Thanks for the info. Can you tell me where I should look in my cPanel for the certificate?david63 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 28, 2022 10:22 am Your Cpanel should show that you have a SSL certificate.
Have you ever asked for one? Have you ever paid for one (although there are free ones available)? Have you ever had an email to say that a SSL certificate has been renewed? If the answer to all of these is no then in all probablility you have not got a SSL certificate for your site.
If you want one (and most search engines now require one) then you will need to speak with your hosts.
I think I do have one. When I put https in front of my domain name, there is a padlock symbol and my site is apparently verified by verified by cPanel, Inc.. So I assume that means that I can now safely "Cookie secure" to yes without worrying about redirects?
Try some settings to see what happens: also check server settings.Bruce Banner wrote: ↑Wed Sep 28, 2022 12:24 pm Once I've set "Cookie secure" to yes, do I have to then manually type in the s in the "Server protocol" box to turn it from http to https, or will that happen automatically just setting "Cookie secure" to yes?
I've never used .htaccess, don't know how. Also don't know what settings to check but have checked the server settings and the server protocol is https. I had to manually type in the s when I first went to the board index but everything seems fine so far. Nothing glitchy's happened yet.warmweer wrote: ↑Wed Sep 28, 2022 12:48 pmTry some settings to see what happens: also check server settings.Bruce Banner wrote: ↑Wed Sep 28, 2022 12:24 pm Once I've set "Cookie secure" to yes, do I have to then manually type in the s in the "Server protocol" box to turn it from http to https, or will that happen automatically just setting "Cookie secure" to yes?
You might also want to autoredirect to https: via .htaccess (if it's used).
Honestly ? you've been a member here since 2014 so you should have read some topics about that (+ there's always good ol' Google)
