Hi, there!!

I have issue related to https and http.

1) I have hosted my website on godaddy. I do not have SSL or HTTPS enbled on my server. And my website is not opening up. it shows that “connection is not secure”. Although, i am able to see front-end part but i am not able to open my back-end(admin) part. when i try to open admin panel it shows me the error “connection is not secure”.

Now strange point is:

2) I have another hosting server with bluehost which only works on http. there is no https or SSL enbled. But in that hosting i am fully able to open both part(front-end and back-end) of my website.

Question:1) why i am facing this problem?
2) should i buy SSL certification to solve this problem??
3) does newspaper theme works fine for both protocol??

I hope i would get suitable help to solve this issue.

Awaiting for the right solution.
Thank you.

Newspaper works fine with both and has nothing to do with the TLS/HTTPS setting on your web host.

It’s possible there is something in theme trying to load via https. When trying to login to your site, does it show http in top bar when you’re logged in ?

Also possible GoDaddy may be started to enable the new free https for sites and didn’t tell you — but that is unlikely (yet), but something to watch out for 😉

Also, fyi, SSL is obsolete, so think in terms of “https” and not “SSL” moving forward. SSL is actually not secure, and has never been, was replaced by TLS, and the first two versions of that were/are not secure either.

I keep saying “SSL” too, and have to stop myself!

Not sure any of that helps… just some feedback.
