Hi there! When I connect to the site you mentioned I get a coming soon page. And it connects through http. However, I can choose to enter https and the name of your site and it does indeed pull up the same version of your site over https. I can even view the certificate. Are you perhaps missing a redirect that forces the traffic over https?

Or have I misunderstood the question? You posted this in the SQL section. Did you mean SQL or SSL?

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

But SSL is not working properly as you can see there is not written secure and a lock is also missing

Again, it works for me. The lock is present. But I have to explicitly type it with the https protocol present. I have to type https://www.pockettailors.com. When I do that, it goes to your site with the lock and the certificate present and valid. What you need is a redirect that points from the http to the https version if you want to force traffic over https.

On a side note, I'm moving this thread to the "General Discussion" board as it has more to do with networking and Information Security than SQL :sparkles:

It's not a page rule and has nothing to do with it being WordPress. This is related to how the server directs traffic to your site. You should check with the site that's hosting your webpage about how to force traffic over https by redirecting all http traffic to the https version :smiley:
