How i can install a ssl on mybb?
Thanks
Open up your ACP.

Settings => General Settings => Board URL. Include http:// or https://

In your case it should be: https://xyz.com
You will also need a valid SSL certificate and correctly configure your web server.

Note that some shared hosts don't let you add your own certificate and you must pay your host for one.

You can obtain a certificate from a certificate authority. Most require you to pay for them, however Let's Encrypt offers free SSL certificates.

For instructions installing a certificate on your web server (ignore the DigiCert specific stuff):

What's your forum URL? It could be that some assets are loading over HTTP when then main page is over HTTPS (causing mixed content issues).
You need to change your forum URL as firefox blocks all content from unsecured Sources on secured websites, also you can obtain a free SSL from wosign, StartSSL, Letsencrypt,COMODO(90 days) and cloudflare. You need to setup Certificate and Private key to turn on HTTPS on your domain except CloudFlare as it have integrated certs if you enabled cloudflare on your domain, the main thing is your forum/Board URL as MyBB uses your given URL for resources to load.

Before changing your board URL preferences in the admin CP you're going to want to actually have an SSL certificate installed.

Are you currently on shared hosting? If so, ask your web host about their policies regarding SSL certificates (if they can install it for you and/or if they offer LetsEncrypt).

If you get stuck, feel free to reach out to me via PM and I'll be happy to look into this for you (even if you don't host with us).

Same error..

Members, forum team, mod cp and others links work but threads and forums no work to be accesed...
I just installed Let's Encrypt from cPanel > then redirect *****.com to https://******.com

Then changed Board URL and Home Page URL in Board settings > Site Details to https://*****.com

I also found some menu links and images that I had added to my theme needed changing too.
