Hello guys, what’s up? I hope all is well today. In this quick tutorial, I’m going to show you how to fix SSL issues on your WordPress website.

So, for example, if you already have an SSL certificate installed but sometimes see errors or warnings saying that SSL isn’t working properly — like mixed content issues or insecure connection messages — then this video is for you.

Let’s get started.

Step 1: Install the Really Simple SSL Plugin

The easiest way to fix these SSL problems is by using a plugin called Really Simple SSL.

Go to your WordPress dashboard, click on Plugins > Add New, and search for “SSL”. The plugin we’re looking for is called Really Simple SSL.

Click Install Now, wait a moment for it to install, and then click Activate.

Step 2: Go Through the Setup Wizard

Once activated, you’ll see a notification in your dashboard that will take you through the setup process.

During the setup:

  • Choose your hosting provider (in my case, it was Contabo).
  • You can skip entering your email if you want.
  • Enable all the basic features recommended.
  • Skip any premium features for now — they are optional.

Click Finish once done.

At this point, your SSL should be about 50–60% configured.

Step 3: Configure Advanced Settings (Optional)

Now go to the Really Simple SSL settings page, and under the “Settings” tab, make sure to enable:

  • HSTS Header
  • HTTP to HTTPS redirect
  • Mixed content fixer

Click Save Changes after enabling them.

You can close the other pop-ups or notifications if they appear.

Step 4: Check Your Website

Now head back to your website and refresh the page.

As you can see, the site is now secure — there’s a padlock icon in the address bar, and no SSL errors are showing up.

✅ That means everything is working perfectly!

A Few Notes

  • This plugin doesn’t install the SSL certificate itself — that needs to be done either through your hosting provider or a service like Let’s Encrypt.
  • What this plugin does is help implement and enforce SSL correctly across your WordPress site.
  • If you’re running an online store or handling sensitive data, consider upgrading to the Pro version for extra security features like firewall protection.

Final Thoughts

This is a simple and effective way to fix SSL-related issues on your WordPress site.
