It\u2019s often easier to use such a plugin to force a large, existing WordPress site to use a\u00a0free or paid SSL certificate\u00a0(HTTPS) than attempting an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hoganhost.com.ng\/blog\/cpanel\/how-to-manually-force-website-to-use-ssl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">.htaccess redirect<\/a>\u00a0and manually fixing mixed content errors (not to be confused with\u00a0Self-Signed SSL Certificate Warning). This is why we recommend this plugin which forces all images to display over a secure connection to negate mixed content errors. This can easily be tested using a security test site like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.whynopadlock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WhyNoPadLock.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"alert alert-warning\">Warning: Before you force any website to HTTPS, ensure you\u2019ve installed a properly signed\u00a0paid SSL\u00a0or\u00a0FreeSSL.
