Plugin / Really Simple SSL

Description

Description

Really Simple SSL automatically detects your settings and configures your website to run over https.
To keep it lightweight, the options are kept to a minimum. The entire site will move to SSL.

Three simple steps for setup:

  • Get an SSL certificate (can’t do that for you, sorry).
  • Activate this plugin
  • Enable SSL with one click

Always backup before you go! If you do not have a sound backup policy, start having one! See our recommendations.

Any code suggestions? We’re on GitHub as well!

What does the plugin actually do

  • The plugin handles most issues that WordPress has with SSL, like when you’re behind a reverse proxy/loadbalancer, or when no headers are passed which WordPress can use to detect SSL.
  • All incoming requests are redirected to https. Default with an internal WordPress redirect, but you can also enable a .htaccess redirect.
  • The site url and home url are changed to https.
  • Your insecure content is fixed by replacing all http:// urls with https://, except hyperlinks to other domains. Dynamically, so no database changes are made (except for the siteurl and homeurl).
