Changing core settings to SSL?

[Happy go Lucky]

I have a user who sent me a note that I should force users automatically use SSL. He mentions that this might be done in the core settings of Invision and where I see http://, add the s to make it https://

I don't know where to do this or if it's something I should do.

Any assistance would be great. Thanks!

Try this:
Add to your htaccess file

<IfModule mod_headers.c>
 Header set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload" env=HTTPS
 </IfModule>

Not sure where that htaccess file is.

Login ftp - in your root directory is this file.

Ummm. Ok. I don't know where the root directory is. My apologies. My tech background for this is zero.

I'm at the dashboard screen where it has Overview, Site Features, Settings, etc. down the left hand side.

What host are you using? If your site is in the cloud - wait to be advised by the IPS.
If your host is self - you should be an installer, or ask an your installer for a root directory.

Hostpapa is hosting this. I guess this is something they should do for me. Thanks.
