Answer 1

Try the following code and put these lines into .htaccess file (if not exists then create) at the root of project folder :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

And make sure that you have also using https protocol in your $config['base_url'] in config.php file like

$config['base_url'] = 'https://yourproject.local/';

Answer 2

Add this in your .htaccess

RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Base_url() should be

$config['base_url'] = 'https://www.example.com/';
