I am considering running my forum in full https, but before I do, I would like to know if there are other members who have done the same and if there were any problems afterwards. I read somewhere on the forum there might be an issue with modals not working properly, how true is this ?
You shouldn't experience any problems once the URLs are set up properly (everything points to
https:// instead of
http://). The only issue would be external resources like images and videos included in users' posts when loaded over HTTP, which may cause browsers to trigger warnings (no green padlock icon) or display that content incorrectly (
DVZ Secure Content can remedy that).
I have https running now, and i have 2 issues so far
1) Modals don't work
2) still investigating, but green lock don't appear on pages where smilies are being used.
Edit: I have installed the DVZ secure content plugin.
another edit: works on the default theme
modals working, just some minor things to sort out now
So what was the solution for modals?
