Subdirectory /wp/wordpress

    Hello,

    I have a problem to activate SSL on my wordpress site.
    After activating the plugin i get “Detected possible certificate issues” message.

    If i click on “Reload over https” i get a “can’t reach page” browser error message.

    The wordpress installation is in a subdirectory /wp/ which i guess is the problem. I tried on a different wordpress installation without the /wp/ directory and it worked perfectly fine (same host).

    …myexamplewebsite.com/wp/wordpress-root/ ; not working
    …myexamplewebsite.com/wordpress-root/ ; plugin worked fine

    I don’t have a multipage, it’s just that i made the mistake long time ago and uploaded all files to the /wp/ folder instead in the root directory.

    This is the debug message:

    Options:
    * Mixed content fixer
    SERVER: apache
    SSL is not yet enabled for this site
    ** Detecting configuration **
    plugin version: 3.0.5
    Check SSL by retrieving SSL certificate info

    Am i guessing correct or is there maybe another mistake? Thanks

    Hi,

    having your WordPress installation in a subdirectory shouldn’t matter for SSL, if the site works on http:// it should also work on https://.

    Possibly there is an issue with the server configuration or your certificate. Can you check if the certificate checks out here https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/?

    If the certificate checks out you can enable debugging in WordPress as described here: https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Debugging_in_WordPress. That might provide a more detailed error to work with, the can’t reach page error is to generic to pinpoint an exact cause.
