Hello Ruth,

Is this discussion useful? https://helpcenter.websitex5.com/en/post/197192

J.P.

You got to add to the .htaccess file the following code;

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.nameofwebsite.xxx/$1 [R,L]
</IfModule>

Thanks so much for your responses. I'm pretty new to this so where can I find the .htaccess file in order to add the code?

I'm using 123reg.

Thanks again for your help

The .htaccess file should be in the root directory of the server where your website is hosted. If it's not there you can create one on your computer with a text editor and upload it to the server.

Ruth, htaccess will already exist, but it is a hidden file. I use filezilla (free) or similar. You can find it in with the rest of your website files on the host, in Filezilla, in the right pane right click download, and then in the left pane right click edit, then upload again after changes (filezilla will prompt).

Before you download or edit, you may wish to make a copy. If you get the syntax wrong, your site may not load.

great, thanks for this, will check it out. Much appreciated!
