 * Hello,
 * My wordpress is self hosted but my host does not support Let’sEncrypt within 
   cPanel so I was going to you this plug-in to install one.
 * But during setup of the plug-in I lost access to my WPadmin with 404 errors, 
   so I accessed the plug-in folder on the server and renamed the ssl one and it
   disabled itself and I got back in.
 * So currently I’m using a self signed SSL I created in cPanel, so what is the 
   proper process to remove that and then restart the plug-in setup to install one
   from this plug-in?
 * Thanks
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Finstalled-failed%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

   this plugin and should I re-enable it.
 * Do I delete it and reinstall, or is just activating it again ok

 * Hello Leroy,
 * Now that you’ve purchased a one-year SSL certificate from your host, your site
   has a valid SSL certificate. The only step left in WordPress is to click _Activate
   SSL_ in the plugin dashboard.
 * The plugin will then enforce SSL on the WordPress side, ensuring your site is
   only accessible over HTTPS.
   Kind regards, Mark
