https-redirection folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.

How will the plugin work with the existing .htaccess file?
If the file exists, the plugin will update existing .htaccess file.
What should I do if the .htaccess file does not exist?
The plugin will store the settings in the database and add all the necessary conditions to the settings of WordPress automatically.
What should I do if after making changes in the .htaccess file with the help of the plugin my site stops working?
The.htaccess is located in the site root. With your FTP program or via Сpanel go to the site root, open the .htaccess file and delete the necessary strings manually.

How to use the other language files with the HTTPS Redirection?
Here is an example for German language files.
-
In order to use another language for WordPress it is necessary to set the WP version to the required language and in configuration wp file – wp-config.php in the line define('WPLANG', ''); write define('WPLANG', 'de_DE');. If everything is done properly the admin panel will be in German.
-
Make sure that there are files de_DE.po and de_DE.mo in the plugin (the folder languages in the root of the plugin).
-
If there are no such files it will be necessary to copy other files from this folder (for example, for Russian or Italian language) and rename them (you should write de_DE instead of ru_RU in the both files).
-
The files are edited with the help of the program Poedit – http://www.poedit.net/download.php – please load this program, install it, open the file with the help of this program (the required language file) and for each line in English you should write translation in German.
-
If everything has been done properly all the lines will be in German in the admin panel and on frontend.
