Site-Wide SSL

[Christian Reagan]

Hello, I felt like I have done an decent amount of research before being forced to post here for help. I am looking to make everyone connect to my site via https/ssl, i have attempted the htaccess way and also editing the conf_global, but the site is still going to http on some pages. If anyone has implemented this on there site please let me know how so i can attempt tot test it out.

 

Thanks in advance

I have done it my self yesterday, you are sure that all http links are gone ?

What is your site?, maybe I can help you.

“Some pages“? Which pages? How are the links to those pages created? In the menu? In a post? In the templates?

Don’t forget to put a general http to https redirect in your htaccess file to make sure that every page will be delivered over SSL. Example:

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Is that really necessary ?

At the moment I do not have that, everything is ssl by my.

I don’t know your server setup or your site. If you link it, I will check it out. 

Or try this: Pick URLs from your page that use https. Manually edit the URL and remove the s in https and request the page again. What happens? Will you always be forwarded to the secure page or is the page delivered over http? Then you definitely need to set up such global redirects.

Hi!

The page is going directly to https if you remove the s.

 

Here is my link: nld-farmers.nl

Its a farming game forum

Okay. No, that doesn’t work right. I can force to load the site via http only. Which is bad for SEO and cause other problems, e.g. when users try to login over http and then are redirected to https. 

In addition, while your site can be loaded over SSL, the browsers still flags it as insecure, since you are still have insecure resources in it.

You need to fix both things – or not use SSL at all. At the moment you made things worse.

So...."which pages?" are the problem. Keep giving information and we'll get there with a clear understanding of the issue.

http://nld-farmers.nl doesn't redirect to https://nld-farmers.nl

My cursory glance at your menu shows that your 'Extra' and 'Guides' menu items do not have http/https in their URLs, but their children do.....so go and check those in your menu manager, to see if they can be given a https entry.

Also, the block that is display to guests asking "do you want to make full use..." has a hard-coded link that is http. So update that.

Anything else?

I have added the RewriteCond and RewriteRule.

Hope its okay now  

[Nathan Explosion]

One more - 'Partners' is also http.

Let us know if that resolves your issues - if it doesn't then you are going to need to describe things a lot better, being specific about what is/isn't working for you.

[SaltyBart]

Works great now, thanks!
