Setting up Wordpress with SSL using Laragon
-
Hey Leo, thanks for the help before. I'm here to ask a simple question, or at least what I believe to be easy for you. I've gone ahead and enabled SSL on Laragon and it generated a SSL certificate. I have also enabled SSL in the settings of Laragon. But when forcing Wrodpress to use SSL, it simply says, "This site can’t provide a secure connection.".
Any ideas? What am I doing wrong? I'm using my pc's local ip and accesing the site from another computer. I added the line , "define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);" into wp-config.php

@MightyRufo: What is the Details of the error?
What web server are you using (Nginx, Apache)?
What if you create an empty project and check SSL?
Some pics will be useful.
-
Trying an empty project gives me the same message in google chrome, which is what gave me the "This site cannot provide a secure connection" message. As for error messages, that's the only one I can provide.
What would you like a screenshot of?
-
So it's not Wordpress configuration.
For Chrome click on Details, you'll see exactly the reason. It would be helpful if you test on Firefox (or whatever) also.
-
Chrome says : ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR
The error for Firefox was.. certainly longer haha
-
Are you browsing your project using IP? I've tested Laragon auto-generated SSL feature and see no issue.
You may try creating a self-certificate yourself follow Kurre's instruction here:

@MightyRufo hello, did you solve your problem ? I just installed new Laragon, everything seems that it's working with nginx besides https. I'm getting :
"asd.dev:8443 uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed. Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER"
I created clean project, nginx is added in firewall exceptions, it should work...

I would like to inform that I have that same issue on my another computer. both are working on Windows 10 with newest updates. Maybe it will be helpful in next releases. Have a nice day guys

@MonsterDream : Glad to know that. Nice day

First of all, Log in to your domain registrar and add a CNAME record like below:
Type: CNAME
Host: _acme-challenge
Value: Your WordPress staging URL
Once done, go back to the SSL Certificate tab and click on Verify DNS. It will cross-check the settings and notify you accordingly. Then, click on the INSTALL fffCERTIFICATE button to get a free SSL certificate for WordPress. Also, you should check the WordPress SSL site link with WordPress on Laragon.
