Get the padlock on your site: where to buy or get a free certificate, how to install it, and when installation is covered by your support package.

Written by Team

In order to have your website through secure connection (https): 

Step 1. First you'll need to purchase the SSL certificate (or use free 90 days certificates).
We usually suggest SSL certificates from Godaddy

After you get the certificate, you'll need to generate it and install it. Here is Godaddy's guide using cPanel: https://godaddy.com/help/installing-third-party-ssls-on-cpanel-accounts-12027

Step 2. When the certificate is successfully installed: in the root folder -> config.php
Find define("SITE_SERVER", "http://sitename,com/");
and change it to define("SITE_SERVER", "https://sitename,com/");

Then in the .htaccess file add redirect from http to https right after RewriteEngine on:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

FAQ

I wish to purchase a 3rd party SSL certificate. Once I purchase it how do I incorporate it into the dating website hosted at Dating Pro?

We will do this as part of the included SLA 2 - SLA 4 in the Pro plan. You will need to provide access to your hosting for us to install the platform.
