seems like the forum is missing files after installing SSL?

any idea how to fix? perhaps uploading some file would help? ideas? thanks.

Doug Heffernan

Give repair_settings.php file a try to set the correct urls and paths.

Arantor

It's not missing files (almost certainly) but the files for the theme are still set to use HTTP and so won't be loaded over HTTPS. If you use repair-settings as mentioned, you should be able to fix the theme URLs to use HTTPS instead and then the theme will load.

you guys are awesome. that worked! thank you! :)

Also, you may want to go back through all your mods that may have settings pointing to specific directories independent of the system files as well, they will need to be adjusted too...

not sure if I have mods installed or what they are. been a while since I've messed with SMF. where do I find the mods at, in the admin area somewhere?

Bob Perry of Web Presence Consulting

Yes, in the admin section - Admin/Main/Package Manager
