To enable the SSL certificate and enable the possibility of connecting to the website via https (green padlock), you should perform the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We log into the backend of our website (www.customer-domain.au\/admin, where the customer-domain is changed to the name of your domain).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Click “System” in the top left corner<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Go to “Global Configuration”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. In the “Force HTTPS” option, select the “Entire Site” option<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also an alternate method which is not recommended due to complications that may arise after modifying the .htacces file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advanced users can use this method at their own risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there are RewriteCond and RewriteRule rules in the .htaccess file, try adding a rule:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^\/\\.well-known\/acme-challenge\/[0-9a-zA-Z_-]+$<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The rule above is responsible for redirecting to https or to the index.php file. An example configuration of a .htaccess file with additional rules already inserted may look like this: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on\n    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^\/\\.well-known\/acme-challenge\/[0-9a-zA-Z_-]+$\u00a0\n    RewriteRule ^.*$ https:\/\/%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
