AutoSSL Let’s Encrypt plugin cannot verify domain because of .htaccess 301 redirect
I recently came across an issue where the AutoSSL let’s encrypt plugin can’t verify the domain. Strange though it may seem, this tool needs to access the website over http to renew the SSL certificate. A solution can be to disable the .htaccess redirect, renew, then enable again, but this is not a very elegant solution of course. A better solution is to uninstall the AutoSSL plugin and let Really Simple SSL handle the Lets Encrypt certificate proces. If
