Moving from http to https

[the one]

Ok i have asked my server Interserver.net to change me over from http to https

They have said it will be easy and should be completed within 24 hours.They said this please check the site to load with https after 12 to 24 hours.Once the ssl is set we can redirect your http traffic to https.I am assuming that all the 100000 posts on my forum will be redirected to https.

They never mentioned i wold have to do anything with my forum.I noticed in admin cp my website url is http://jandeane81.com do i need to change that to https//jandeane81.com

I know some have had major problems with this.

Many thanks

It is easier than you think. Yes, you will need to do a bit of work on your end. Read through this thread as well.

I disagree. You are going to have to change all instances of your site links in templates from http to https.
ACP Site URL to https
All addons with options set using http need changed to https.
All site image paths need changed to https.
You will be editing post throughout time to fix site links or image links.
It is easier than you think.

If you follow the article that was linked to in post #2, it will cover pretty much everything you need.

You do need to follow it carefully though.

Have you definitely had your host install an SSL certificate for your site? As you need to this, and currently if I go to https://jandeane81.com/ I get this:
ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID

It's not enough to just change the url to https, you do need an SSL certificate on the server too.

I am assuming that was already acquired.
