 * For the record I’m using cloudflare origin certificate since, for some reason,
   I just got the Let’s Encrypt certificates “Added to queue”.
    Trying to enable
   the option “Enable HTTPS” with this plugin, but it only pops the message “Could
   not enable HTTPS”. HTTPS already works, just getting the “Your connection to 
   this site is not fully secure” because the images from my media gallery are being
   called with HTTP instead of HTTPS. I already deactivated Really Simple SSL as
   SG Optimizer said.

 * If you confirm I can configure your HTTPS to be forced correctly with our plugin.
   I think that you don’t need Really Simple SSL at all but some of its rules are
   causing the issue. Looking forward to your reply.

 * I’ve checked your certificates and confirmed that the LE one was issued. However,
   I can’t make changes to your account without a ticket (GDPR…) and request, so
   could you please try enabling the HTTP Force (plus the fix insecure content button).
   It should work now?

 * Good day!
 * just installed SG Optimizer one thing I noticed is when I try to Enable HTTPS
   from Environment Optimization this pops out:
 * _Force HTTPS
    In order to force HTTPS on your site, we will automatically update
   your database replacing all insecure links. In addition to that, we will add 
   a rule in your .htaccess file, forcing all requests to go through encrypted connection.
 * after confirming this HTTPS is enabled. but when i go back again in the environment
   optimization it automatically disables. this occurs also in the frontend optimization
   in all settings like minify html output and etc. all settings are disabled.
 * i installed Lets Encrypt SSL in all my websites under my account but did not 
   enabled the HTTPS enforce. i also enabled cloudflare cdn and enabled their option“
   Always Use HTTPS”.
 * how to fix this? what seems to be the problem? will i enable HTTPS enforce in
   the Lets Encrypt SSL? or will i also rename my wordpress home and site url to
   https from http?
 * hope you can help me on this problem.
 * thanks
