HTTPS for a custom domain

    I have finally migrated all of the content off my old site and want to use my custom domain on my WordPress blog. However, I don’t see SSL enabled on panesofglass.org now that I’ve selected it as my primary domain. Do I need to do something to use the Let’s Encrypt certificate, or is there some way to apply a certificate I’ve acquired elsewhere?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    All WordPress.com sites, including those with custom domains, are moving to the secure HTTPS protocol. You can read more about this here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

    Oops, No Primary Site Set
    There is no primary domain set for panesofglass.wordpress.com. This means that although panesofglass.org will forward to the site, panesofglass.org will appear in the browser address bar. To learn more about setting a primary domain, please see our documentation.

    Thank you, @galois. I switched my primary domain back for the time being in order to keep it under https. If you or someone else would be able to learn something by me restoring the primary domain to my custom domain, I am happy to switch it again.

    Hi @panesofglass, this is fixed :) Cheers!

    Oh! I misunderstood part of this. The SSL support will be added automatically soon now that this domain is primary — just give it some time to update.
