  I’ve got my SSL in place, but unless someone types the https in before the site name, it won’t automatically go to the secure site….

  Hi there,

  I guess your website is a self-hosted WordPress.org website and not hosted over here at WordPress.com as over here all websites have automatically the SSL installed and you do not need to install anything.

  I believe you need to change the default URL of your WordPress installation from Settings – General to point by default to https.

  Check out this resource for more details about the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org :

  In this forum we can only help with WordPress.com sites so I recommend posting to the WordPress.org support forums for advice or even contact your hosting provider for further help.

  Thanks
  Stefan
