XF 2.0 SSL's and redirecting HTTP to HTTPS..

[MarcusG]

Before you ask, yes I have looked at the other threads about the same problem and tried solving it on my own however I just can't get it for some reason. It's been an annoying adventure figuring this out on my own and seeking help from various people to try to fix the problem for me. I would go to my domain (GoDaddy) for their support but I still get lost reading their tutorial on it and I will NOT pay $80 just for them to redirect the HTTP to HTTPS for me.. This is my first ever website that I created using this forum software. Someone please help me out, make a tutorial for dummies like me.

Do you have a valid SSL certificate? (As in, your site works over SSL already?)

If so, in XF, make sure your "Board URL" is set to the HTTPS value (and that it's correct) and then enable the "Enable board URL canonicalization" option.

Yes. The site does have a valid SSL certificate. I even used this site to check what's wrong https://www.whynopadlock.com/results/308c579a-0109-4916-b729-6a0116bc81b7 So something's wrong with my htaccess I presume.. when going to http://kingdomsofargus.com/ it won't redirect to https://kingdomsofargus.com/

Did you set the board URL to have HTTPS and enable the other option I mentioned?

Enabling board URL canonicalization made it work! THANK YOU! I knew I shouldn't have listened to that guy telling me not to worry about that option.. Thank you for your service
