 * I installed & enforced the ssl certificate through tools.siteground.com.
 * However, when I try to do it via the Siteground Optimizer Plugin – I get ‘Please
   install an SSL certificate first.
 * I find it odd that no solutions for this problem appear online. I cant be the
   only one with this problem.
 * I appreciate any help that I can get with this.

 * In my experience, you don’t need to enforce HTTPS with the plugin if you enforce
   it at tools.siteground.com. If you need to do it with the plugin, make sure the
   SSL certificate is installed but not enforced through tools.siteground.com and
   then enforce it with the SG Optimizer plugin.

 * Hello [@squaremedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/squaremedia/),
 * Currently the domain is not resolving and it is pointed to external NS records.
   So we are marking the case as resolved.
 * Please update the thread in case you point the domain back to your SiteGround
   account and the issue persist, so we can further look into it.
 * Best Regards,
    Elena
