Changes to do for upgrading from HTTP to HTTPS?

This topic has been marked as resolved.

Dear Support,

I have just arranged a SSL-certificate for my web shop. Now I´m wonder if I need to do any changes in the code regarding the theme? I´m using following:

Opencart 1.5.6.4
Pavilion Theme v2.1.5
BurnEngine version 1.1.5

I have done the changes in config.php and admin/config.php.

Best regards Thomas

Hello again,

1. Just some complementing info from me… I have the opportunity through my host provider to choose the option “Force SSL” for my web shop domain. I don´t exactly know what that means or what settings is used when I mark that option to YES. Is this a good or bad option and do you know if it´s working together with the theme?

2. I´m using the following code in the top of my .htaccess-file:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]

I did the choice to arrange the www option for my web shop when I started. I notice that my host provider did´t react on the http-information there when I asked them some question about the code regarding the SSL certificate. For me if feels wrong to use only http and not https in in the code, just a though I have. I have no knowledge about this coding.

Thanks for your support!

Best regards Thomas

Hi,

1) We can’t know for sure. The best way is to test :)

2) Url redirect is needed to always go to the HTTPS version of the website, but you will also need to touch the OC config file. More information can be found here:

Thanks for the answer!

I completed my web shop with a extra module just for the whole ssl function. It now seems to work correctly. Thanks!
