Hi,
I´ve configured my shop instance* to 'Use Secure URLs in Frontend' (Config -> Web) and the 'Secure Base Url' (Config -> Web) is also set to 'https://domain.tld/'.
Unfortunately there remain a lot of links e.g. in the Main Category Menu and in all blocks using the variable {{store url="page"}} pointing to the 'Unsecure Base Url'. Are there any other configurations besides 'Use Secure URLs in Frontend -> Yes' to force the Magento Frontend to the unexceptional use of https-Urls?
* Magento CE 1.9.1.0
If you're trying to make the whole site use SSL, set the "Unsecure URL" to be https://xxx , and this will force Magento use SSL for all pages, links, etc...
I'm having the same issue than kempermusic, I changed the code according to your suggestion and it didn't solve, I have an instance with 3 stores and 3 different domains, also my instance domain is different to the other free I have parked in it, when i change my Unsecure URL, it just go once and over to a many redirect err. Do you have any idea about what is happening here??
So my
Unsecure URL: http://www.xxx.com
Secure URL: https://yyy.com
So is this a confirmed bug (couldn't find anything) or a feature?
My solution was to extend the .htaccess with the following lines:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
EDIT: I cheered to soon Unfortunately this rule is redirecting the category links to the homepage.
