“Your Key and Certificate directories are not properly protected.” issue

    I am not professional, so I might not know what I am doing..

    At first, I tried to obtain SSL certificates using RSSSL, but couldn’t complete installation because my website is running on AWS Lightsail, which I have to install certificates manually.

    So, I deleted every file that RSSSL created when installing SSL and installed SSL using bncert-tool and it was activated successfully.

    However, RSSSL keep creates empty directories(.well-known, ##########) and keep shows me the warning.

    How do I make RSSSL stop making directories and warnings?

    This is because the plugin has completed the generation, which automatically sets an option “generated by RSSSL” to true. To reset this, you can add

    update_option( 'rsssl_le_certificate_generated_by_rsssl', true );

    to your functions.php. Then load your site. Then you can remove this line.

    The plugin now won’t load the Let’s Encrypt library anymore.

    It is still creating directories.

    Is it perhaps?:
    update_option( 'rsssl_le_certificate_generated_by_rsssl', false );

    So sorry… Yes, you are correct.

    Thanks. RSSSL is no longer creating directories,
    but it is still showing warning message “Your Key and Certificate directories are not properly protected.”

    Do I need to take extra action?

    You can remove that one by adding
    delete_option( 'rsssl_create_folders_in_root' );

    These will be added to a reset option soon, to allow an easy reset of these options. Thanks for taking the time to report the issue.
