Hello,

I want to use "Let's encrypt" for my forum. Can I just set it up and change the forum address to https?
Is there anything to know beforehand? Does this also apply to 2.0.x ?

Well, you have to change the URL in several places,  not just the base URL. You also should implement a force to https in htaccess

Please do not PM, IM or Email me with support questions.  You will get better and faster responses in the support boards.  Thank you.

Thanks for the reply. I have repair_settings.php, I'll use that to change all URLs.
