How to enable a SSL (https) across WHMCS?

Depending on your web server, you should enforce this with .htaccess.

Create a new file in your WHMCS root called .htaccess and add the following lines of code:

## Moving to HTTPS ##

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on

# This checks to make sure the connection is not already HTTPS

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?YOURDOMAIN\.com$ [NC]

RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

If you already have .htaccess (likely) add the code at the bottom of the file after everything else. If you look inside the file and find that "RewriteEngine On" already exists, simply add the code without the directive, as such:

## Moving to HTTPS ##

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on

# This checks to make sure the connection is not already HTTPS

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?YOURDOMAIN\.com$ [NC]

RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Hello @Juthi khan

Please go to Setup > General Settings > WHMCS System URL and see your url to https://www.mywhmcs.com/folder/

In my experience @WHMCS ChrisD this works, but sometimes people are still directed to HTTP if it's not set in .htaccess. Is this not the case with 7.5 ?

Friendly URLs will override the .htaccess when you set them up.  V7 consolidated the System & Secure System SSL URL into one field to reduce this

Three lines in htaccess, at the top, not that hard to do
 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R]

No special rewrites needed, no modification of the URl needed, it just works

WHMCS v7 may have changed some things in v7, but it's still a good idea to have that in .htaccess
