I have a problem with enabling SSL on me forum. When I install SSL my site doesn't work properly. I understood that all http links should be changed to https. The problem is that I can't find a way to change them.I don't know where all these links are and how to change them. Is there any easier way?
There are a few place where you have to change links:
ACP:
Configuration > Board settings > Board URL (the most important)
Files:
inc/settings.php > $settings['bburl']
Also check in your templates if you don't have hard-coded links
inc/settings.php When I open this file it says -DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE, PLEASE USE THE SETTINGS EDITOR. What does this mean?
it says: be fearless, but be careful
Normally you edit the settings in the ACP, but it can sometimes be necessary to take the direct route and whenever you take this route, you also have to follow the route in the ACP afterwards, without fear and with full confidence
if you have changed the settings in ACP, the settings.php should be up to date
Thank you very much for the help. I just had to change - Board URL . settings.php was changed automatically.
you see, it is easy and nothing to fear
I noticed another problem. Now the google seo plugin is turned on the and latest shared forum posts are not loading on my homepage. Everything else works with seo links. But the main page loads endlessly where the last shared forum messages should be displayed (Latest Threads preview) When I turn on the option for seo Threads the Latest Threads preview stop working. ( # Google SEO URL Threads:
RewriteRule ^Thread\-([^./]+)$ showthread.php?google_seo_thread=$1 [L,QSA,NC] )
