Viewing https

https



User: jefflopezdesigns 9 years ago
I just got everything switched over on the server side for https but it's still not working correctly. Is there something I have to do in EW to allow https? If I go and change the code in the html will it revert back once I publish again from EW?

Thanks!

What do you mean by "not working correctly"? What exactly happens?

Well nothing happens, this is what my hosting guy said

"I just looked at your site and it seems to be straight html, so basically you will want to make all of your links throughout your pages start with https instead of just http, and then I've also added a rule to your .htaccess file to force visitors to https if they come in on regular http. However, the site still isn't showing https so I'm not sure what else you have on it causing things to revert back. I would start with making sure all of your site uses https links its pages on your end and re-publish and see what happens."

I have some other forms on the same server and they are all showing https correctly.

If I compare the face next to your post with the one on the website, I think this is the one :

http://www.jefflopezdesigns.com

Notice I use http. On my iPad it changes to https. I can view your certificate.

I doubt the webpage itself has anything to do with it.

Thanks for checking that for me! So it's maybe "halfway" working? Haha, is it suppose to show at the top with the lock icon next to it? Or is what it's doing enough? The forms I have hosted show the address with https in front of it and the lock icon?

I looked closer and the certificate said that there are unsecure links.

I looked at the source and you use http links like this one :

http://www.jefflopezdesigns.com/machform/embed.php?id=11810

It changes to https.

When linking to files on the same server with the same domainname, there's no need to use absolute URLs.

Try this (There are other links as well) ::

/machform/embed.php?id=11810

It's called relative to root (search for explanation). This way, your site is domainname independent.

Thanks so much, I think I'm starting to understand, I'm assuming this is done outside of EW. When I publish again in EW will it revert back to absolute?

If you use Safari and enable the Developer menu in the Preferences you can use the 'Show Error Console'

The issue is the Google Fonts are not being inserted properly for https based websites.

This has been fixed in version 1.7. We should have a beta coming out late next week.

Thanks for the heads up! So I just want to confirm that once I update to 1.7 it should fix my issue without having to change urls from absolute to relative?

Hey Paul,
I created a page with nothing on it but background colors and it's still not showing up as https, any thoughts?

Nevermind, i just remembered I added some google font code to the "head/footer" code for the whole site, so even though nothing is on this page, the code is still embedded there.

Is this fixed? Do I need to recreate the pages, or re-add the google font code?

Take a look at the source of your published pages. The links are now like this…

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Josefin+Slab|Lato">

… instead of this…

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Josefin+Slab|Lato">
