Help with php code - need to add condition to make one link https

Question

Hi,

I have a wordpress blog and I need to make one of the pages secure. I have been told to make the link to that page point to https://claimpage.html as opposed to http://claimpage.html.

The problem is I don't actually create the menu that links the user to the individual pages. This is done automatically by the code in the background. I think I need to put in some sort of an IF statement, saying, if the title of the page is "claim now" then use https otherwise use http.

I found this code in the header.php so I think my changes need to go in here but I'm not really sure what to do.

<div id="navbar">
  <ul class="menu">
   <li class="<?php if ( is_home() ) { ?>current_page_item<?php } else { ?>page_item<?php } ?>"><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>"><?php _e('Home'); ?></a></li>
   <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=id&depth=1&title_li='); ?>
   <?php wp_register('<li>','</li>'); ?>
  </ul>
</div> <!-- end of #navbar -->

Any suggestions as to how I can make one page that I know the title and url or https while the others are kept using normal http?

The site is hosted on a secure server so I do have an ssl certificate.

Answer 1

Use a Rewrite rule or RedirectMatch in your .htaccess. That will take care if redirecting the link without modifying the code.

Answer 2

if you only have one language and your link to this site is static paste it statically into your theme.

<div id="navbar">
  <ul class="menu">
   <li class="<?php if ( is_home() ) { ?>current_page_item<?php } else { ?>page_item<?php } ?>"><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>"><?php _e('Home'); ?></a></li>
   <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=id&depth=1&title_li='); ?>
   <?php wp_register('<li>','</li>'); ?>
   <li><a href="https://yoursecurelink"&gt;my secure link</a></li>
  </ul>
</div> <!-- end of #navbar -->

there is no need for regex, IF or ELSE, or something. your link is statically i think, so just paste it in.

Answer 3

Following on from prodigitalson's idea. You can add this to your .htaccess:

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^claimpage.html https://claimpage.html [R=301,L] 

That should do the trick.
