Wordpress SSL

[pannic12]

Hi webflakes, 

How i can able to wordpress work with SSL?

[lilobzh]

Hi

Add a certificat with lets encrypt for example et changer URL in admin . HTTP to HTTPS

[Justinstek]

You can set this up at your control panel (ie. Direct Admin or cPanel)

[Weexe]

After installing the ssl certificat  you also have to change the url from http to https

[Marioace]

Its easy to implement, some hostings has the LetsEncrypt integrated, or you can create a certificate with Letsencrypt, or another

After that, into the WP Admin Panel, the WP Address and Site Address, must have https://

You can do it through CloudFlare with Simple SSL plugin. I've done this many times and always worked smoothly.

[Lahori_Munda]

Always use CloudFlare free of cost.

[metamorpher]

A most rustic but efective way, in case you have access to your .htaccess file, is to use the mod_rewrite within your apache installation. Simply put the following:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/acme-challenge/[0-9a-zA-Z_-]+$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/cpanel-dcv/[0-9a-zA-Z_-]+$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/pki-validation/[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt(?:\ Comodo\ DCV)?$
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

Most shared hosting companies have already automatised the SSL certificates implementation with the Let's Encrypt solution, so you just need to point the users to the https 'version' of your website.

As people told you here in this very same post, also change your main URL in the WP control panel adding https to the main address.

you can use cloudflare's flexible ssl. its free and easy to use.

The answer @lilobzh provided earlier is largely correct. To help you achieve these steps, here are some helpful tools I'm personally using as well:

1. For the SSL certificate via Let's Encrypt: https://wordpress.org/plugins/ose-lets-encrypt/
2. To enable and force HTTPS for all your URL's: https://wordpress.org/plugins/https-redirection/

Someone will certainly comment that this can be achieved in other ways without resorting to the use of plugins. But in the case of this question, I believe the simpler solution would be to just use these pre-existing plugins. That should be enough for OP to get started.

Yes, this is best solution. I'm using it.

If you are using CloudFlare you can do that:

Go to your domain > Crypto

You should see "Always use HTTPS", default will be Off. Put it to On

A bit lower you should see "Automatic HTTPS Rewerites", put it On also.

[Cookie Monster]

A note if you don't want to switch to CloudFlare like me you can also use

https://zerossl.com/

If you do not have Let's encrypt added to your hosting.

My site is using cloudflare too. Btw is there any post or thread how to hide IPs using cloudflare?.

Thanks a lot.

[MisterM]

You can do it with 2 solutions free:

Use SSL Encrypt or SSL from cloudflare

After do that you can force wordpress secure all pages with SSL, install the plugin Really Simple SSL.

Thats all, it ill works fine.
