    Solved How do I make my site secure

    Post by Kamui April 28th 2019, 12:43 am

    I noticed that my site says "not secure" in the url, but when I look at forumotion's security, it says secure and has the lock on it. How do I do this?

    you have to buy the ssl certificate
    the SSL certificate is an option included in the Advanced and Premium packages

    I understand that part, but it's actually putting in the https manually. I'm confused on it, and the SSL ticket is the only way to make the site secure?

    Your forum is secure.  The SSL certificate adds the secure icon in the browser tab.  Basically everything on your forum needs to have https links.  This include images, videos, links, codes, etc.  If you host your images with Servimg, they will be automatically converted to https if you install a SSL certificate.  This also goes for the default coding and links by Forumoation.
