I have some problems when I install SSL

AleM

I have installed the latest flarum version, and I have also added an SSL. I have changed the url into config.php, and if I go with https, it works all fine, but the website, by default it goes without SSL, so I've tryed to force it by editing .htaccess file, but now I get:
"Something went wrong while trying to load the full version of this site. Try hard-refreshing this page to fix the error."

I have already tryed to flush the cache, but still nothing..

AleM I suggest reverting the changes you made in htaccess and using this extension instead.

I actually just got back the original htaccess and turned on the "Always Use HTTPS" option under crypto in cloudflare, is redirecting it to https now. Not sure is the best way to do it, but it works for now. Do you reckon I should install that extension aswell?

AleM If it's working for you via Cloudflare, I don't think you'll need the extension. It's just another way to create a redirect. Glad you got it working now!

The extension also takes care of redirecting www to no-www or no-www to www subdomain. Cloudflare doesn't do that by default, but maybe your webserver already takes care of it, or you can implement that redirect with a Cloudflare rule 😉

clarkwinkelmann 100% correct - I use Cloudflare and have this as a redirect in Page Rules

Extension not necessary then 😉
