Changing a Xara website to secure SSL (https)

[ianzzz5]

I am no expert on regex, but theres many different ways of achieving the same thing.

So !=on is equivalent to off

I am pretty sure the extra (.*)$ means apply to any filename but by omitting it I guess that is the default behaviour anyway.

Thanks, I haven’t got a clue but just thought it looked odd that one said “on” and the other “off”.

Thanks for this!
Successfully migrated to https.
Great that WD automatically update the robot.txt and sitemap.xml.
Don't forget to add them and the new https adress to google as new property's, with and without the WWW prefix.
Thanks again, love this software, even designed all business cards, gift certificate and office docs with it.

Godaddy will not offer me LetsEncrypt SSL certificate , they want me to pay for SSL.

My hosting company this week directed me to www.whynopadlock.com to help me check and get code for helping me make my sites SSL secure. I thought is was very helpful. After entering my domain, it even provided the code that I needed to put in my .htaccess file. Plus it is free.

Get yourself a cloudflare account, you'll get a CDN and a free SSL, you just change the nameservers over to cloudflare (5 minute job)

Edit - just seen the date for this, but it still applies, the account with cloudflare is free, comes with the SSL certificate and should speed up your website loading speed for people not based near the servers.

Thank you for the advice.

Cloudflare is great!! But if you use it be aware of this issue in this thread that I had with it... https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...loudflareShort story - use the Developer Mode when you update your website to clean your cache file so your website displays correctly.

Where do I paste the code?

Is it an option in Xara? I can't find any htaccess file in my file manager.
