### Installation

[](#installation)

1. Download or clone the repository
2. Copy the folder to `user/plugins/yourls-require-protocol/`
3. In YOURLS Admin: **Activate the plugin**

---

### Configuration

[](#configuration)

All settings can be found at the top of `plugin.php`.

#### Allow only HTTPS

[](#allow-only-https)

```
define('REQP_REQUIRE_HTTPS', true);
```

#### Automatically upgrade http:// to https://

[](#automatically-upgrade-http-to-https)

```
define('REQP_UPGRADE_TO_HTTPS', true);
```

#### When no protocol is present: automatically add http://

[](#when-no-protocol-is-present-automatically-add-http)

```
define('REQP_AUTO_ADD_HTTP', true);
```

#### When no protocol is present: automatically add https://

[](#when-no-protocol-is-present-automatically-add-https)

```
define('REQP_AUTO_ADD_HTTPS', true);
```

Note: If both `REQP_AUTO_ADD_HTTPS` and `REQP_AUTO_ADD_HTTP` are set to `true`, `https://` takes precedence.
