Upgrading Site to SSL

[mwerries33]

I’m trying to secure my WordPress site and I’ve installed the Really Simple SSL plugin and activated it and changed my home site URLs to https://

Now it’s giving me this message:

Some things can’t be done automatically. Before you migrate, please check for:
• Http references in your .css and .js files: change any http:// into //
• Images, stylesheets or scripts from a domain without an SSL certificate: remove them or move to your own server.
• It is recommended to take a backup of your site before activating SSL

I’m in the process of backing up my site, but how do I complete the first 2 steps?

Hello Maria,

Thanks for writing in! Actually you do not need an SSL plugin. Simply go to Settings > General and make sure that the site url and WordPress address url is using https. You may need to install Better Search and Results plugin so that you can search for http://example.com/ and replace it with https://example.com/.

Hope this helps. Please let us know how it goes.
