Will SSL interfere with form?

Permalink
I'm looking at installing a PositiveSSL certificate from Comodo to my 5.6.3 site. Its primarily to encrypt data from a Proforms form that was discontinued quite a while ago as the developer just gave up on it, but still works OK.

Is there any likelihood an SSL certificate would break the form?

The SSL Certificate shouldn't break any forms on your website, however you might have to adjust the theme if you have links to any non-secure assets (fonts/css/js/etc.)

OK - I was thinking of having just the form as SSL using the Force SSL plugin. What effect will that have on links and links to assets? I'm not entirely sure how things works with Force SSL. Considering CMS manages all links automatically I'm not sure I can do or it does in that space.

The Force SSL plugin should work fine, it just confirms that if the page is set to Force SSL that it redirects to SSL and if it's not that it redirects to Non-SSL (I believe) but you will have to double check your assets as I mentioned before, because those aren't handled by the CMS, they're usually coded into the theme files.

OK thanks for that info
