Hello,
I have created a forum. I wanted to enable users to register through facebook, for which I used a plugin called. MyFacebook Connect 3.2. After a problem with installation (described here - https://community.mybb.com/thread-218489.html) I managed to work it out.
I created a facebook developer account and afterwards the link to register through facebook ALMOST worked.
My facebook account is good. So this thing is certainly not an issue.
However, when I press "join through facebook" button on the forum, and it takes me to my fb account - I recieve the following message on my facebook:
I am not an expert, but I believe it might be an issue related to the sad fact that my forum indeed does not start with https://.
But!
When I enter my forum link and I put the entire address with https:// in the beggining I see a message:
My question - how can I make my forum appear when I enter the https:// like the way it normally looks, when I just type in mywebsite.com/forum or www.mywebsite.com/forum OR http://mywebsite.com/forum
IMPORTANT NOTE: the forum and website is protected by htaccess file, can it be an obstacle? I dont think so, but I think this detail might be somehow worth sharing.

Quote:Insecure Login Blocked: You can't get an access token or log in to this app from an insecure page. Try re-loading the page as https://That clearly means that I log from a forum that link does not start with https://. When I press "Okay" on that message I return to the forum and I see the following text:
Quote:The access token is missing. You probably didn't authorize our application to gather your data. Approving our application is mandatory if you want to log in or register to our Forums, please retry and authorize our application when asked. If you authorized the application but you still cannot log in or register, please contact an administrator.

When I enter my forum link and I put the entire address with https:// in the beggining I see a message:

My question - how can I make my forum appear when I enter the https:// like the way it normally looks, when I just type in mywebsite.com/forum or www.mywebsite.com/forum OR http://mywebsite.com/forum
