One Click SSL

Description

A simple and easy to use WordPress SSL plugin which will redirect all non-SSL pages to SSL and ensure that all resources on your SSL pages are loaded over SSL as well.

It includes a user-friendly setup wizard upon activation to check if SSL is supported on the hosting/server before it allows the SSL to be enabled and that ensures that the website doesn’t become inaccessible if SSL is not supported.

Plugin Features

  • Check if SSL is supported on hosting/server
  • Enable SSL with a single click
  • Redirects all non-SSL URLs to https://
  • Converts all non-SSL resources (images, scripts, stylesheets, etc.) to https:// on pages
  • Redirect to non-SSL if SSL is not enabled

See our online documentation for more details and detailed instructions.

Screenshots

  • Testing utility to check if SSL is supported on the hosting so that the website doesn't become inaccessible.
  • Easily enable SSL with a single click after confirming SSL support.
  • If you are already on SSL (https://) the plugin will tell you that and no action is required.
  • Configure your SSL to run on specific sections and behave in a certain way as required.

Installation

Follow these steps to install the plugin:

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/one-click-ssl directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
  3. Use the setup screen after activation to enable SSL or go to the One Click SSL admin menu item to enable.

FAQ

What is SSL?

SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer and it is a protocol which encrypts all data in transit on your website to prevent theft, interception or hacking.

What is required to use SSL?

You need to have SSL support on your hosting/server. This is done by installing an SSL certificate.

Is SSL mandatory?

No, it is not, but for the security and peace of mind of your users, it is highly recommended. Many modern day browsers are warning users about insecure websites, and some search engines rank you lower if you do not activate SSL.

Simple, no extras with any PRO VERSION bullsh*t as all others! Straight to the point. THANKS FOR THAT!

Very simple setup, checks for properly working SSL before it does its thing. Redirections to SSL work perfectly. I sometimes copy the site to a local server without SSL. The plugin detects this and deactivates so it never gets in the way. Nicely done!

Works great and straightforward and won't cause conflicts with access manager plugins installed, as I've unfortunately experienced with Really Simple SSL...
