SSL hace que su sitio web sea seguro, pero muchos propietarios de sitios web se encuentran con dificultades inesperadas al migrar sus sitios WordPress a SSL o al añadir un certificado SSL a un sitio existente.
Durante los años que hemos estado ayudando a la gente con sus sitios de WordPress, hemos visto y corregido muchos problemas de SSL que van desde advertencias de contenido mixto a problemas de acceso.
Esta guía le mostrará cómo corregir los problemas SSL más comunes en WordPress.
¿Qué es SSL/HTTPS y por qué debería empezar a utilizarlo ahora mismo?
SSL es la abreviatura de Secure Sockets Layers, una tecnología de cifrado que crea una conexión segura entre el navegador / explorador del usuario y su servidor de alojamiento WordPress.
Una vez que active SSL, su sitio web utilizará HTTPS en lugar de HTTP. También verá un candado o un signo de “sintonía” junto a la dirección de su sitio web en el navegador para indicar que es seguro.
SSL/HTTPS dificulta a los piratas informáticos la escucha de la conexión. Cada sitio activado /TTPS SSL se emite un certificado SSL único para fines de identificación.
Si un servidor solo pretende estar en HTTPS y su certificado no coincide, la mayoría de los navegadores modernos advertirán al usuario de que no se conecte al sitio web.
Google recomienda a todos los propietarios de sitios web que utilicen SSL/HTTPS para mejorar la seguridad general de la web.
Por eso Chrome marca todos los sitios web sin certificado SSL como “No seguros”.
La etiqueta “No seguro” en la barra de direcciones del navegador da una mala impresión a sus clientes acerca de su negocio. Minientrada en eso, también necesita SSL/HTTPS activado si desea iniciar una tienda en línea o utilizar servicios de pago como PayPal, Stripe y Authorize.Net.
Teniendo en cuenta los pros y los contras, todos los sitios web WordPress necesitan cambiar a SSL/HTTPS.
Si aún no lo ha hecho, puede leer nuestra guía sobre cómo pasar correctamente WordPress de HTTP a HTTPS para obtener instrucciones paso a paso.
Recomendado: Marque / compruebe nuestra guía sobre cómo obtener un certificado SSL gratuito o compre un certificado SSL con descuento en Domain.com.
Sin embargo, es posible que se encuentre con algunos errores de WordPress con su certificado SSL. Veamos algunos de los problemas más comunes con SSL/HTTPS en WordPress y cómo corregirlos:
1. Corrección del error NET::ERR_CERT_INVALID
El mensaje de error NET::ERR_CERT_INVALID aparece en Google Chrome. Otros navegadores muestran un mensaje ligeramente diferente, pero básicamente advierte a los usuarios de que su conexión a su sitio web es insegura.
Este mensaje de error SSL indica que el navegador / explorador del usuario no ha aceptado el certificado presentado por el sitio web. Esto puede deberse a varias razones:
- El certificado SSL se ha emitido para un nombre de dominio o subdominio diferente.
- El certificado ha caducado.
- Su navegador no reconoce la autoridad emisora del certificado.
Si ha adquirido un certificado SSL y ha pedido a su proveedor de alojamiento WordPress que se lo instale, puede ponerse en contacto con él para que se lo corrija.
Si ha instalado manualmente el certificado SSL, intente volver a instalarlo o póngase en contacto con su proveedor de certificados SSL para obtener soporte.
2. Corrección de errores de contenido mixto tras pasar a SSL/HTTPS
Los errores de contenido mixto están causados por fuentes que se siguen cargando utilizando el protocolo HTTP inseguro en las URL. Estos pueden incluir recursos como imágenes, scripts u hojas de estilos.
Si es así, no podrá ver un candado seguro o un icono de “sintonía” en la barra de direcciones de su sitio web.
Hay dos formas de corregir errores de contenido mixto SSL/HTTPS en WordPress. Te mostraremos las dos y luego podrás elegir la que mejor te funcione.
1. Corrección de errores de contenido mixto en WordPress utilizando un plugin.
Este método es más sencillo y se recomienda para principiantes. Pero puede tener un impacto negativo en el rendimiento de su WordPress porque el plugin intenta corregir errores de contenido mixto mediante el uso de una técnica de almacenamiento en búfer de salida.
Sin embargo, si utiliza un plugin de almacenamiento en caché, solo afectará a la carga de la primera página. Los visitantes que vuelvan no notarán ninguna diferencia en el rendimiento.
En primer lugar, deberá asegurarse de que dispone de un certificado SSL. Si no está seguro de tener uno, consulte nuestra guía sobre cómo obtener un certificado SSL gratuito para su sitio web en WordPress.
A continuación, sólo tiene que instalar y activar el plugin Really Simple SSL. Para más detalles, consulta nuestra guía paso a paso sobre cómo instalar un plugin de WordPress.
Una vez activado, tienes que visitar la página Ajustes ” SSL desde tu escritorio de administrador de WordPress para establecer la reseña / valoración de los ajustes del plugin. Really Simple SSL funciona de inmediato y se encargará automáticamente de tus ajustes SSL/HTTPS y corregirá los errores de contenido mixto.
Para obtener más información, consulte nuestra reseña detallada de Really Simple SSL.
2. Corrección manual de errores de contenido mixto en WordPress
Este método es más eficaz y mejor para el rendimiento de su sitio web. Sin embargo, requiere diagnosticar problemas manualmente.
En primer lugar, debe ir a Ajustes ” General y asegurarse de que las opciones ‘Dirección de WordPress’ y ‘Dirección del sitio’ tienen URL HTTPS.
Si ves URL que empiezan por “http”, tienes que cambiarlas a “https”. No olvides hacer clic en el botón “Guardar cambios” para establecer los ajustes.
A continuación, debe encontrar las antiguas URL HTTP en la base de datos de WordPress y sustituirlas por las nuevas URL HTTPS.
Puedes hacerlo fácilmente instalando y activando el plugin Search & Replace Everything. Para más detalles, consulta nuestra guía paso a paso sobre cómo instalar un plugin de WordPress.
Una vez activado, debe visitar la página Herramientas ” WP Search & Replace. En el campo ‘Buscar’, tienes que añadir la URL de tu sitio web con HTTP. Después de eso, añade la URL de tu sitio web con ‘https’ en el campo ‘Reemplazar’.
A continuación, pulsa el botón ‘Vista previa Buscar y reemplazar’ para ver qué URLs serán reemplazadas, y pulsa el botón ‘Reemplazar todo’ para continuar. El plugin actualizará las URLs en tu base de datos de WordPress.
Si sigue viendo errores de contenido mixto, entonces el siguiente paso es diagnosticar URLs en los archivos de su tema y plugins de WordPress.
Utilizando la herramienta de inspección de su navegador, deberá localizar los recursos que causan los errores y tomar nota de los archivos del sitio web desde los que se están cargando.
Si tiene experiencia en la edición de archivos de WordPress, puede acceder a los archivos del tema utilizando FTP o el gestor de archivos de su alojamiento web. Tienes que editar cada archivo y sustituir ‘http’ por ‘https’.
Otra alternativa es ponerse en contacto con el desarrollador del tema y pedirle que lo actualice. Tendrán que utilizar las mejores prácticas de WordPress para cargar archivos, lo que corregirá el problema HTTP/HTTPS.
Lo mismo ocurre con el contenido mixto cargado por un plugin de WordPress. No recomendamos editar los archivos de los plugins usted mismo, por lo que debe avisar al desarrollador del plugin y solicitar una actualización. Mientras tanto, puede desactivar el plugin en su sitio o encontrar un plugin alternativo.
3. Corrección de los errores de demasiadas redirecciones después de pasar a SSL/HTTPS
WordPress le permite imponer SSL/HTTPS para el área de administrador introduciendo la siguiente línea en su archivo wp-config.php:
define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);
Sin embargo, en algunos casos, este ajuste por sí solo puede provocar el error“Demasiados redireccionamientos“.
Para corregirlo, deberá añadir el siguiente código a su archivo wp-config.php justo antes de la línea que dice: ‘¡Eso es todo, deje de editar! Feliz blog”:
define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);
// in some setups HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO might contain
// a comma-separated list e.g. http,https
// so check for https existence
if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'], 'https') !== false)
$_SERVER['HTTPS']='on';
4. Corrección de la redirección HTTP a HTTPS de WordPress
WordPress no redirigirá automáticamente las peticiones HTTP a HTTPS a menos que usted se lo indique. Si utiliza un plugin como Really Simple SSL, éste se encargará de las redirecciones. De lo contrario, tendrá que establecer manualmente las redirecciones.
Para establecer la redirección de HTTP a HTTPS, debe añadir el siguiente código a su archivo .htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

Google may have cached the non-https version of your site, if you’ve submitted your sitemap you can have Google recrawl your site.

Hi,
Thanks for your post. I was able to fix ssl on one of my sites, however, I have another site with the woocommerce plugin and, with these steps, I couldn’t solve the problem.
I tried to deactivate all the plugins and when I deactivate the woocommerce my site works fine.
The problem is “too many redirects” and with this the page does not load.
Can anyone give me some tips on how to solve the redirects issue in the woocommerce plugin?

I appreciate all your guidance in this post, my truggle is taht I redirect the URLs in WP General Settings, while the status of SSL Certificate wasn’t active so now I can’t access to My Wordpress administration it appears the NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID error, so I already call my webhosting to fix the SSL Certificate issiue and it will get fixed, but now I wonder if there is a chance that I cand revert the URL to HTTP in CPANEL, so I can word on the design of my webpages…
Please Help Me

If you don’t want to wait for the SSL certificate to be active, you would go into your phpMyAdmin and edit your Options table to revert the site url and home url. https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/beginners-guide-to-wordpress-database-management-with-phpmyadmin/

Having problems opening my site on firefox and safari. I’ve installed SSL on one of my domains and the had it verified from the godaddy support team. They said that the ssl is installed fine. But my site doesn’t show the padlock on firefox and safari and sometimes it doesn’t even open.

Your browser may have cached the pre SSL address which could be the cause of your issue.

I did all this. Set up my SSL certificate, installed and activated Really Simple, fixed the mixed content errors (or tried to) with Better Search & Replace and SSL Insecure Content Fixer. However, most of my images are still broken or not loading. They don’t even appear in my media library. The console points to the same file causing the problem—but it’s a file that flat-out does not exist. I cannot find this file anywhere, yet somehow it’s the source of all my images being broken.

Hi guys, first of all, thanks for your great job sharing your knowledge with noobs like me
I’ve just done all the SSL certificate stuff for the first time and got something that seems weird.On the browser that I’ve created the WordPress site and done everything, the website displays just fine . The connection appears to be fully secure and green. But when opening on any other browser or machine, it displays like rubbish. Also, here I get a “Your connection to this site is not fully secure”. When using the Inspect tool, I get 6 of those mixed content errors.
Can you cast some light upon my ignorance, please? Thanks a lot!

You may want to ensure you clear all caching for your site and it can take some time for the SSL to fully update

Are there ways to fix issues like these if you cannot access the WordPress dashboard? Very often, if there is an SSL issue, the web browser will not even let you access the login page. I would assume you should be able to manually replace links in the database without using a plugin.

I have a web site that I installed Real Simple SSL and Better Search and Replace plugins. I activated both, and ran the Better Search and Replace tool. My problem is when I go to login I get the message (The page isn’t redirecting properly An error occurred during a connection)
This is in the most recent version of Firefox and I cleared cookies and cache.
I also tried this in Safari and it said that “Too many redirects occurred This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirecterd to open the original page.
What should I change or search for to get the wp-admin login page to work properly?

You would want to go into your database in the options table as one option to set the addresses back: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/beginners-guide-to-wordpress-database-management-with-phpmyadmin/
Or you can add code to to your wp-config file to change the address, the required code can be found in our article here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-wordpress-login-page-refreshing-and-redirecting-issue/
