 * Hey,
 * My host provider ensured there is a SSL certificate installed.
    Problem is that
   it’s not detected by your plugin. When testing trough your [https://mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/really-simple-ssl/ssl-test-page.php](https://mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/really-simple-ssl/ssl-test-page.php)
 * I see the green lick in the browser bar altough it says #NO KNOWN SSL CONFIGURATION
   DETECTED#
 * Any idea what I should do?
 * Thanks!

 * In your case, the ssl test page should load successfully within the plugin, so
   the plugin should detect ssl, even though the configuration is not recognized.
   If the plugin does not load the test page successfully, something else might 
   be the matter. Could you send me your debug log? [https://really-simple-ssl.com/contact](https://really-simple-ssl.com/contact)

 * Hello and Happy New Year!
 * I have the exact same problem… it was working perfectly a few days ago.
    Tonight,
   I tried to install it in another website but the plugging gives an error that
   reads:
 * “”No SSL was detected. If you are just waiting for your ssl certificate to kick
   in you can dismiss this warning.””
 * When I click the debug tab, this is what comes up:
 * “”To view results here, enable the debug option in the settings tab.””
 * Where are the debug settings to get the debug log?
    Under configuration it simply
   reads: “error No SSL detected. “
 * Thank you so much for your assistance!

 * There is a settings tab, where you can enable debug. Let me know what it says.

 * For some reason the plugin gets a forbidden error.
 * It might be that the security settings do not allow access to plugin folders.
 * What do you see if you access this page directly (replace yourdomain.com with
   the correct domain)?

 * Ok I see, I will try tweaking the settings a bit,
 * This is what I see:
 * SSL test page
 * This page is used purely to test for ssl availability.

 * I see I made a mistake: you have to use https to see correctly test ssl on your
   site. Use (with https instead of http):

 * Oh no worries.
 * This looks better:

 * As the configuration didn’t work, you’ll have to do it manually. Based on the
   test page, you can turn on force ssl in the settings.
 * Then you can add
 *     ```
       RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
       RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
       ```
   
 * To your .htaccess

 * Great! I will try that.
    Thank you so much Rogler! I appreciate your time.
