   I was struggling to get an SSL certificate installed on one of my clients website who has already bought hosting from GoDaddy.
   but there is no such option inside its dashboard like that of provided by bluehost, dreamhost and others.
   Thanks for the detailed instructions for installing SSL certificate on websites.
   I don’t know if GoDaddy has also any such option which I am unable to find?

     You would need to check with GoDaddy’s support for their currently available options.

   Thanks for this great article. I have Go Daddy and my site is now secure. The Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate expires in 90 days. Do I need to “renew” the certificate every 90 days? If so, can I just press the “renew” link or must I go through all the steps required to install the certificate? Thanks so much!

   Yanıtla

   • WPBeginner Support

     Hi Shana,

     Most hosting companies automatically renew the certificate.

   Hi there, I could migrate my brand new page to https with no problems with your method, but when I tried to do it for my older page it didn’t work. I couldn’t log in into my dashboard, do you know what could be happening? I did everything as you said.
   Many thanks!

     Hi Jorgelina,

     You probably meant website when you said page. It is harder for us to guess what may have gone wrong. Try undoing the steps you took and then try again.

   Hi Syed ..thanks for this great article. I learned a clear idea about SSL and the importance of https. I already installed SSL to my website. It really help me to get higher ranking on google SERP. Previously I knew SSL certificate is paid. But now it’s getting free on Let’s Encrypt. Lot of thanks to you for written this valuable post

   How should you change your CloudFlare settings after installing Let’s Encrypt certificate and switching your site over HTTPS? I refer expecially to the “Crypto” tab.

      Hi Serouj,

      No, your site is not secure yet. Please follow the instructions in the article, or ask your hosting provider for support. They will be able to fix it for you or point you in the right direction.

    I´m using Really simple SSL with the shared SSL I got from my hoster. The problem is that the redirection from http to https works fine just on the homepag. Other pages dont redirect. and The RSSSL plugin is updating every second day but not solving the problem. Any sollution for this problem?

    OK, I’m trying to get my head around this. I will still need a dedicated IP Bluehost and then I can install the free SSL by Let’s Encrypt? And, this would be a better option than the free SSL from BH, right?

    I am going to be developing an ecomm site for fitness apparel and gear.

    I installed letsencryprt on an Ubuntu 16.04 LAMP server via the shell. All the Wordpress files are white screen. I tested the site in QUALSYS, which checked out. I set up an hml test page in the root difectory that works with https. It’s just the WP pages.

    I am thinking that I need to do some configuration in the default-ssl.conf file, though my attemot at that managed to break the white screen and make the site disappear. Any thought?

    This has created a nightmare for me.

    On my local dev site (I use MAMP) I used the dashboard – settings – general to change the URL’s from “http” to “https”. As soon as I saved the change I got a message saying localhost refused connection. I can’t log in to the dash board to change the url back – I get the same message and the address in the bar is https://localhost/mysite/.

    I have tried fiddling with the wp-login.php to not force SSL, to no avail.

    It’s a horrible catch 22. Any ideas how I can get out of this problem?

    Yanıtla

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Ian,

      You can revert back your site urls to http by following these steps.

      Go to /Applications/Mamp/htdocs folder on your computer. Locate your WordPress installation (propbably in mysite folder) and then go to /wp-content/themes/your-current-theme/ folder. Replace your-current-theme with the directory of the theme you were using on your website. In your theme folder you need to edit functions.php file.

      Add this code in your functions.php file at the end.

      define( 'WP_HOME', 'http:/localhost/mysite' );
      define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://localhost/mysite' );

    Hi Syed. I tried to install this certificate multiple times after activating the Really Simple SSL Plugin but it kept breaking my site and returning an Error 500. I do not understand how to create the certificate using the letsencrypt website so I used this site instead and then installed manually on my site. My hosts told me I can install SSL even though am on shared hosting. What could be the problem?

    Yanıtla

    • WPBeginner Support

      Try adding SSL after deactivating all other plugins on your website. Then reactivate them one by one until you are able to reproduce the error.

        Thank you. I did the same and I found about two to three plugins that caused my site to fail. Despite that, the SSL breaks the CSS for my site. I had to remove it entirely and just stay without SSL.

    I’m really glad about what Let’s Encrypt is doing; making encryption easily accessible to everyone is really awesome. Good to see web hosts implementing it for their customers also. My host, StackPress, is among those hosts who now offer Let’s Encrypt and I’m pretty stoked about it.

    I am relatively new to WordPress so I have read a lot on WPBeginner. I’m starting a new website and want to use SSL from the start – that’s how I came across this article. My Belgian hosting company does not provide an automated way to install Let’s Encrypt, but it does allow me to install my own SSL without having to buy/install the certificate through them.
    In your article you write “Updating WordPress URLs After Setting up SSL – After setting up the Free SSL certificate with Let’s Encrypt” but you don’t write how this process is actually done manually (unless I have missed it completely!). On the Let’s Encrypt website on their “Getting Started” webpage they refer to the installation of “Certbot” for this purpose, and then it all becomes as good as Chinese for me…
    The link imbedded in your text, “After setting up the Free SSL certificate with Let’s Encrypt,” just sent me off to a GoDaddy promo for webhosting, whereas I expected it was going to refer to a useful text explaining how to get a free SSL certificate from Let’s Encrypt.
    I was hoping that your article would tell people who’s host do not automate the Let’s Encrypt installation how to complete this themselves, but after getting to the end of your article, I am (and surely many others) are left without the info we were hoping for.

      Please look at the section ‘Installing Let’s Encrypt Free SSL on Other Web Hosts’. We have given example of BlueHost, a web hosting company that does not offer easy tools to automatically setup Let’s Encrypt. But they do have a page on how to setup 3rd party SSL certificates. You can also ask your web hosting company to help you setup SSL.

        I’m sorry I didn’t mention that I had also read the BlueHost link. In the info BlueHost provide they say, “Provide the CSR to the SSL vendor of your choice. They will exchange it for a CRT file.” I’ve already created a CSR that is ready to be forwarded to a 3rd party for a SSL certificate and I’d like to use Let’s Encrypt for this. But nowhere on the Let’s Encrypt website can I find a way to submit my CSR. They have a support page, but this is full of technical questions and answers, I found nothing that says how to obtain a SSL certificate from Let’s Encrypt using a CSR. Other (paid) SSL certificate providers have a simple and obvious way of letting you submit your CSR to get a SSL cert. in return.

          I have personally tried installing Let’s Encrypt on Bluehost, but failed. I talked with the customer support and they told me that they do not support Let’s Encrypt certificates. And he referred me to get a paid one. Their shared hosting sucks these days.

    Dreamhost told me I can’t use Let’s Encrypt and CloudFlare at the same time. I therefore signed up for Cloudflare outside of Dreamhost because they offer free encryption of their own…somehow. I can’t figure out how to get a certificate created and put on my site and Dreamhost isn’t helping since it’s a Cloudflare product. Cloudflare isn’t helping cause it’s a free plan. I’m wondering if anyone has any simple insights into this?

      Cloudflare doesn’t support HTTPS for free plans. So you need a premium Cloudflare account if you want to use SSL.

    I have a WordPress site running on InMotion hosting. I contacted them today and they basically told me that I’m free to install it but that they won’t offer any support or help doing it. Has anyone set up Let’s Encrypt for a InMotion WP site? I made it to the SSL/TLS manager in my cPanel but had no idea what to do from there. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello Syed,
    Thanks for the article. Very interesting since I recently joined Siteground and of course had Let’s Encrypt installed. Works great on pc, but …. is untrusted on mobile devices. Have you heard about this phenomenon or could it be a Siteground problem (configuration of their webservers)?

      Honestly don’t see why it would impact your Adsense revenue. We have heard that some folks reported their traffic dropping after they switched to SSL but that’s mainly because Google needs some time to re-index everything.

    It’s great to see SiteGround is constantly innovating their web hosting services. I have multiple customers who I’ve placed on SiteGround and never looked back. Adding the free SSL certificate is an interesting service. Does the certificate come with standard web hosting? Is the certificate a premium option? Either way, the tutorial was extremely helpful! Especially with Google factoring in websites with http vs. https.

    Hi , thanks for this information.One question

    After we successfully install the Let’s Encrypt and the Really Simple SSL plugins and we finish with the process of renaming the URL to https can we then remove those plugins from the WordPress dashboard?..

    Or do we have to keep them installed and running?
