HTTPS

[TigCobra]

I moved my forums over to https, but all my post icons are still trying to revert to standard http and it will not load the images.

Any help would be appreicated.

Did you change the URL in adminCP to https://...
Also check your style as some of them have the url hardcoded into templates/stylevars.

[TigCobra]

Yes, I changed it to https, I will have to check the style manager.

I was unable to find anything in templates/stylevars. Its the default style that comes with vbulletin.

In your admincp go to Post Icons > Manage Post Icons > View and then edit the path to every single icon. I also had to do this after switching to https.

You need to make sure you have the following in your htaccess:

# Always use https for secure connections
# Replace 'www.yourdomain.com' with your domain name
# (as it appears on your SSL certificate)
#RewriteEngine On
#RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

If you don't have that in your htaccess file you will have to change all http instances to https manually.

what you don't have an htaccess file?

Provided you use apache and not ngnix, you just create one. The correct name is .htaccess - note the dot at the beginning. For basic information just google for .htaccess

Ty Cell for the correction ... but I figured he know what I was talking about lol ... :p

[TigCobra]

Probably should have been more clear on my previous post. I must have been sleep deprived, because that was about a worthless post. The mod_rewrite in the .htaccess file worked. But why does it force you to do this when you can just redirect to https via the apache config?

[cellarius]

Not everyone can access the apache config. And of course you can set those directives there, too.

I guess what I am looking for an explanation on why this is happening to just post icons?
