You do not have SSL enabled?

I have this notice

NOTE: You do not have SSL enabled. File contents you view from this page will not be encrypted and could present a security risk.

But everything is enabled and my SSL is enabled site here.

Re: You do not have SSL enabled?

On what page (the complete URL) are you getting that message?

Re: You do not have SSL enabled?

There are 5 or more instances of external http:// calls on your main page. They need to be changed to https://

Examples are your social media icons in the footer. You need to fix that in Admin > Tools > Flexible Footer menu. Once you have done that, check for further errors.

BTW, those links are still pointing to the template author's pages.

Good suggestion/advice, but this would have nothing to do with the error message or the error being reported.

The issues you are pointing out would be reported as 'insecure content' (which isn't something I'm seeing on the OP's site. In fact all the links appear to be secure)

The Error message:
"You do not have SSL enabled. File contents you view from this page will not be encrypted and could present a security risk"

returns just two results from a Google search - One being this thread - The other being to sourceforge
http://sourceforge.net/p/zencart-german/svn/1024/ where it is found in the file

/admin/includes/languages/english/display_logs.php

So this implies the OP has installed this module https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1583, and it is while using this admin tool where the "You do not have SSL enabled". is being displayed.

There may be other places in the admin that could display similar text (such as DrBytes MySQL backup module), but the important thing to note is that this error message has nothing to do with any web browser reporting of SSL issues, and technically it isn't an SSL issue as such.

It is a check performed and reported by ZenCart itself, with no other external factors.

I'd even go as far to say that this warning can be ignored as only the admin will ever see it.

Re: You do not have SSL enabled?

And adding to RodG's post, that plugin advises:

NOTE: Due to the potentially sensitive nature of the information contained in some of the log files, I suggest that you run your admin in SSL mode if you use this plugin.

DrByte's plugin https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=7 would also throw that error in admin if the entire admin was not running in SSL mode.

I will check all this when I can get back on my site. Something is stopping me entering the admin side.

Right I have got back in. To answer your question 'Display Debug Log Files'

Just as I suspected :-)

To get rid of this warning you need to set your site so that all admin functions are SSL enabled.

I *think* that by default, when ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN is set to true (via the admin/includes/configure.php settings) it is only the login that is encrypted. To enable the entire admin for SSL you'll need to change the "http server" setting from 'http://yoursite.com" to "https://yoursite.com".

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong :-)

Correct. And this is explained inside the admin configure.php file.
