 * Hello, I have tried to enable HTTPS through the plugin but every time I try to
   it says: “Please, install an SSL certificate first!”. I have enabled HTTPS in
   the Site Tools portion of the website and that seems to work. But the website
   suggests enabling through the plugin, please help! Thanks.

 * Thank you for your update!
 * It appears the domain was recently pointed to our servers and there was still
   a DNS propagation on it. Currently the SSL is properly fetched by the plugin 
   and HTTPS can be enabled without issues.
 * You can verify the results on your end.
