 * G’day pmajor2401,
 * Where do you get this? e.g. just on this plugin’s settings page, on the SSL Tests
   page, in the whole WordPress Admin, for the whole website front-end, …

 * Hi Ross,
 * I get it on the SSL Test page after running the test.

 * Do you get the green tick next to Tests Completed?
 * Forbidden suggests that your server is configured to prevent running PHP scripts
   directly within plugin folders, as a security measure. If you get the green tick,
   it means that WordPress can detect HTTPS so it doesn’t matter. If you get a red
   cross, or neither a tick nor a cross, there’s a problem.

 * OK, you’re all good then. It’s responding with what the server can see, and it’s
   telling you that WordPress can detect HTTPS. All good, no settings to change.
 * cheers,
    Ross
