The https is not appearing and also the padlock is not showing on my site. * Can someone help me here? I’m getting really frustrated. * my site url is [http://houseofsarah14.com/](http://houseofsarah14.com/) * Thanks * Caro Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 21 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-https-installation/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-https-installation/page/2/?output_format=md) * [Craig Ralston](https://wordpress.org/support/users/craig-ralston/) * (@craig-ralston) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-https-installation/#post-6244099) * That plugin seems to be pretty outdated (hasn’t been updated in over 2 years and has 3.5.2 listed as highest compatible WP version) but there is a pretty handy FAQ [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-https/faq/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-https/faq/) that may help you. * I typically just put the entire site behind SSL by updating the site url to use https:// which is also discussed in that FAQ linked above. * If you manually type [https://houseofsarah14.com/](https://houseofsarah14.com/) then you will see the padlock. * Thread Starter [mankam23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mankam23/) * (@mankam23) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-https-installation/#post-6244102) * Hi Craig, * Thanks for your message. * It’s strange but I cannot see the padlock.

I thought you were talking about the SSL indicator next to the URL in the browser, not the SiteLock image placed in the footer of your site. * Please clarify what problem you are having. As far as I can tell, you have a valid SSL cert but you are not routing traffic over https:// and in order to do that, you can follow [these steps](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL) to change your site URL to https:// * [Craig Ralston](https://wordpress.org/support/users/craig-ralston/) * (@craig-ralston) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-https-installation/#post-6244138) * I did not see your second post before writing the one above.
