We’re going through how to fix SSL Errors on SiteGround in the current version of WordPress.
Hi my name is Dan and I’m a Senior Software Engineer and Full Stack WordPress Developer with WP Updoot. In this video we’re looking at what to do if you’re receiving a certificate error on a website hosted by SiteGround.
So first things first, how do you tell if your website certificate is invalid or otherwise borked? It’s fairly straightforward; just navigate to your website (and we’re looking at the one used in our website course here) and change the protocol up in the URL bar from HTTP to HTTPS. If it looks like this it’s broken or otherwise invalid.
So let’s log into SiteGround. Once we’re logged in click websites site tools security and SSL manager select the relevant domain from the install tab (in this case we only have one site on the server so it’s already selected) and then from the right hand select box select Let’s Encrypt.
Next, click Get; we’ll hang about while it does its thing.
After a minute or so all things going well you should see a new certificate listed in the manage SSL box below and the confirmation at the top. Now we can test the certificate; and if that’s worked we’ll see the site!

WordPress is the most popular and easiest way to create a website or blog. In fact, the software powers approximately 40% of all internet sites. Yes, more than one-fourth of the websites you visit use this platform.
The software is open-source and licenced under GPLv2, meaning anybody may use or change it for free. A content management system (CMS) is a platform that allows you to manage essential parts of your website, including content, without knowing any coding.
As a result, WordPress makes website creation accessible to everyone, even non-developers.
Once largely used to build blogs rather than regular websites, WordPress can now construct any sort of website owing to improvements in the core code and a huge ecosystem of plugins and themes.
Paired with WooCommerce (owned by the same company, Automaticc), for example, is the most common option to establish an eCommerce store!
