Time to get somewhat technical on all of you: I’ve just managed to switch my site to a “https://” page.
Every single month, I try to tweak the different parts of my site, to keep it lighter, to make sure that I have enough space for all my posts and whatever else. And then to update the security. I’ve tried a number of times to make sure that I get the secure connection. I want that lock icon at the left hand side of my menu bar to show LOCKED.
It should like this for you and me now, because it’s finally on HTTPS.
I dug through my website’s back end, I searched and renewed as many certificates as I could (within the free range of course lol), and all to no avail. I was so angry at the site, and at my own back end ability to manage a webspace. I even contemplated going to Square Space. Forgive me WordPress Overlords.
But today, I decided for some reason to click on that portion that says “You have 1 security issue to work on.” I’ve passed it many, many, many times, because I’ve always assumed: It’s gonna tell me that I need to add security on my site. But today I clicked it, and it resolved this super longstanding issue for me. It updated my security certificates, and FINALLY, finally, the site is locked.
So thank you WordPress, for making it that simple. I appreciate you, and I will continue blogging with you as much as I can. Daily, at best.
