If you’re using other website software set the website domain URL settings to include “s” in the url eg. https:\/\/yourdomain.com.au\/<\/span><\/p>

If you’re not using any website software you can force SSL using an htaccess file in your public_html folder.<\/p>

You can first\u00a0try going to the Domains page in cpanel and enable Force HTTPS Redirect. That will often fix the problem.<\/p>

Otherwise, or if using a Subdomain or Addon domain you can copy and paste this code into your htaccess file to force SSL on all pages of your website.<\/p>

—————————–
RewriteOptions inherit
RewriteEngine on<\/p>

# If the hostname is NOT yourdomain.com.au
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^yourdomain\\.com\\.au [OR]
# Or if non SSL request
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
# 301 redirect to the same resource on yourdomain.com.au
RewriteRule (.*) https:\/\/yourdomain.com.au%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
——————————<\/p>

The first bit of the code,
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^yourdomain\\.com\\.au [OR]
is not SSL related. It simply forces any parked domain to redirect to the main domain.<\/p>

Its not a universal piece of code, it may need tweaking for a specific website, but it is quite versatile. If you search google you will find lots of examples of how to do it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
