  Version recommendation: FREEZE at n.n | UPDATE OK


.........................
* May have issues on deactivation:
    https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impossible-to-desactivate-without-errors/

     The plugin does not make any changes to your website, 
     it only converts bad links into good links while it is running. 
     
     If you have changed your website settings to https (Settings > General) 
     then you will need to clean up your content with something like
     Better Search Replace as described on the documentation site:
     https://ssl.webaware.net.au/testing/cleaning-up-content/

     Détection HTTPS should be set to the setting that the plugin
     recommends. e.g. if it recommends HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO then
     please select that setting. If you don’t, then WordPress
     will not know when your website is loaded on https and you
     could get Too Many Redirections errors.

     Deactivating the plugin can also give you those errors if you
     have changed your website Home and Site URL to https, because
     WordPress can’t tell when you’re on https and will redirect
     you to https endlessly.

     If you want to remove this plugin safely, you will need to
     modify your wp-config.php file. In your case, you can add this
     to your wp-config.php file near the top:
        if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO']) === 'https') {
            $_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'on';
        }
