    The site I am developing has had an SSL certificate added and I just tried to access the control panel using

    https://www.mysite.com/admin.php

    Unfortunately the control panel appeared with no styling. It appears fine with the following:

    http://www.mysite.com/admin.php

    So I am hoping there is a fix. My system folder is located one level about the public_html root just in case this has any bearing.

    Here are the settings from my General Configuration

    URL to the root directory of your site
    http://www.mysite.com/

    URL to your “themes” folder
    http://www.mysite.com/themes/

    Theme Folder Path
    /var/sites/r/mysite.com/public_html/themes/

    Default Control Panel Theme
    Default

    Ideally the control panel should work on both the following URLs:

    https://www.mysite.com/admin.php
    http://www.mysite.com/admin.php

    i.e with or without the https

    Any help much appreciated as always

    Hey Mediakitchen,

    This is a good question! There are a few tutorials out there that guide you through this process.

    I think you need to change the themes url to https and it will work.

    If it does not, please let me know and we can go from there.

    Cheers,
