   I would like to secure the forms on a website using Contact Form 7 via HTTPS (SSL). Is this possible or where might I go to hack the code to make the forms submit as HTTPS?

   Yes, it's possible. You don't need any hacks or customizations for Contact Form 7. Just add 's' into the URL.

   Thanks for the reply but how and where can that be done? Is there a file or setting somewhere that allows me to force https:// when the forms are visited?

   I have the same Problem and i hope someboddy will post a short discription hov to setup a "Contact Form 7"-Form with SSL.

   I guess the Hosting-Provider gives you a URL and this URL goes somewehre into the Settings from Contact Form 7.

   THANK YOU for all replys.

   It seems like it would be an easy thing to do. I have "rigged" my site (www.ticocreditofhickory.com) to now use HTTPS but it does the whole site as HTTPS once you click any of the links within the site. It took a bit of trial and error to get to that point.

   I know that there should be a file with CF 7 that the https://domain can be specified on the <form> tag. But where.

   Hi dytekllc,
   this is better than nothing. Does the overall ssl (after someone klicked on a link) produce any problems?

   I think it does work fine at that point. I am not sure why there is not an easier method to accomplish this. Nearly every Plugin I have tried bombs or has some bad behavior tied to it.
