Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP Encryption: Easy HTTPS / SSL & Free SSL certificate, HTTPS redirect

Installing SSL certificate is a server side process and not as straight forward as installing a ready widget and using it instantly. You will have to follow some simple steps to install SSL for your WordPress site. Our plugin acts like a tool to generate and install SSL for your WordPress site. On FREE version of plugin - You should manually go through the SSL certificate installation process following the simple video tutorial. Whereas, the SSL certificates are easily generated by our plugin by running a simple SSL generation form.

By adding below line of code to your wp-config.php file, All SSL enforcements like HSTS, Upgrade insecure requests, redirect to HTTPS, mixed content fixer will be disabled. Please check your .htaccess file for any other HTTPS enforcement related codes and remove it. define("WPLE_DISABLE_HTTPS");

If you already have SSL certificate installed, You can use WP Encryption plugin purely for HTTPS redirection & SSL enforcing purpose. All you need to do is enable "Force HTTPS" feature in this plugin. Secure webmail & email server with an SSL/TLS Certificate Starting from WP Encryption v5.4.8, you can now secure your webmail & incoming/outgoing email server following this guide

First of all, Please make sure you can access your site with and without www. Otherwise you will be not able to complete domain verification for both www & non-www together. If both are accessible, You will see "Generate SSL for both www & non-www" option on SSL install form. Otherwise, this option will be hidden.

Please make sure you can access your site with and without www. Otherwise you will be not able to complete domain verification for both www & non-www together. You can also force enable this checkbox by appending includewww=1 to page url i.e., /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wp_encryption&includewww=1

Images on your site might be loading over http:// protocol, please enable "Force HTTPS via WordPress" feature of WP Encryption. If you have Elementor page builder installed, please go to Elementor > Tools > Replace URL and replace your http:// site url with https://. Make sure you have SSL certificates installed and browser padlock shows certificate as valid before forcing these https measures. If you have too many mixed content errors because of http:// resources loaded in your css, js or external links, We recommend using "Really Simple SSL" plugin along with WP Encryption.

You can click on STEP 1 in progress bar or Renew SSL button (which will be enabled during last 30 days of SSL expiry date) and follow the same initial process of SSL certificate generation to renew the certificates.

Wildcard SSL support is included with PRO version SSL Certificates renewed but new certs not showing in frontend This might happen for non cPanel sites, all you need to do is reboot the server instance once.

Please follow the revert back instructions given in support thread - Forced SSL via Htaccess and support thread - Forced SSL via WordPress accordingly. I am getting some errors during SSL installation Feel free to open a ticket in this plugin support form and we will try our best to resolve your issue.

You don't need to configure anything. Once after you upgrade to PRO version and activate PRO plugin on your site, the auto renewal of SSL certificates will start working in background according to 60 days schedule i.e., 30 days prior to SSL certificate expiry date. Site with Elementor is showing insecure https padlock even if SSL certificate is installed If your site built with Elementor is showing insecure https padlock even if SSL certificate is properly installed & valid, it could be due to insecure http:// assets being loaded in page builder blocks like image block. Please go to Elementor > Tools > Replace URL and replace http://yoursite.com with https://yoursite.com
