I recently updated my website which is Forum for Family Planning and Development Inc. (forumforfp.org) - https://forumforfp.org my problem is it won't show the updates unless I type it with https://forumforfp.org/index.html
How do i make it a default that whats in https://forumforfp.org/index.html is the same with https://forumforfp.org
The new update is the BOARD OF TRUSTEES. FYI.

You must delete the index.php file on the web space.
----- WebSite X5 ------
5 Export > Export the website to the web
Target directory: ______________ [/] <--- Click on the symbol
--------------------------
The FTP window opens, mark the index.php file here and click on the red X at the top, then confirm with OK.
Sorry - wrong, there is no index.php

any idea how to?
Both links show the same content for me.
What did the wrong page show?
Paolo, it sounds like the local web cache was showing old content. CTRL+F5 should fix it (or try a browser you do not normally use)

The + is not showing even if i deleted it plenty of time and uploaded and renamed it with the Oscar Lopez
I see no difference there.

However, you have an SSL certificate and your page appears correctly with the security icon after entering https://forumforfp.org
But you have not entered the url with https in the 'URL of the website' field in WebsiteX5 in step 5 'Export', selection 'Export the website to the Internet'. You still have to adjust this and then click on the preview button while holding down the Ctrl key and wait until the progress bar has run through completely. Then clean your webspaace and upload the entire project, not just the changes.
In addition, you should ensure that your website is always redirected to the secure https site. If your web host does not have a way to force the redirect to the https page, you must create an .htaccess file yourself or add to an existing htaccess file. To do this, use the Windows Notepad to create a file with the following content:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Save this as htaccess.txt, for example. Then rename it to .htaccess (yes, the dot has to be in front) and load it into your server directory (where you upload your homepage). This means that every call to your site is automatically directed to the https site.

so i will type in notepad
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
then save the file as .htaccessas its file name?
Yes, the three lines are right, but the file is Namen
.htaccess
And You have to put it in the same directory where you load the project.
