Bonjour, Est il possible de se passer de plugin (j'utilise WP force SSL) pour passer en Https ? J'ai modifié le fichier .htaccess, avec ce tutoriel : https://[domaine masqué]/wordpress-force-https/ Mais ça ne fonctionne pas. Cordialement.

Bonjour, merci de votre retour.

Il est effectivement possible de passer en HTTPS sans utiliser de plugin, en utilisant un certificat SSL gratuit. Pour activer un certificat SSL gratuit sur le LWS Panel, voici les étapes à suivre :

  1. Connectez-vous à votre hébergement LWS via le LWS Panel.

  2. Cliquez sur l'onglet "SSL" dans le menu de gauche.

  3. Cliquez sur le bouton "Ajouter un certificat gratuit" pour installer un certificat Let's Encrypt.

  4. Sélectionnez le domaine pour lequel vous souhaitez installer le certificat SSL.

  5. Cliquez sur "Valider" pour installer le certificat.

  6. Une fois le certificat installé, vous pouvez activer la redirection automatique vers HTTPS en suivant les étapes décrites dans la documentation que je vous ai donnée précédemment.

Il est important de noter que cette méthode ne garantit pas une compatibilité avec tous les thèmes ou plugins, il est donc important de vérifier que tout fonctionne correctement après l'installation du certificat SSL et l'activation de la redirection HTTPS.

N'hésitez pas à consulter notre documentation pour plus d'informations sur l'installation et la configuration de certificats SSL sur LWS Panel : https://aide.lws.fr/a/595

Nous restons à votre disposition via notre service de support client pour toutes demandes supplémentaires. (https://aide.lws.fr/a/268)
