https instead of http

[pacstar]

Is there a way to get links URLs to default with "https" instead of "http" in WBB when adding a URL to an image, text etc. so I don't need to remember to add the "s" every time?

"http://" is there by default. Can it be change to show "https://" by default instead?

Thanks

You not need add always external link to image, that do WWB self, when create WWB project. he create image folder when publish web by self, so when use image from your PC he not write link from PC, he give auto link to folder image, so not need add any link with https, he do self if have by default saved project.

That's not what I asked. I was referring to adding a link to an image.

Also, in regards to your comment, that does not work if you are pulling your images from another site or a dedicated image file.

I dont think you can change it as its in the coding of WB.
maybe put in a suggestion to Pablo to add in to have possibly a dropdown box with http:// and https:// so we can make the selection.
Currently I dont worry too much about it because all sites i do I have placed a 301 redirect in the .htaccess file so if its got http it will automatically send it to https

Sorry that is not currently possible. Do you require the pages to be https://? have you purchased and installed a ssl license?. There is not much purpose to try and use https:// if the site/pages aren't using a ssl license it false security for the user. Once you have a ssl license and installed you can simply use a 301 redirect htaccess as mentioned by Graham. Unfortunately this is something we cannot assist you with as it is server sided related and you should contact your host for assistance.

Note there are previous posts/threads regarding this a quick search will find user replies on this that may help you with how to write the required .htaccess file needed.

Also, in regards to your comment, that does not work if you are pulling your images from another site or a dedicated image file.

If the images are external and do not use https:// then you cannot change this unless you have access to them on the server they use. If you have access then you can make the change but you yourself will need to set the url to show this as the software has noway to know the change has been made.

Graham,
Thanks. I'm not sure I am conveying correctly the issue.
I have 8 different websites. All of these sites share the some of the same images (such as on the header, and for items that are on each site). So when I put one of these images on a page in WWB, I can just use the image address (URL) to that photo. So if I change the image in the future, it will automatically make the change to all sites instantly rather than needing to find them individually on each site.

BUT, my main issue is this...

If you add a link to an image on your site and accidentally use "http" instead of "https" you will get a "page insecure" error in your browser because it recognizes a non secure link, (even though technically the link is secure). Since Google is now down grading non secure sites, it just seems to me the default should be https instead of http (JMO). A WWB user can always remove the "s" if they are linking to an un secure URL.

Does that make sence??? (I hope)

Thanks again.

Thanks. This is getting confused I think...Argh.

My sites are all https and redirects are already all in place. I'm talking about adding a link to an image. <Object Properties> <Link> Link to <External Web Address> URL: <http:// >. If you add a link to an image on your site and accidentally use "http" instead of "https" you will get a "page insecure" error in your browser because it recognizes a non secure link, (even though technically the link is secure). Since Google is now down grading non secure sites, it just seems to me the default should be https instead of http (JMO). A WWB user can always remove the "s" if they are linking to an un secure URL.

I was just wondering if there was an option to change "preferred links" to https some where that I couldnt find. Just like you can change from html to htm etc.

I hope that explains it correctly,
Thanks again

Hello dear pablo,
When i create form in my project i took mistake from to google chrome SSL "you are redirected to an unsecured site"

the following code is enough to disrupt the SSL structure when I delete below code SSL will be good

<form name="indexLayoutGrid1" method="post" action="mailto:yourname@yourdomain.com" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="indexLayoutGrid1">

How can i fix this situation ? I want to use it in form, but SSL is important

[Pablo]

Note that using 'mailto' is not a reliable way to process forms.
I recommend to use the built-in form script or a third party form processor.
