Configuring Really Simple SSL plugin in WordPress involves a few steps to ensure that the plugin is working properly and SSL is enabled for your website. Here's how you can configure Really Simple SSL:
Activate the Plugin: After installing the Really Simple SSL plugin, you need to activate it. Once activated, you'll see a notification on the WordPress dashboard that SSL is not yet enabled.
Enable SSL: To enable SSL, click on the "Go ahead, activate SSL!" button. This will redirect you to the SSL settings page.
Configure the Settings: On the settings page, you'll see a few options that you can configure. By default, the plugin should work without any additional configuration. However, you can adjust settings to suit your specific needs.
Test your Website: Once you've configured the plugin settings, you should test your website to make sure SSL is working properly. To do this, go to your website and make sure the URL begins with "https" instead of "http".
Check for Mixed Content: Sometimes, after enabling SSL, you might see a "mixed content" error on your website. This occurs when there are resources (such as images or scripts) that are loaded over HTTP instead of HTTPS. To fix this, you can use the "Mixed Content Fixer" feature included in the Really Simple SSL plugin.
Optional: Additional Configuration: There are a few additional settings you can configure in Really Simple SSL, such as enabling the HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) feature or configuring SSL for specific pages or subdomains.
That's it! By following these steps, you should be able to configure Really Simple SSL on your WordPress website and ensure that SSL is working properly.
