Questions the author answers
Does installing the plugin will instantly turn my site https?
Installing SSL certificate is a server side process and not as straight forward as installing a ready widget and using it instantly. You will have to follow some simple steps to install SSL for your WordPress site. Our plugin acts like a tool to generate and install SSL for your WordPress site.
How to temporarily disable HTTPS redirect
By adding below line of code to your wp-config.php file, All SSL enforcements like HSTS, Upgrade insecure requests, redirect to HTTPS, mixed content fixer will be disabled. Please check your .htaccess file for any other HTTPS enforcement related codes and remove it.
define(“WPLE_DISABLE_HTTPS”);
I already have SSL certificate installed, how to activate HTTPS?
If you already have SSL certificate installed, You can use WP Encryption plugin purely for HTTPS redirection & SSL enforcing purpose. All you need to do is enable “Force HTTPS” feature in this plugin.
Secure webmail & email server with an SSL/TLS Certificate
Starting from WP Encryption v5.4.8, you can now secure your webmail & incoming/outgoing email server following this guide
How to install SSL for both www & non-www version of my domain?
First of all, Please make sure you can access your site with and without www. Otherwise you will be not able to complete domain verification for both www & non-www together. If both are accessible, You will see “Generate SSL for both www & non-www” option on SSL install form. Otherwise, this option will be hidden.
Unable to check “Generate SSL for both www & non-www domain”?
Please make sure you can access your site with and without www. Otherwise you will be not able to complete domain verification for both www & non-www together. You can also force enable this checkbox by appending includewww=1 to page url i.e., /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wp_encryption&includewww=1

Where this page's numbers come from
Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin.
