 * Why do all my sites with woo say ” Your store does not appear to be using a secure
   connection. We highly recommend serving your entire website over an HTTPS connection
   to help keep customer data secure. ” yet they all have SSL with https set in 
   WP settings… Here is a site for example: [https://instablast.co](https://instablast.co)
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fhttps-message%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi there
 * I too was having the same issue. This is what I did to create the issue:
 * – Created domain in Plesk
    – Installed fresh copy of WP – Run ‘Let’s Encrypt’
   within Plesk to add a cert to the domain – Installed Woocommerce > Got false 
   positive error message – Updated URLs inSettings > General to https > Got false
   positive error message
 * * This is what I did to resolve the issue (after a lot of unit testing!!)
 * – Deactivate the Woocommerce plugin
    – Reactivate the plugin > No error message
 * I’m no expert but something triggers the error if you add an SSL cert domain 
   after installing WP. Fortunately the resolution in my case was quite simple.
 * Hope this helps someone.
 * Dave

 * [@davidandrew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidandrew/) Looks like this
   simple fix worked! Thanks.
 * The Woo team should look into it, so people don’t have to deactivate & activate
   just for the false error message to go away.

 * Hi there,
 * WooCommerce uses ‘is_ssl()’ to check the SSL certificate and that can sometime
   cause false-positives.
 * You can check a few more suggestions in [this GitHub issue](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/13921)
   and if the [SSL check](https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html) doesn’t return
   any errors – you can simply dismiss the message.
