    I recently got this notification from a subscriber. I'm wondering if there is any aMember setting (or lack thereof) that might be causing it?



    Thanks.

    To get the lock, you need to install SSL.

    Hi, I've just done this. You need to:

    1. Talk to your webhost and ask to purchase an SSL certificate for the domain you want to secure with https - be careful, if you purchase an SSL certificate for a subdomain, e.g. members.yoursite.com and decide you want to host your site under yoursite.com/members, the SSL sometimes is not transferable and you'll need to buy a new one. I did.

    2. Make sure in the Admin CP, under Setup/configuration > Root URL and License Keys > Secure Root URL it is showing the correct URL (for example https://yourwebsite.com/amember). I think this is automatic, but just check.

    3. Make a couple of changes to your .htaccess file in the Amember directory, which you can read about here - http://www.amember.com/forum/threads/how-to-enable-ssl-all-over-amember-pages.17100/. This forces all the Amember pages (signup, login etc) to redirect to the https (secure) version.

    4. If you're using the Wordpress integration, you may want to install the Wordpress HTTPS plugin which forces all the Wordpress internal links etc to use https too

    Hope that helps!
