How to Get an SSL Certificate Installed on Your WordPress Site

The process for how to get an SSL certificate is not an easy task. It's essential to take the time to get an appropriate SSL certificate from the right provider. A faulty certificate or improperly installed certificate is of no use and will only make your site slow.

Once you’ve found out your suitable SSL certificate, you can start with this tutorial or you can contact our WordPress site security help desk.

Ø  Choose an Authorized Certificate Authority

A recognized Certificate Authority is an Organization which will provide you with the SSL certificate. It will validate your credentials and provide you with the level of encryption that matches your requirement. After your application gets approved, they then provide you with the certificate and the associated keys.

Before going ahead with buying the certificate, you need first to check if your hosting provider offers an SSL certificate. If it does, you can review, and go ahead with installing it.

You need to pick a well-trusted CA that provides the kind of SSL certificate that suits your budget and matches your business’s goals.

The next steps you have to follow are as follows:

Ø  Buy and Verify Your SSL Certificate

Once you’ve chosen an SSL certificate provider and a certificate type, go ahead and purchase it. This will initiate the verification process. It can take anywhere from a couple of minutes to a couple of days depending upon the certificate you use.

While this happens, you can review the documentation offered by the SSL certificate company. Usually, the knowledgebase will offer information on the next steps for your SSL certificate.

After you get the approval from your Certificate Authority, download your SSL certificate files.

Ø  Install Your SSL Certificate

This next step is based on where you got your SSL certificate from. For example, if you procured one from your current web hosting provider, they may streamline installation for you when the approval process is complete. So, while you buy your certificate through your preferred provider, check with your web hosting company to see if they remarket it.

Ø  Validate if the SSL Certificate Is Working

Next, log out of the WHM and WordPress, and access your website URLtoif the SSL certificate reflects in the address bar. And ensure that all the trust seals you bought are there. These include the following:

 ·         HTTPS address

·         Padlock

·         Business name

·         Green address bar

·         On-site security trust seal is based on the certificate and CA

After checking these, you can expand the certificate and check if your business details are correct, like date of issue and CA.

If you still have a problem installing an SSL certificate, you can get in touch with one of our WordPress site security support members and get it done in no time.
