How to enable SSL on Wordpress

When you install an SSL cert on a domain name you typically need to create redirects in the code to funnel visitors to the https version of the website.

With Wordpress however, a plugin is available that can do this task automatically. The plugin is called 'Really Simple SSL' and it can be gotten here:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/really-simple-ssl/

You'd want to install it after the SSL cert has been installed on the domain name to avoid any issues.

If you are using Elementor site builder for WordPress, additional steps may be required:

On your WordPress Admin Panel, go to Elementor >> Tools >> Replace URL

In the first box, enter http://www.example.com and in the second box, enter https://www.example.com, then click on "Replace URL".
