How Do I Make WordPress Use Https?
Making WordPress use HTTPS is a two-step process. First, you need to set up a secure connection for WordPress.
Second, you need to tell WordPress to use HTTPS by setting up a secret certificate.
To set up a secure connection for WordPress, you first need to install a secure connection plugin. There are a number of options available, including the popular WP Security and Firewall plugin, which you can find at https://WordPress.org/plugins/wp-security-and-firewall/.
Once you have installed the plugin, you need to configure it. In the WP Security and Firewall plugin, click the Security tab, and then click the Add New Security Profile button. In the Add New Security Profile dialog box, enter the following information:.
Name: WordPress HTTPS
Description: Enable HTTPS for WordPress
URI: https://WordPress.org
Click the Add button.
Next, you need to configure WordPress to use the secure connection. To do this, open the wp-config.php file in your WordPress folder and add the following line to the bottom of the file:
define(‘HTTPS’, true);
Click the Save button to save the changes.
Now that WordPress is using a secure connection, you need to set up a secret certificate. To do this, you first need to create a certificate request file. To create the file, open the wp-config.
php file in your WordPress folder and click the Update Options button. In the Update Options dialog box, click the Files tab, and then click the Add File button. In the Add File dialog box, enter the following information:.
Name: Certificate Request
Location: https://WordPress.org/cert/
Next, you need to create the certificate. To do this, open the Certificates Manager window (by clicking the Tools menu and selecting the Certificates Manager option). In the Certificates Manager window, click the New button, and then enter the following information:
Type: Certificate
Click the Create button.
You now have a certificate request file and a certificate. To use the certificate, you first need to add it to your WordPress configuration.
To do this, open the wp-config.php file in your WordPress folder and add the following line to the bottom of the file:.
require_once(‘certificate.php’);
Next, you need to set up the secret key.php file in your WordPress folder and add the following line to the bottom of the file:
define(‘SECRET_KEY’, ‘ YOUR_SECRET_KEY’);
Finally, you need to tell WordPress to use the secret key by setting up a secret certificate.php file in your WordPress folder and add the following line to the bottom of the file:
ssl_certificate = ‘https://WordPress.org/cert/WordPress-ssl.crt';
Now that WordPress is using a secret certificate and a secure connection, you can visit https://WordPress.org and access the site using HTTPS.
