To protect yourself and your members, Wild Apricot will be requiring traffic encryption for all our client sites. This means that all site pages and all page content must use URLs that begin with HTTPs rather than HTTP.Traffic encryption is a method of securing the transmission of information to and from a website.You don't have to do anything about this if you are:using wildapricot.org as your site domainyou are using a custom domain with a security certificate and have set your traffic encryption option to AlwaysIf the Traffic encryption option is not available under Website on your Settings screen, it's because your traffic encryption is already set to Always.However, action is required if you are:using a custom domain without a security certificateusing a custom domain with a security certificate but you haven't set your encryption option to Alwaysusing links or displaying content that starts with HTTP rather than HTTPSIf you using a custom domain without a security certificateYou need to obtain a custom security certificate (aka SSL certificate) for your domain. After that, you can set your traffic encryption to Always so that all traffic to your site is encrypted and secure. For instructions on ordering a free security certificate from Let's Encrypt, click here.If you don't have a security certificate installed for your custom domain by December 1, 2022, we'll automatically issue you a certificate from Let's Encrypt.If you are using a secured custom domain but haven't set your encryption option to AlwaysYou need to go to the Traffic encryption screen and select the Always option. For instructions, click here.If the Traffic encryption option is not available under Website on your Settings screen, it's because your traffic encryption is already set to Always.If you don't set your traffic encryption to Always by December 1, 2022, we'll make the change automatically for you.If you are displaying or linking to content using HTTPYou need to review the links, images, and other content in your site and make that their URLs begin with HTTPS rather than HTTP. If they begin with HTTP, change the URL to HTTPS.Content that begins with HTTP may not load when the page is loaded using HTTPS. Here's one simple way to test whether you have content that uses HTTP: enter your site URL starting with HTTPS rather than HTTP in the address bar of your browser then see what content doesn't load and which links don't work. That way, you'll know where to begin making changes.
