How Do You Add Lets Encrypt to WordPress?
Adding Let’s Encrypt to your WordPress site is easy. First, you will need to add the Let’s Encrypt plugin to your WordPress site.
Once the plugin is installed, you will need to add the following line to your WordPress site’s functions.php file:.
add_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘add_lets_encrypt’);
Next, you will need to add a few lines of code to your site’s header.php file to configure Let’s Encrypt. First, you will need to add the following line:
// Include the Let’s Encrypt plugin. $plugin_url = ‘https://github.com/wp-plugins/letsencrypt/releases/download/v2.
3.1/letsencrypt.zip';.
Next, you will need to add the following line to your site’s header:
// Configure Let’s Encrypt. $certs = array( ‘domain.com’ => array( ‘certificate’ => ‘./cert.
pem’, ‘private_key’ => ‘./private.key’ ), );.
// Enable Let’s Encrypt. $enable_lets_encrypt = true;
Finally, you will need to add the following line to your site’s header:
// Output the Encrypted Site. echo ‘
Hello, World!
‘;
Now, you will need to set up your site’s DNS records. First, you will need to determine which DNS provider your site is using. Once you have determined which DNS provider your site is using, you will need to add the following records to your site’s DNS configuration:
– A CNAME record for your domain.com A record pointing to the IP address of your server.
– A TXT record with the following content: v=spf1 a mx ip4:54.198.49.
185 include:_spf.domain.com.
– A A record for your domain.com pointing to your server’s IP address.
Now, you will need to add the following line to your site’s header:
// Enable the DNS records. $enable_dns = true;
Now, your site is ready to use Let’s Encrypt. To use Let’s Encrypt, you will first need to generate a new certificate. To generate a new certificate, you will need to visit the Let’s Encrypt website and enter your site’s domain name and private key. After you have generated your new certificate, you will need to copy the certificate and private key to the appropriate locations on your server.
Then, you will need to enable Let’s Encrypt on your site. To enable Let’s Encrypt, you will first need to generate a new SSL certificate request. After you have generated your new SSL certificate request, you will need to submit it to the Let’s Encrypt website. Finally, you will need to verify that your site has been enabled by visiting the Let’s Encrypt website and entering your site’s domain name and private key.
