SSL Question to Protect Joomla Site
Greetings,
I have learned that forms on my websites need to be secure, meaning, I should force SSL to those pages where I am gathering data from anyone. I also learned that I should force the admin areas to be SSL secure which I am doing.

There is a module on the right with a form on many pages that asks people to sign up and get a free video.

I went to the main menu and selected the link to the home page and enabled SSL. I purged the cached and purged the expired cache. I navigated to another page on the site and refreshed it holding the shift key down and then went to the home page. Shouldn't it say https?

I want to start doing this for all my clients so that any forms are on https pages.

I looked at the custom HTML module that holds the form and there was no way I could see to make it secure.

so I'm looking for help making specific articles, menu items, and modules secure on my site.

thanks,
