 * ssl Test fails
    according to the instructions I do not need to alter any code,
   this a managed word press using a godaddy ssl cert
 * It is a managed word press. I applied and bought an ssl from Godaddy. this was
   3 days ago. and even after initiating the plug in on the dash board:
 * WP Force SSL
    WP Force SSL is a one-click solution that helps redirect visitors
   from unsecure HTTP connection to a secure HTTPS one without the need to edit 
   any code. There’s nothing to configure, just by activating the plugin everything
   is enabled and configured. Requirements for running a site on SSL If you already
   have an SSL certificate installed TEST IT to make sure it works. If you don’t
   have one get quality hosting that offers free certificates and installation.
 * Make sure “Force SSL” option below is enabled (green). (AND IT IS GREEN)
    Check
   that WP Address & Site Address settings have an https:// prefix set.
 * AFTER PRESSING THE TEST IT:
 * Test Failed
    cURL error 35: error:14077438:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:
   tlsv1 alert internal error

 * [@fredlwood](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fredlwood/) the ssl is not configured
   correctly on your server. Beside that, and taking a look into the error, it seems
   also the ssl stuff is also not updated on that server.
 * Ask your host provider to configure correctly the ssl for you and update openssl
   to last versions… That error is coming inside the server and not from the plugin
   itself.
 * If you search google about **tlsv1 alert internal error** you will see that this
   is not plugin or wordpress related but server related.

    Since the server is Godaddy.com, they should 
   be correcting this issue. Hence despite my two chat sessions with them has not
   helped I’m at a standstill til they get it figured out, thank you for your update
   and the time you took to look at this for me
