To force all connections to use SSL create a blank text file (in the root folder) named .htaccess (with period at beginning) using the CPanel File Manager.
You may find the .htaccess file already exists in which case you can just add to it.
In this file paste the text below: (replace www.example.com with your domain)

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R,L]

Port 80 is the port used for all web traffic for web pages.
Files starting with a period are "invisible" files.
You may need to set the CPanel File Manager to show invisible files in the Settings button (top right).

Other Examples:

The code can be modified to pertain to a specific domain only:

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R,L]

Replace www.example.com with your info.

... or a specific folder only:

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} foldername
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/foldername/$1 [R,L]

Replace foldername and www.example.com/foldername with your info.
