One of the most popular features in EasyEngine 3.4.0 onwards is that they include a free SSL certificate generator from Let's Encrypt, so your website supports both secure and search-engine friendly HTTPS protocols. Google search.
Note that in order to generate a Let's Encrypt certificate, you must point the domain to your server and not through any proxies (including www and no www).
If you are using CloudFlare then Let's Encrypt will not work, so you need to use another intermediate DNS or use CloudFlare SSL.
To create an SSL certificate, we just need to add the --celencrypt parameter to the ee site create command or the ee site update command if a website exists. For example:
ee site update domain.com --letsencrypt
You will need to wait a few minutes for it to install Let's Encrypt into the server. After installation finished you will see the message as shown below.
Now that you do not need to set up anything in WordPress because it has configured itself using the https protocol on your website, you can just use the SSL Insecure Content Fixer plugin to manually change external links with the http protocol. Set to https to fix blue lock failures.
By default, Let's Encrypt certificates are only valid for 90 days and you must renew when the certificates expire. However, EasyEngine makes a self-running cronjob license renewal so you do not have to worry about problems. This issue (see crontab -l command).
But in some cases, if your server has a problem and you can not execute cronjob then extend it with the following command if you receive an expired certificate warning message from Let's Encrypt:
So simple, just a few simple commands we have a website support https protocol because the current web trend has gradually moved to the https protocol so if you have the opportunity to use offline.
