Obtaining an SSL Certificate
Note About the Plugin
The CM HTTPS SSL WordPress plugin does not provide users with an SSL Certificate. These are offered by hosting providers, as we explain below.
What is an SSL Certificate?
To enable HTTPS on your website, you will need to first obtain an SSL Certificate (Secure Socket Layer) and install it.
How
do I Install
an SSL Certificate?
Upon gaining your SSL certificate you will need to install it. There are different ways to install an SSL certificate. As mentioned above, some hosting providers will offer free or paid SSL certificates, in which case the SSL can be installed through a few button clicks on the Admin Panel.
For hosting companies that don't offer SSL certificate services, the process will have to be done manually, either via SSH or, if you don't have SSH access, then most likely with the help of your Hosting service provider.
