    Does anyone have experience of making an Enfold website https?

    Any problems to avoid?

    Thanks for any advice,
    Stephen McAteer.

    switching to https is not a specific Enfold thing. It is allways the same like on any other wordpress installation.
    i do allway install before changing anything the plugin search & replace

    After that i change the urls in dashboard – settings – : wordpress url and website url to https.
    After that you has to login again. Than goto search and replace under tools ( you can do that by mysql but this way is much easier.)
    Important: just do it – First Tab is for saving the DB by crating a sql file –
    second tab is for search and replace action

    search for : http://your.domain
    replace by: https://your.domain

    ! Make a proof if your writing is correct at all
    activate all tables ( i do not make a test – i made the mark at write direct to DB.
    thats all
    Attention: do not only search http and replace it by https (all links including the links to external scripts (google api etc) are affected than.

    Thanks very much for your advice Guenni. It looks a little more complicated than I thought. But my boss want HTTPS, so…

    Cheers,

    follow-up:
    1) remember to add the new website to Google Search Console
    2a) change the url property in Google Analytics (put the url with https)
    2b) if you had set the goals previously, remember too change the urls of you set an absolute path

    by the way you can force the opening of your site in https mode by htaccess file.
    There are some help on that – google for it. (force https htaccess)
    because a lot of people may have stored your site with non https link – with that they are redirected
    i used:

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT}     !^443$
RewriteRule (.*)  https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

    or

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
