I’ve been using Freeway (happily) for 14 years. Just this past month I migrated my ~430-page website to secure https. All went well, and the 301 redirect in my .htaccess has successfully moved all my pages over to https (sample link included below).
My question, which I never thought about before migrating to https: When I now create and upload a new page, is there something I need to do or add in Freeway to “make” that page https? Or does the upload to my host just read the 301 redirect in the .htaccess and automatically put the new page on the host in the https protocol?
Everything about Freeway is designed to be completely server-agnostic. All of the links that are created by Freeway are “relative” links, that don’t include the hostname or protocol. Because of the way that web browsers and servers cooperate on this point, anything that isn’t actually defined by the HTML gets “filled in” by the server and browser.

There is a “quicklink” - http://www.softpress.com - that is keeping my old http site from becoming a https site. I’m told all external links have to be https for the “Not Secure” notice to go away in the browser bar. How do I eliminate this link or edit it? Thanks.

Only links actually used in your site will be in that Edit URLs window. So the softpress.com one won’t there, unless you’ve specifically applied it to something. Have you got an example of the page in your site where this link is used? If so, and it’s not in the Edit URLs window, there’ll may a bug in Freeway somewhere stopping it from being shown (or it’s protected from editing). If that‘s the case, you will have to find the linked item in your Freeway document and manually edit the URL to use https instead of http
