Help with the setup SSl

After install ... how to setup SSL

[Toucan Web Design]

Once the SSL is installed (which is all through your hosting account generally), all you should need to do is go into admin, general settings, and set the SSL to on, and put in the right paths.

Be very careful and make sure the SSL is definitely set up correctly first though, as setting it on when it isn't installed correctly can lock you out of your admin. Best bet is try manually changing the urls to https a few times in the admin and site, to confirm that they don't have any errors.

Taking a backup of the database to revert to can help restore the site if you get locked out when setting it live
