Lack of SSL certificate?

  • Hi! I have a website running on WordPress and after having some (now resolved) issues with my hosting company, I updated the CMS to 4.8 but happened to notice that when you open my website (adampodwika.pl) you get a warning about an SSL certificate.

    I don’t have any knowledge in this area, so anybody here could please help me out? I’ve installed the “Really Simple SSL” plugin, but when I go to its settings, there’s this warning:

    The mixed content fixer is activated, but was not detected on the frontpage. Please follow these steps to check if the mixed content fixer is working.

    Any clues? I really need the website to work properly as it’s one of my main sources of income (I have a photography company).

    You can’t just say “my website is SSL now.” You need to install an SSL certificate first. Contact your host to see if there’s an easy way to enable a free LetsEncrypt certificate.

    Hey Steve!

    I’m only surprised that it happened now because I’ve never had that kind of issue before after updating WordPress. Is there truly no way for me to get the certificate back on my own? I have access to FTP, databases, basically everything.

    Thank you!

    EDIT:

    I googled stuff about that LetsEncrypt thing and my hosting provider did have that installed and everything seems to be fine now. Thank you so much!
