Knowledgebase - How to Set Up an SSL Certificate in WordPress

SSL ensures secure connections.

1. Activate SSL in your Ahosting control panel.

2. Once installed, log in to WordPress and install a plugin such as Really Simple SSL.

3. This forces your site to load with HTTPS.

4. Update any old links from HTTP to HTTPS to avoid mixed content warnings.

Most browsers now label sites without SSL as “Not Secure”, so this step is essential.
