Hello,

I am trying to add SSL to the above website, but my website still comes up as “not secure”
I clicked on Free SSL Certificates, New Certificates. I set up the CName record manually.
I copied and pasted the Private key and the Certificate, and uploaded them.
I received a green notice that said: SSL certificate installed.
But when I enter the above URL into the box, I get a notice that the URL is not secure.

Is there a way that I can fix this?

Thank you.

How to force all traffic to HTTPS

After you’ve enabled SSL for your website, you’ll probably want to redirect all traffic on your website to the https version of your site. There are multiple ways to do that. Let’s compare some commonly used ways. Using script configuration Some scripts (including Wordpress) have a setting which allows you to set your website URL. By changing this URL from http://example.com to https://example.com, the script will probably redirect visitors to the https version of your site. Even if your script…

Thank you for the reply Frank.

Is there something that I need to do to enable SSL?

SSL is already enabled for your site, since you have already installed the cert.

The only thing you need to do is to force all traffic to HTTPS. Please follow the guide I gave you.

Hello Frank,

I am somewhat of a newbie. I have read the articles, but I have not been able to force traffic to https://. How do I open the Wordpress dashboard on my Infinityfree.com website. so that I can add the really-simple-ssl plugin to my website.

Thank you.

You did not read the guide carefully. This is what you should be doing

@How to force all traffic to HTTPS

Using .htaccess

Probably the most common way to force traffic to https is by redirecting requests using .htaccess. The .htaccess is a simple text file simply called ‘.htaccess’ which contains additional settings passed to the web server to support some more complicated functionality. If you are using a script created by other people (including CMS like Wordpress), you can probably find a .htaccess file already in the htdocs folder of your website. If you don’t have a .htaccess file yet, you can create a file using the File Manager with the file name .htaccess. Using the File Manager is recommended, some systems (especially Windows) don’t work well with .htaccess files.

After you’ve found or created your .htaccess file, you can edit it in the File Manager or using any text editor (like Notepad). You need to add the following lines to the file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP:CF-Visitor} !{"scheme":"https"}
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Adding to what me and KangJL said, you should also update your WordPress site url. Go to your wp-admin and go to Settings. Then you are good to follow the guide.
