Problems installing 1.7.6.1 Force SSL HTTPS does not work for backend admin

And (for the third time), the installation went well as far as unpacking and creating database and connecting to the database (pretty standard for any php installation), and was able to login to the admin backend.

This was the third installation issue that I came across:

PROBLEM:
The next issue I have is that, even with the Enable SSL on all page set to yes, the backend Admin area will still allow you to login using plain HTTP. It does show you a warning at the top of the login screen, but this again seems to be a bug. It should just automatically redirect to HTTPS.

SOLUTION:
I have not yet found the solution to force HTTPS on the backend admin login or to force SSL use on all backend admin pages. I have the bookmarked link to admin backend with https which should prevent me from accidentally using HTTP but there should be an option to ENABLE SSL ON ALL BACKEND ADMIN PAGES.

Okay so I was advised that possibly the issue is related to me using PHP v7.3.8 since v1.7.6 of Prestashop is only compatible up to PHP v7.2.

v1.7.7 of Prestashop will be compatible with PHP 7.3
