    I have a valid SSL certificate but my site it’s not marked as secure in my browser

    The plugin dashboard says SSL is not enabled yet, and the SSL option doesn’t allow me to select a redirect method

    I’ve tried commenting RewriteRule ^.well-known/(.*)$ – [L] on my htaccess
    I’ve also tried adding define( ‘RSSSL_SAFE_MODE’, TRUE ); to the wp-config

    What am I missing?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @subpopet,

    As the site already has a valid SSL certificate installed, all you would have to do is clicking Activate SSL in the plugin’s Dashboard.

    This will make all of the necessary changes to enforce SSL on the WordPress side (e.g., 301 redirect, mixed content fixer), so that the website is correctly redirected to HTTPS and no longer accessible over regular/insecure HTTP.

    Kind regards, Jarno

    I click the Activate button but nothing happens after going through all the options

    Hi @subpopet,

    I see, does the dashboard now state that SSL is activated? If define('RSSSL_SAFE_MODE', true); was still in your wp-config.php at the time you clicked Activate SSL, the plugin may have intentionally skipped adding the HTTPS redirect and mixed content fixer.

    So, if Safe Mode was indeed active, remove that line from the wp-config.php and retry SSL activation via the plugin’s dashboard. Or, check Settings -> General to verify if this indeed still contains the http:// URLs to your site; if so, manually update these to https://.

    Kind regards, Jarno

    Ok, looks like it’s enabled. Does it take some time to change? The browser still says is insecure

    Hi @subpopet,

    Great. It’s now working correctly, the site redirects from http:// -> https:// now (and http://www. -> https://www.)

    You can see this in a redirect check tool such as: https://redirect.li/http/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.subnoise.es%2F

    Kind regards, Jarno

    I still see the not secure flag on chrome, could it be the cache?

    Edit: Restarted the browser and it looks fine. Thanks!

    Hi @subpopet,

    Yes, as you’ve seen that these external test tools already see the correct redirect chain; it is likely because of the browser still having the ‘old’ state cached.

    Try a different browser, and you should see the correct behavior there already.
