 * You can make sure your certificate is good by doing a scan on ssllabs.com/ssltest
   
   If it is good, the plugin probably could not open the testpage, which also can
   cause this message.
 * You can bypass this by changing the url in the browser address bar to https, 
   then hit enter. The plugin will then detect that it is already on SSL, and configure
   your site.

 * You mean the certificate is not good? Then you’ll have to fix that first.
