  Hi there!

  I purchased a SSL certificate and tried to set it up on my site starfield-fitness.com.
  I did everything according to this guide
  http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-ssl-and-https-in-wordpress/

  While I can still access the website, it still doesn’t show https and all images are broken.

  Also, I cannot access my WordPress admin site anymore as I get a security warning.

  I’m seriously in trouble. Any advice/help will be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hi there,

  You don’t have any sites on WordPress.com, which tells me you’re working on a self-hosted site using the WordPress.org software. We are not able to help with that version of WordPress in these forums, so please ask in the self-hosted forums instead:

  https://wordpress.org/support/

  Keep in mind that you might also need to configure SSL in your hosting account, not just in your site’s dashboard. You’ll need to contact your hosting provider’s support for help with that.

  Hi Kokkieh,

  Yes, I’m not hosting through worpress.com. Sorry if it was in the wrong forum.

  By the way, I figured it out. I made changes to the htaccess file and my settings in WordPress to set up the SSL certificate but turned out the SSL wasn’t installed on the backend yet.

  I’ll mark it as resolved now.

  Thanks
