Hi,
Please see below exchange between myself and my host provider, I am no coder so it's all lost on me.
Neither my forum nor the ACP are now accessible.
My forum, formally http://www.tipf.co.uk - Now https://tipf.co.uk
Thanks in advance.
From me:
"Hi there,
I've just purchased SSL for my website which has been auto configured, unfortunately, when using https://tipf.co.uk, you'll see the site is broken (have a look at the original http://www.tipf.co.uk), I have no idea how to correct this going forward.
Any help would be appreciated."
Their response:
"Hello,
Thank you for contacting our Technical Support Department.
The issue was caused by the hotlink protection added for your website which I had to disable. Before you activate Hotlink Protection for your site, make sure that you use only relative paths for the links to your images. Otherwise, using absolute image paths will prevent the images from being displayed online!
A redirection rule has been added in your .htaccess file as follows:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Note that you might have to check with the script vendor (or website developer) for the proper way of redirecting your http to https traffic since you might have to edit some hard coded URLs if there is a "mixed content".
Best Regards,"
