 * I installed my SSL and my host site shows:
    _Installed. DNS Update Completed 
   Your SSL certificate has been installed on your domain. Congratulations! Your
   IP address is: xxx.xxxx.xxx Your secure URL is: [https://testsite.ca](https://testsite.ca)
 * I changed the names in Settings – General to https:// and it I got CFN#0005 and
   the site wouldn’t work. Because I couldn’t get into wp-admin anymore I had to
   go into my config file and force it with:
    define(‘WP_HOME’,’[http://testsite.ca&#8217](http://testsite.ca&#8217););
   define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’[http://testsite.ca&#8217](http://testsite.ca&#8217);); 
   Now it worked and I could get back into my admin but the names in Settings – 
   General are now greyed out and I can’t change anything. If I take out the ‘define’
   code in congig.php I go back to getting CFN#0005. It’s a total mess and I’m so
   frustrated.
 * I’m not showing actual domain because last time I did that on here my client 
   got tons of spam saying they saw their post on a forum and could help them. If
   you think you can help I will message you the domain.
    Thank you!

 * Hi Landlwoof. You have posted this in the support section for a plugin called
   WP Help. The plugin is designed to help you create documentation for your clients
   in the WordPress dashboard. It isn’t a general help area.
 * As for solving your SSL issue, I’d suggest using a plugin such as One Click SSL
   to automate the process.
