# Problem moving WP site to https

 * [6 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-moving-wp-site-to-https/)
 * I would like to make the WP site at [http://captionpro.com.au:443/AlekaConsulting](http://captionpro.com.au:443/AlekaConsulting)
   use https and be accessed by users entering captionpro.com.au/AlekaConsulting
   in their web browsers. I have purchased and installed an SSL certificate, which
   appears when I create a new https binding on the web site using IIS Manager on
   port 444. (I am prepared to use a different port number for the https web site,
   though I would prefer not to.) when I try and access the web site using [https://captionpro.com.au:444/AlekaConsulting](https://captionpro.com.au:444/AlekaConsulting)
   from a browser on the server hosting the Web site I get the message “This site
   can’t provide a secure connection”.
    The purchased SSL certificate comprised 
   4 files namely
 *     ```
       AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt
       captionpro_com_au.crt
       USERTrustRSAAddTrustCA.crt
       USERTrustRSADomainValidationSecureServerCA.crt
       ```
   
 * I try and use a plug-in such as Really Simple SSL for the conversion is says 
   that I do not have an SSL certificate installed. Clicking the button to reload
   over SSL shows the ‘This site cannot provide a secure connection’ message.
 * I successfully added all these certificates to the WebHosting certificate store
   via MMC->Certificates, and IISManager shows captionpro.com.au as an installed
   certificate for the web site.
 * The Web server also hosts an ASPX application bound to port 80. If I create an
   additional https binding to port 81, I can access the application via [https://captionpro.com.au:81](https://captionpro.com.au:81).
 * Can anyone suggest what I need to do in order to access my WordPress site via
   https?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fproblem-moving-wp-site-to-https%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I found that I was able to use Really Simple SSL to install an SSL certificate
   and convert the site to use https after I changed the WordPress Settings-> General-
   > WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) to [https://captionpro.com.au:444/AlekaConsulting](https://captionpro.com.au:444/AlekaConsulting)
