In this video, I show how to use a free Cloudflare account and this free WordPress plugin to secure your domain with SSL. The video also shows how to get the green “secure” icon by adjusting your url paths with this plugin
(Note: if you ever cant reach your /wp-admin/ then go to yourdomain.com/wp-login.php? instead)
(Note 2: this video and these instructions *do not* apply to a subdomain)
