# [Plugin: WordPress HTTPS (SSL)] SSL on hostgator addon domain

 * I have installed this plugin on [http://www.realestate401kplan.com](http://www.realestate401kplan.com)
   and set the options accordingly but I am still not able to get any SSL to work.
   The domain is an addon domain on host gator which means that it is not the primary
   domain but a secondary. The path for the shared SSL on the primary is [https://secure995.hostgator.com/~planpro](https://secure995.hostgator.com/~planpro)
   and my wordpress site is supposed to be at [https://secure995.hostgator.com/~planpro/realestate401kplan.com/](https://secure995.hostgator.com/~planpro/realestate401kplan.com/)
   
   I have forced only one post to be SSL and its address is [http://realestate401kplan.com/fanpage/first-fan-page-test/](http://realestate401kplan.com/fanpage/first-fan-page-test/)
   so the SSL address is supposed to resolve correctly at [https://secure995.hostgator.com/~planpro/realestate401kplan.com/fanpage/first-fan-page-test/](https://secure995.hostgator.com/~planpro/realestate401kplan.com/fanpage/first-fan-page-test/)
   But it does not. Any ideas?

 * Hey mjefferson96,
 * I’m seeing a 404 header being thrown at [https://secure995.hostgator.com/~planpro/realestate401kplan.com/](https://secure995.hostgator.com/~planpro/realestate401kplan.com/)
   so that tells me that it’s probably not set up correctly. Unfortunately I can’t
   be of much help there.
 * Once that’s working correctly, if the page gives you the WordPress page not found
   error, try disabling custom permalinks.
 * Thanks,
    Mike

 * does this mean you can your custom permalinks with this plugin?

 * Hey tom-accent,
 * It means you can’t use custom permalinks with that particular Shared SSL. Even
   if you didn’t use the plugin, custom permalinks wouldn’t work. You’ll need to
   use a Shared SSL that works properly, or purchase an SSL Certificate.
 * Thanks,
    Mike
