I’ve just installed a new security certificate on my website and so, using the .htacess file, I made it so that visitors are redirected to the HTTPS version of the site. Only issue now, is that my entire site looks broken/incomplete and different from the un-secure (HTTP) version of it. I know that I have to make sure all the resources are using HTTPS rather than HTTP to make sure the browser doesn’t block them from appearing but in RapidWeaver, I don’t know how to do that. My general & publishing settings are fine and updated but after uploading, the site is still, as I said, broken/incomplete and different from the un-secure (HTTP) version of it. Any help would be amazing. I’ve been learning as I go with building this website and everything and i’m getting so far. I feel like this is the final boss of my issues lol. So thank you in advance to everyone who tries to assist me. [FlytheTheGenius.com](http://FlytheTheGenius.com) ---

Not sure what’s broken. Don’t know what it looked like before you forced https. I put the home page `http://flythethegenius.com/` through whynopadlock and it came back all okay. [https://www.whynopadlock.com/results/8b14bf45-4fd5-4233-ace2-353f694439ea](https://www.whynopadlock.com/results/8b14bf45-4fd5-4233-ace2-353f694439ea) Did you try clearing your browser cache? Or try a different browser or device. ---

Yeahh, everything comes up fine as far as the test results but the design of my website is almost completely different/ destroyed. I’ve attached an image of what it should look like… ![57%20PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/1/1/119eefab7f0c070215a159a1e65cdf47fd65d621.jpeg) | Comparing that to the HTTPS version of the site, there’s something wrong. ---

Have you tried a “Republish All Files” for the File menu? Did you recently setup redirects to force SSL? ---

I have tried to Republish all files (a couple times). My guess is that some of the files are publishing to HTTP and not HTTPS. But, yes, I did just recently setup redirects to force SSL. That’s when it changed. ---

You probably need to contact your web host. On most of the sites, http and https serve from the same directory, so the files should be the same. ---

Ahh okay. Yeah, I was thinking that. I was going to contact them but the wait time is like an hour so i wanted to be sure before I waited for them to connect and reply. Okay, I’ll contact them and see what they say. ---

I see that you are using Cloudflare. Have you cleared cache there? Or put it in dev mode? ---

Scratch that… it looks like its just the theme loading the JS from the Cloudflare CDN. ---

Well, I don’t know if maybe [SSLS.com](http://SSLS.com) is using Cloudflare but I purchased my SSL Certificate through [SSLS.com](http://SSLS.com) because I didn’t learn of cloudflare until after I had already purchased and set up the certificate. ---

Turn off the redirect so that we can see both versions online. ---
