 * I made a page and clicked the Secure Post button but when I try to preview the
   page I get “Safari can’t open the page.
    Safari can’t open the page “https://
   healingheroesministries.org/?page_id=195” because Safari can’t establish a secure
   connection to the server “healingheroesministries.org”.”
 * I probably need some basic training. Any help you can give would be much appreciated!

 * Have you purchased an SSL certificate and set it up for that website?

 * Yes, that is the first thing I did.

 * Well, all I can really say is that it’s not set up correctly. I can’t offer much
   more guidance than that. Perhaps talk to your hosting provider.

 * Hi,
 * IMHO some option ‘secure previews’ would be nice. I have SSL tapped to subdomain
   and when I’m trying to preview something the page isn’t there (404).
 * It might be some caching issue (I’m using reverse proxies) or issue with securing
   administrative pages, but it helps setting ‘Secure post’ checkbox and then viewing
   the preview. So I thought such option would be nice thing — an option that would
   force previews to be served with HTTPS.
 * Regards,
    paweł

 * Thanks. I found out I had to wait 24 hours for the SSL to activate. It’s working
   now.
