  Thank you for providing the links! It looks like you are working with self-hosted WordPress.org sites instead of the WordPress.com-hosted version supported here.

  Learn more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org:

  In order for https to work, you will need an SSL certificate. I would check with your hosting provider about this. More and more hosts (including WordPress.com) have been offering free SSL certificates through Let’s Encrypt.
