    If your SSL certificate for the domain tom.pickfit.life is still in a pending state after two days, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and expedite the process:1. Verify DNS Settings:

    • Check DNS Records: Ensure that the DNS records for your domain are correctly set up. This typically includes verifying that your domain’s A record or CNAME record points to the correct server where the SSL certificate is being applied.
    • Propagation Time: DNS changes can sometimes take up to 48 hours to propagate fully. If you recently made changes, it might be a matter of waiting.

    2. Confirm Certificate Request:

    • Check Certificate Authority (CA) Status: Log in to your SSL certificate provider’s dashboard and verify if there are any pending actions required from your side, such as domain validation.
    • Email Verification: Ensure that you’ve completed any email verification steps if your SSL provider requires it.

    3. Reissue or Renew Certificate:

    • Reissue Request: If the SSL certificate has been pending for an unusually long time, you might consider reissuing the certificate. Sometimes, reissuing can resolve issues related to pending requests.
    • Contact Support: Reach out to your SSL certificate provider’s support team for assistance. They can check the status of your certificate and help resolve any issues.

    4. Check for Conflicts:

    • Existing Certificates: Ensure there are no conflicting SSL certificates installed on your server. Multiple certificates or incorrect configurations can sometimes cause delays.

    5. Verify Domain Ownership:

    • Domain Validation: Confirm that you have completed all necessary domain validation steps as required by your SSL provider. This might involve uploading a verification file to your server or responding to a verification email.

    6. Server Configuration:

    • Check Server Logs: Look for any errors or warnings related to SSL certificate installation in your server logs. This might give clues if there’s a configuration issue.

    7. Use Online Tools:

    • SSL Checker: Use online SSL checker tools like SSL Labs’ SSL Test to see if there’s any issue with the SSL setup or if the certificate is correctly installed.

    8. Ensure Compatibility:

    • Browser and OS: Sometimes, SSL issues can be related to browser or OS compatibility. Ensure that the issue is not specific to a particular browser or operating system.

    Hmmmm I’m pretty sure that i did everything what was required.

    Actually i’ve set this up exactly the same as my other website ana.pickfit.life and there is working perfectly. Also from what I understand is wordpress.com responsible for generating SSL Certificate and making it active ?

  • There were some underlying errors that were resolved and now I have provisioned your SSL certificate. You should be all set now for tom.pickfit.life
