SSL Not Working
Common Issues and Fixes
"Not Secure" Warning
- SSL certificate may not be installed
- Go to cPanel > SSL/TLS Status to check

Certificate Not Installing (AutoSSL)
- Verify domain DNS points to your hosting server (A record or nameservers)
- No CAA record blocking: check DNS for CAA records
- Wait up to 24 hours after DNS change for AutoSSL to run

- Check for hardcoded http:// URLs in your website code
- WordPress: Settings > General > Change both URLs to https://
- Use a plugin like "Really Simple SSL" to fix automatically
