Nicholas, the redirect is working but I didn't notice this before.
When it redirects (using those settings) it redirects to a URL like this (see how it is repeated)
http://poshusa.org/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&Itemid=124?option=com_chronocontact&Itemid=124
Any suggestions?
For the time being I am just doing an htaccess redirect like so:
redirect 301 /mothersday https://poshusa.org/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&Itemid=124
Secondly, I have put in this content into the Force SSL box.
index.php?option=com_chronocontact&Itemid=124
index.php?option=com_chronocontact&Itemid=125
I also tried with the full URL and with a / at the beginning
I want these pages to be SSL but it is not forcing it. Suggestions for this?
Here is what the htaccess looks like:
