You need to get an SSL Certificate and add it to your domain. You can get one here:
http://letsencrypt.org/
Then go to menu “Settings -> General” and update your WordPress and site URL address fields.
Finally set a redirect using .htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R,L]
</IfModule>
I think what you heard is wordpress.com is providing https support. This is unrelated to wordpress.org self-hosted sites. That support is made possible through partnering between Automattic and Let’s Encrypt. You can get your own free SSL certificate through Let’s Encrypt right now. Support of such certificates depends on your host and hosting plan. If you have shell access, it should work fine.
BTW, I de-linked your domain link. We do not allow signatures in these forums and yours is a borderline case. I don’t think a signature link was your intent, but it sort of looked like one.
Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
I understand removing the domain link, didn’t mean for it to seem that way, just wanted to show that it was still http and not secured. Let me give this a shot 🙂
