I have a valid SSL Certificate for my website but the padlock on the address bar is not showing up to show it's a secure site, the only time it shows up is when checkout is used.
I would obviously like my website to show as being secure for customers peace of mind.
I was told by my web host that I could make my site secure with an Opencart plug in or secure it via my htaccess file.
Could someone give me advice on this please?
Thank you
Jackie

And here, you will find some extensions for this too:
https://www.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... search=SSL
https://www.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... load_id=44

And if you don't have much knowledge on such, one of the DEV's would probably
assist you on this, for the equivalent of a Steak and a Beer!

I did all that you mentioned and it looks like all my pages are now starting with Https which is what I wanted. The only thing that isn't showing up in the padlock sign on the address bar. Do you know why this wouldn't show up??
Thanks

After posting here, I did find the "whynopadlock" website and checked my site. Errors came up about the font in my css and unsecure image urls. These are the errors
Hard Failure A file with an insecure url of "http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lobster+Two" was loaded on line: 23 of https://www.little-you.co.uk/.
This URL will need to be updated to use a secure URL for your padlock to return.
Soft Failure An image with an insecure url of "http://www.little-you.co.uk/image/catal ... 0LOGO4.png" was loaded on line: 146 of https://www.little-you.co.uk/.
This URL will need to be updated to use a secure URL for your padlock to return.
Soft Failure An image with an insecure url of "http://www.little-you.co.uk/catalog/vie ... HighSt.jpg" was loaded on line: 801 of https://www.little-you.co.uk/.
This URL will need to be updated to use a secure URL for your padlock to return.
Protocols You currently have TLSv1 enabled.
This version of TLS is being phased out. This warning won't break your padlock, however if you run an eCommerce site, PCI requirements state that TLSv1 must be disabled by June 30, 2018.
1) Contact your hosting company to disable TLSv1.1 and make sure TLSv1.2 is enabled
2) Manually correct any links in your header.tpl and footer.tpl files to change any instances of http:// to https://
3) In your config.php and admin/config.php files, do you have the 's' added in both the HTTP and HTTPS sections?

Thank you for your advice and help.
I had done all that you suggested and I am still getting errors, so there must be insecure parts of my site, which could be anywhere, so I shall download an extension which will hopefully help.
Thanks again
Jackie
I don't think you need to purchase an extension for this.
If you open up catalog/view/theme/your_theme/template/common/header.tpl, you'll find the following links that need to be changed to https
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lobster+Two' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<a href="https://www.little-you.co.uk/index.php? ... home"><img src="http://www.little-you.co.uk/image/catalog/Home slidewhow banners/NEW LOGO4.png" width="500" height="200" title="Personalised Gifts - www.little-you.co.uk" alt="Personalised Gifts - www.little-you.co.uk" class="img-responsive"/></a>
In catalog/view/theme/your_theme/template/common/footer.tpl, change the following to https:
<div class="column-contacts footer-menu-mobile"><h5><a href="http://www.little-you.co.uk/index.php?r ... t">Contact Us</a></h5></div>
<img src="http://www.little-you.co.uk/catalog/vie ... "></a></li>

I've changed all of the http to https in my header.tpl and Footer.tpl and still nothing has changed.
I have since purchased an extension that changes all the unsecure links and my site is now HTTPS all through, but I'm still without the padlock and getting the same errors on the "whynopadlock.com" website.
So I'm not happy and have sent a message to the support of the Extension Developer and will see what happens.
And of course, there's always the stupid facepalm mistake of not clearing your browser cache or otherwise forcing a fresh reload of a page (often Ctrl+F5) so you aren't using old cached code or files. If your server or ISP is doing caching, you may just have to wait them out.
Thank you for your reply and explanation.
Since then, it's been sorted out by the developer of the extension that I got.
The cache problem was mentioned in sorting it out too, although I'm not 100% sure if that was the reason, I shall find out
Thank you again
Jackie
Either way, I'm glad you've got your site running over https now.

Exttension, enabling me, to remove ALL cached content with a click of one
single button. But since I don't, I am not able to test both of those, linked below.
Or even two buttons could be accepted, if they would exist on the same page...
And the image below just misses VqMod, to then probably match all my needs ...
