Problem with forced https (General)

Today I have changend my website from http to forced https. This results in a poor appearance of »my little forum« (MLF).

Because https is forced for the complete website, I'm unable to exclude MLF from the forced https address call.

Any idea, how to marry https security + MLF with fine appearance?

Problem with forced https

Hello

Today I have changend my website from http to forced https. This results in a poor appearance of »my little forum« (MLF).

Because https is forced for the complete website, I'm unable to exclude MLF from the forced https address call.

Why would you? Enforce HTTPS to MLF and you are done.

Any idea, how to marry https security + MLF with fine appearance?

Go to admin menu => settings => forum adress and replace "http://" with "https://" in the forum URL.

You have then to enforce HTTPS in the server settings explicitely for the forum (if it was not done before for the whole site (including the forum)).

Tschö, Auge

Perfect solution, it worked at once.
Great support, thank you.
