Having a few issues getting things to work after changing wordpress from http to https on a windows sever. The web.config file is a bit of a mare to work with and the hosting company seems to think that changing http to https in wordpress settings is the only change necessary. currently I can only get the site to load css/js files on any pages other than the homepage by using default permalinks. and when I try adding http to https redirects in the web-config it causes even more problems. I've exhausted google so any advice appreciated.

hi, yes that's already in my wp-config file - the issue I think is having to use web.config rather than htaccess– steve555555555555Commented Jul 21, 2016 at 9:57

for anyone interested the hosting company is going to convert wp install to linux so that should sort things.
found this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/really-simple-ssl/ which could be good for anyone having issues on linux.
Put this in your web.config:
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="HTTP to HTTPS redirect" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" ignoreCase="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}"
redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
</rules>
<outboundRules>
<rule name="Add Strict-Transport-Security when HTTPS" enabled="true">
<match serverVariable="RESPONSE_Strict_Transport_Security"
pattern=".*" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="on" ignoreCase="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" value="max-age=31536000" />
</rule>
</outboundRules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
