Hello @Dan123 ,

Could you first, tell us if you use a VPS (dedicated server work too) or a shared-hosting solution ?

  • If you use a shared-hosting, you need to see with your hosting provider
  • If you are using your own server (such as VPS or Dedicated server), I recommand you to use Let's Encrypt solution: https://letsencrypt.org/

The main website already uses https and has SSL certificate however, when it redirects to the forum/community, it doesn't have https anymore. May I know how to add one and make this site secure, please?

Just to clarify, changing those Xenforo settings won't do anything except perhaps mess your settings up unless you already have a security certificate installed on the server.
