Installing an SSL Certificate for WordPress (Why and How)

Print

An SSL Certificate encrypts the connection between a visitor's browser and your server, making your website secure (https://).

 

Why SSL is Crucial:

 

  • Security: Protects sensitive data (passwords, credit cards) from being intercepted.

  • Trust: Displays the secure padlock icon in the browser, building user confidence.

  • SEO: Google uses HTTPS as a minor ranking factor.

 

How to Install (Koelhost/cPanel)

 

Koelhost typically provides free SSL certificates via AutoSSL (powered by Let's Encrypt).

  1. Check Status: Log in to cPanel. In the Security section, click SSL/TLS Status.

  2. Run AutoSSL: If your domain shows as "Expires," select the domain(s) and click the Run AutoSSL button. The system will automatically fetch and install the certificate.

  3. Force HTTPS in WordPress: Once the certificate is installed on the server:

    • Option 1 (Recommended): Use a plugin like Really Simple SSL. Install and activate the plugin, and it will automatically handle all internal site redirects to HTTPS.

    • Option 2 (Manual): Log in to your WordPress Dashboard. Go to Settings General. Change both the WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) from http://yourdomain.com to https://yourdomain.com.
