Hi guys,

This is a new problem for me so maybe someone might be able to help me out.

I have an SSL cert on my site which is forced over checkout (using woocommerce).

I can see 2 issues which I have at the moment with the site:

1. when I go to the http version of the site it shows just the blank template, even after clearing the cache etc. if I type in the https version it shows the site fine?
2. Google seems to have indexed my site in the https version? Is this a problem? I began building links to the http version?

Thanks!

Force the use of https (as you should) and the problems are gone.You can Google "htaccess force https" for a solution to forcing https.

Google prefers https these days.

If you are registered with SSl certification then your old version HTTP wont work as you said it display only a blank template. clear cookies then try again you will get your site displayed only if you are using HTTPS.

have you tried it in a different browser?

that's because http is still saved on your browser, clear cookies on your browser and try again. this should solve the problem.

I believe the same.

If you try with a different browser you will not have this problem.

Clear the cookies. ( Google it : clear cookies ( mozilla,ie,chrome ...) )

I cleared cookies and even tried on a different machine and it's the same when I input http.

So should I be redirecting http --> https?

Also should I link build to the https version now?

Confused
