Hi @fork01 I’d like to help you with this. What is the point where you got stuck?
Do you see any error messages?
The let’s encrypt wizard is specifically created for self hosted WordPress, but sometimes boaters block some things. What hosting company are you on?

so I’m using a server at home, I also use google dns. I get rsa export failed when trying to generate the keys
@fork01 This is a server configuration issue. This is typically caused by an issue with the OpenSSL configuration which needs to be resolved first.
I came across some references stating that a path in the openSSL config might be incorrect. It migth also help to update or re-install OpenSSL.

SO I installed the certificate manually but the plugin is not getting anything. I also added the recommended rewrite.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/acme-challenge/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
to the /htaccess file where the site files are and the plugin is not picking it up.

I actually got it working but the status for certificate shows as “certificate issue” but it still works and the cert is valid
If you share your domain I can check the certificate for you.
Based on this:https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=luxaark.com
The certificate is fine, but your server supports tls 1.0 and 1.1, which is not secure.
As this is configured on the server, Really Simple SSL can’t disable that for you.
If you disable it, this issue will be resolved.

I have everything working now, I am starting to like the plugin so I do rescind my 1 start. However, I’m having an issue where the hsts headers are in the htaccess file but the plugin is not detecting it.

i am though receiving an issue on two of other sites that I host where hsts header is not detected and it’s not changing
Do you get the hsts header here?
