Trace 301 Redirect Rule and move all request to www subdomain
I have a domain example.com added to the DigitalOcean (Ubuntu 16.04) with Apache2.4.18 and have Wordpress installed on it. The site is running properly.
The problem is, that all the request www.example.com redirects to example.com. I need example.com to redirect to www.example.com.
I see there are 2 ways to do it. 1. .htaccess and 2. Apache config file, currently using 000-default.conf file. I installed letsencrypt ssl, which added the following RewriteRule to 000-default.conf
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =www.example.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =example.com
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
based on the research online, I did modify the 000-default.conf to
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
and also tried the following code in .htaccess file.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
Upon doing either of these, I get error of multiple redirection loop. Which basically redirecting example.com to www.example.com and www.example.com to example.com and so on. I tested the same on Redirectcheck.com.
The main issue is I can't seem to find out the first 301 Redirect which is all the request being redirected to exmple.com. If I can disable or overwrite the main 301 Redirect rule then I can achieve all the request to be redirected to www.example.com.
I did my research but I'm hitting my head hard here, any help would be really appreciated. Thank You!

So, I finally traced it down, all the configuration were correct, the only issue was in the WordPress -> Admin Panel -> Setting -> General. I have placed the site_url and main_url as example.com and when I updated it to www.example.com and tested again, It did fix it.
