    In SSL Settings, I’m getting an error that says,

    WARNING: Your server does appear to support SSL. Using these features without SSL support on your server or host will cause some or all of your site to become unavailable.

    My server has an SSL cert installed for the site — WHM/cPanel says it’s active. Why would I be getting this error?

    And I AM having problems with SSL, too. The front-end of my site WON’T go HTTPS. It immediately reverts back to HTTP, even if I enable Per Content in the Front End SSL Settings.

  • Hello,
    Don’t care about SSL warning! i have the same issue, but ssl works for my back-end.

    For your front end, if you want people to access only in https mode, you have to put it in wordpress general settings the correct url “https://…”,
    You have to add a rewrite rule on your .htaccess file for http => https, something like this :

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R,L]

    Try to find the correct script searching in google “htaccess https redirect“

    hope it will work for you
    L..

    The test is rather simple and just looks to see if your front page with https returns a valid HTTP code (if [it] thinks its working). If you know your site works on https you can ignore the warning.

    Keep in mind that it has to work with your domain. That means it you have https://mysite.com then https://mysite.com must be your SSL address if you wish to use the front-end SSL features.
