Hi everyone,

I followed the instructions from this [blog post](https://blog.realmacsoftware.com/how-to-add-https-to-your-rapidweaver-site/), but I’m still getting browser errors.

Does anyone know why I’m still getting errors?

Examples: [thesimplersite.com](http://thesimplersite.com), [richmondchildcare.org](http://richmondchildcare.org)

Works fine for me if you go to the https site. You will want to setup a redirect from http to https. You can do this in Cloudflare page rules or via your htaccess file.

What error message are you getting?  
You do have to specify https [https://thesimplersite.com](https://thesimplersite.com)  
As Joe mentioned you need to add redirects to force https:

I’ve already set up the page rules in CloudFlare, but they don’t seem to be working…

I’ve looked at it in Safari, Chrome and Firefox (all for Mac) and Chrome for android and I can’t see any browser errors.

They definitely aren’t working. Double check the rules and then screen shots if you’re still having issues.

I appreciate all of your help, everyone!

Here’s a screenshot of my Cloudflare settings

Try removing the dot `.` between the `http://*` and the domain name.

It looks like things are working now…I guess I just had to wait a bit until all the changes trickled down through the internet. Thanks for the input everyone!
