Hi Everyone, 

My forum lives on a domain that runs a Wordpress site. The Wordpress portion has already been converted over to https and is working great. What is the best way to convert the forums portion over to https?

Is there documentation for this? Or can someone provide instructions? Thanks in advance for your help. 

are you asking to convert half the forums or your all forums

The support team can best advise but I would've thought that the main step would be setting base_url to the https://yourdomain.com in your conf_global.php file. Maybe your license has to be changed to reflect that too. You can do that in the client area.

 

Sorry I wasn't completely clear. I want to convert the entire site to https

I will take a look at the guide. Thanks. 

Keep in mind that while the switch itself is easy, there is currently no automatic way to convert embedded http content in your forum posts to https. 

I see this is going to be a problem. Hopefully there will not be a lot. Thanks. 

I am in the look and feel section... and then global template.. is this the right place?

If you see "Look and Feel", that is the very old 3.4 or older version. What is it you are trying to do?

Yes you should upgrade, all support is handled via our client area though, not direct email, you can submit a new ticket and we can assist you here https://invisioncommunity.com/clientarea/support/

 

I made the change via FTP. There are a few unsecure things on the main page that I need to find and sort out, but the rest of the site seems ok. I found this site  called "whynopadlock.com" that checks for insecure items.

It's pretty simple to do, use chrome, on the page with issues, open the dev tools and then select "console" it will show you the items that need fixed. 

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks, helped a lot!

We switched our community from http to https and this operation took only few minutes.

Even links in articles updated automatically, so I don't need manually update internal links and old http links are redirected to https automatically too!

Some pages seems to be unsecured because to "mixed content", but reason is that we switched only our community (on subdomain). Main domain, which some content is used in our community is still provided on http links, but this we resolve soon.
