To ensure that the secure page is always displayed, you should select the option 'Force SSL' (if your web host offers this option). If this is not possible, you need an .htaccess file in your web space. You can create this file with notepad.exe and enter the following lines:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on

RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R= 301]

Then save the file and change the name to .htaccess with the Windows Explorer, whereby the dot must be in front of the file name. Copy this file into the root directory of the respective web space, i.e. where you also export the project with WebsiteX5.

Hi David,

Franz-Josef comment is correct under the condition, that in your hosting package a SSL certificate is included. Especially with US hoster you have to buy it as an option to your hosting package. You need that certificate installed on your website to enable a https session, otherwise Google decided to show http access always as insecure in their browser engine.

His site has a certificate, which of course I checked beforehand. If you enter https://246association.org/ the secure page will be shown.

Hi,

 Please see attached pictures.

1. Preview of website home page.

2. Publish website

3. Page that appears online after I publish.

 Thank you for any help.

The picture is very blurry and nothing can be seen.
I assume that you used to have an intro page and that is why there is still an index.php file on your web space. You have to delete the index.php, then it should work again.

If it doesn't work, maybe you can upload better pictures of the problem. But please answer also the following questions:

1. Is 246association.org the name of the domain?
2. Did you perform the action described above in the first reply to your problem description?
3. What happens when you enter 246associiation.org?
4. Does the page display correctly when you type https://246association.org/?
   
   

Hi,

 My website is back working again.

But I can get rid of the entry page. I have set the entry page to jump to home page after 1 second.

 Please see attachment.

 Thanks again.

 Regards,

 David

- can't -

If there should be no intro page, then under "1 Settings" and under "Intro page" click the switch so that it is on the left and shows an X.

Then click on "Preview" while holding down the left Ctrl key and wait until the green progress bar has run through completely. Then upload the website completely.

Now click on "5 Export" and on the right of the input field for "Target directory" click on the folder symbol with a globe, then the FTP window will open and delete the index.php file here, if it still exists.
