On a website I use:
- CMSMS 2.2.3.1
- CGExtensions
- CMSMailer
- FormBuilder
- News
- Search

In .htaccess I have:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

I did not check the checkbox "Use HTTPS" on any page and there is no mixed content. It seems that everything works fine.

Q: is it required to check the "Use HTTPS"?

No, and in fact it's best not to. I think it's going to be deprecated/removed in a future release.

It was leftover from when it was normal to have an http site, but perhaps one or two pages with forms on to be https. Because certificates are easy and free/cheap now, there's no reason to not have your entire site https, so this setting is no longer relevant.

Thanks for your reply. I leave all https checkboxes unchecked as you explained. Question solved.
