    At the moment my website is not secure.

    How do I give it an SSL, i.e. make it https:// rather than http:// ?

    Thanks!

  • You would first need to obtain a valid SSL certificate.
    Your host may charge for this, or you may able to use their hosting panel to obtain one for free via Auto SSL / Let’s Encrypt / similar.

    Once you have a valid SSL certificate, you can use one of these plugins:

    Thanks. SSL enabled in my host’s Control Panel and plugin succesfully installed and activated.

    Now my site is https:// 🙂

    How do I get and display my SSL Certifiate?

    Your site loads when I visit it over https://
    The SSL certificate is displayed by the user’s browser – you don’t display it somewhere on your site.
    Consider installing an SSL plugin – alternatively you would need to edit your .htaccess / whichever file your rewrite rules are located in (that would depend on your host) to force SSL for your site.

    Hi, I did install an SSL plugin.

    Great that it loads over https:// at your end.

    I have now downloaded a Cert File, Key File and CA File from the developer of the SSL plugin, WP Encryption.

    What do I need to do with them, please?
