If you are using https domain than add following:

# BEGIN HTTPS Redirection Plugin

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^XX\.XX\.XX\.XX$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://your-domain-name.com/$1 [L,R=301]

# END HTTPS Redirection Plugin

We are using https redirection plugin on site. Above block of code is generated by the plugin and we added only two lines in the code block. Below two lines are responsible to set IP to Domain redirection:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^XX\.XX\.XX\.XX$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://your-domain-name.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Here ^XX.XX.XX.XX$ is your IP address, replace it like this: ^12.34.56.78$ with your server IP.
