  my website is http://….
  I’m needing to get it to https and install an SSL license. I’ve read in these forums that wordpress does that automatically but that’s obviously not the case since my website comes up as insecure. Any advice on how to start that process?

  Hi, @maxmoscoe
  Your site is not hosted on WordPress.com, but using the open source WordPress.org software at another hosting provider.

  For general help with the version of WordPress you’re using, you can ask the WordPress.org community over at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  You can read more about the differences between WordPress.org software and WordPress.com here:

  Cheers.
