I have not got the spare time to work on alternations on the site today but plan on updating and working on the site at some point Fast hosts are asking the following things Before i click Buy The domain name you wish to register this SSL certificate to. Access to DNS ready for quick verification of ownership. Contacts details ready for your Technical and Administrator contacts. Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR).

Andy ECT Moderator 95440 Posts	Posted - 11/07/2018 : 02:09:02 As a bare minimum you would enter the https URL in your main admin settings, in the field labelled HTTPS Store URL. You will also need to check you don't have any paths to files like stats, images, css files etc pointing to http locations or you will get a security warning. It is advisable to have your whole site on https and that would involved editing the web.config file as outlined here https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/support/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=106851 - you would then also set your Store URL to the https form of the address and make sure any absolute links on your site also use https.

Andy ECT Moderator 95440 Posts	Posted - 11/14/2018 : 02:09:58 Hi Jamie Yes, I probably would update first. Check everything is working as it should on the new version and then make the https changes. Andy Please feel free to review / rate our software
