Please could someone advise me from changing from HTTP to HTTPS in my Admin panel. There is a message in the Admin panel and to click on the button to change it. Is it complicated to do? I am 75 years old and very reluctant to try pressing anything as I am not technically minded. Your help would be very much appreciated, thank you.

Hello,
If you press the button, it will do all the work for you. The most you will have to do is change any links or images that are not Forumotion or Servimg to https. That is all you will have to do, our system will take care of the rest .

You need to look for those links in your css sheet, templates and javascript codes

Re: Help me from changing from HTTP to HTTPS
Hey @sisterval,
Welcome to Support Forumotion! After installation the SSL certificate your forum will only allow links from secure websites (
) so you will have to use our platform Servimg, for example, to host images (or on a secure website) to ensure that the images is load!
Cordially,

Hello @sisterval
I would browse your website in order to make quick checks. But I didn't see the URL of your forum. Can you share it please?
