 * I’m having problems after installing the plugin and activating it.
 * When I enter the settings in wordpress and try to activate SSL, the page comes
   all blank and I can’t continue the activation settings.

 * Can you help me please?

 * Hi [@mvsitecreator](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvsitecreator/),
 * In most cases this means that Really Simple SSL’s request to the REST API is 
   blocked. Could you tell us if there are any errors visible in the browser console
   while loading this page?
 * You can open the browser console via right-click -> inspect -> console.
 * Regards, Leon

 * [@mvsitecreator](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvsitecreator/) please check
   if you have set the permalinks to plain. There currently is an issue when permalinks
   are set to plain. When on any other type, it works as expected.

 * [@mvsitecreator](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvsitecreator/) it appears
   the WP Core apiFetch method encodes custom rest api endpoints when used with 
   plain permalinks. As a workaround for this behaviour, I don’t use the WP core
   fetch method when plain permalinks are used. It’s merged on Github, you can use
   the zip from there, or wait for the next update. I think we can do a small patch
   update for this one.

 * [@mvsitecreator](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvsitecreator/) in settings/
   permalinks, you can change the link type to something other than ‘plain’. That
   should resolve the issue. Alternatively you can use above branch, which allows
   using of plain permalinks again.

   follows the options that wordpress gave to me. Wich one did I use?

 * but the alternative that you passed, I have no idea how to do it and I also don’t
   know what will change in this permalink change.

 * It’s currently on plain. It will work with any of the other options. Most commonly
   used is ‘post name’. This will also look better for your site, and is better 
   for seo/search engines as well.
