Wordpress not redirecting to HTTPS

Question

I'm currently working on a new Wordpress Site and (ofc) want to redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS. They way I tried it is by defining this in my .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

For the landingpage this works fine, but all posts are still accessible through HTTP without getting redirected. Any ideas why this could be happening?

is the permalinks "default" permalinks or "post type" in permalinks page? — charan kumar, Nov 02 '18 at 08:49

Appareantly the order of the configs is important. When placing is at the very top of the .htaccess it worked as expected.
