How Do I Add HTTPS to WordPress?

HTTPS is a protocol that helps protect your online privacy by encrypting your traffic between your browser and the websites you visit. When you go to a HTTPS website, your browser will request that the website provide a secure connection.

Adding HTTPS to your WordPress blog is easy. First, you’ll need to install the HTTPS certificate from a trusted source.

Next, you’ll need to add the certificate to your WordPress site’s settings. Finally, you’ll need to configure your WordPress site to use HTTPS.

To add the HTTPS certificate to your WordPress site, first visit the HTTPS Certificates page on the website where you received the certificate. You’ll need to provide the name of your site, the certificate’s file name, and the certificate’s domain.

After you’ve added the certificate to your site, you’ll need to configure your WordPress site to use HTTPS. To do this, open your WordPress site’s settings screen and click on the Security tab. Under the General heading, click on the Security Settings button. In the Security Settings screen, you’ll need to click on the HTTPS tab.

Under the General heading, you’ll need to click on the Use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) check box. You’ll then need to provide the name of your site, the port on which your WordPress site is running, and the SSL certificate’s file name. After you’ve added the SSL certificate and set the security settings for your WordPress site, you’re ready to start using HTTPS.

When you visit a HTTPS website, your browser will request that the website provide a secure connection. WordPress will use the SSL certificate that you’ve added to authenticate the request and provide the requested secure connection.
