My website said its not secure even after SSL installation

[hakaba]

I’m helping my friends with a website for their wedding invitation, so low traffic, nothing too heavy or complicated. The site is feliandalex.great-site.net

I have installed SSL and it said that it’s active, yet I my site still says “Not Secure” when i open it in a browser soon my devices. I tried to load it in a new device (so cache wouldn’t be a problem), it actually doesn’t open at all.

I’m not a professional developer and this is the 3rd site that I made, the previous ones are with paid domains and hosts so I never encountered this problem before.

Hi and welcome to the forum! You’ll have to follow this as well:

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…

Only installing an SSL certificate isn’t enough to get your friends’ website to use HTTPS.

Hi! I actually did that already too. I’m stumped at what could be the issue here

I checked your website but it’s not redirecting to HTTPS for me.

Which method did you use to setup the HTTPS redirect?

@Admin

ing to HTTPS for me.

Which method did you use to setup the HTTPS redirect?

I just changed it in my wordpress general settings? Or is there any other method I should’ve used?

[Admin]

I’m not quite sure with WordPress, sometimes just updating the site URL in WordPress settings works, sometimes it doesn’t.

If it doesn’t work, then you could also force HTTPS with .htaccess rules. It should be safe to combine with WordPress (assuming the website URL is configured correctly ahead of time).

If you’re not comfortable configuring .htaccess rules yourself, the Really Simple SSL extension for WordPress can help you configure it.

Visiting your site with HTTP seems to redirect it to HTTPS now successfully but it didn’t before. If you don’t mind, what did you change since asking that made it work?
