Ok, so I purchased a Positive SSL certificate from my hosting company (hostgator) for cheapsheetmusic.com I changed the config.php files in both my admin and includes directories, where everything hppts shows "true" Once I did that I was able to type in https://www.cheapsheetmusic.com and it shows that the site is secure.

The last step was to modify the htaccess file so it automatically redirects to the https url. But once that was done, the website will only redirect to the main page, no matter what link I click on. Here's what I added to the htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.cheapsheetmusic.com/$1 [R=301,L]

My htaccess file also has a lot of rewrite info from the CEON URI app and I'm not sure if that is where I need to be looking ?

One thing I read about shared hosting is that I may need somewhere to designate the actual shared location of my website, and not the cheapsheetmusic.com designation ?

Any suggestions are really appreciated.
