 * Hi,
    I successfully installed the plugin and have converted my site to https.(
   Thanks for the plugin :-))
 * The issue is that the cron.php program returns a HTML page indicating a 405 error.
   I have not found any clear documentation after a quick Web Search.
 * I am using WordPress 5.6 which I installed on an Ubuntu Linux 20.04 platform 
   if that helps.
 * Kind regards,
    CB
