    Does anyone know of a step-by-step how-to instructional to install an SSL certificate to my WordPress Website? I am using the latest version of WordPress with a BlogStyle theme.

    Hi

    I am using the latest version of WordPress with the Blogstyle theme. I currently have my site on my Raspberry PI 3 locally (localhost – I think). Let me know if you need any more information.

    Yes, if you are hosting on the Internet.

    I currently have my site on my Raspberry PI 3 locally (localhost – I think).

    No. 😉

    Real HTTPS certificates require a real DNS entry that is resolvable on the Internet. A localhost installation is not that.

    Give this a read, you can install a certificate on localhost but it’s a little complicated.

    Once you get that certificate on your Raspberry Pi 3 then you will need to explicitly trust it with your browser. Then it should work for you.

    No but although if you want then you can obtain self-signed certificate 😉

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I will take a look at the letsencrypt link to see just how complicated it is. In the meantime, how to I go about getting self-signed certificate?
