    hello,

    I’m using AWS Lightsail and WordPress by Bitnami.
    after installing really simple ssl, it show wp-config.php is not writeable, I changed the file permissions which is set to 640 by Bitnami to 644 but it still not working.
    I tried more permissions and I found that Really simple ssl requires wp-config.php to be 664 or above.
    I don’t know how to fix this problem, should I set wp-config.php permissions to 664 although it should be 644 According to WordPress – or 640 according to Bitnami?

    2nd question: is this healthy to set it to 664 ??

    Usually 644 should be enough. Alternatively, you can manually add the lines to the wpconfig file. The lines that should be added can be found in the tasks list on your dashboard.

    After adding the lines, the notice should go away. Please visit your SSL settings page to ensure the notices cache is cleared.

    and there is no code on the task list to be added, only notices

    For Really Simple SSL 644 is sufficient. 664 is not recommended. If setting it to 644 is not enough, I think the system setup doesn’t allow it to be edited automatically. In that case I’d recommend to do the changes manually.

    ok, I’ll do it manually
    but, where is the code ? I can’t see code in my dashboard
    do you mean the code in this link ?

    I added the code in the link I mentioned in wp-config.php, nothing changed and the notice still displayed

    @mukape what exactly is the notice about the wp-config you see? Then I can check what it’s about.

    @mukape, this means the site and/or home url are defined in your wp-config with a http url. You can change them manually to https.

    @mukape The above should resolve your issue, so I’m closing the thread, but let me know if you have any other questions.
