    When going through the setup process I get this error on the last item as it goes through the setup checkoff list:

    It is not possible to install Let’s Encrypt on a subfolder configuration. For more information on this subject, please read this article

    I have no idea what this means or what to do!

    Hi @calmcoolandchaos,

    It is not possible to install SSL on a subfolder (eg. domain.com/subfolder). Instead the SSL certificate should be installed on the root domain (eg. domain.com) to prevent any misconfigurations. Once the root domain has an SSL certificate the subfolder will be secured as well. If your main domain uses WordPress you can use Really Simple SSL to generate an SSL certificate there. Otherwise we recommend to contact your hosting provider for an SSL certificate.

    After installing an SSL certificate you can activate and enforce SSL on the subfolder installation with Really Simple SSL.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.
