From our video you will learn in detail how to connect an SSL certificate, check the site for errors and fix them.
You can connect an SSL certificate from Let’s Encrypt to your website absolutely free of charge. To do this you need to go to your account,
and in the hosting management section click on the button "Add SSL certificate Let's Encrypt".
Also, by default, there is a checkbox for connecting a security certificate when connecting your domain to the site; if you wish, this checkbox can be unchecked.
After successful installation of the certificate, a green padlock will appear next to the domain name.
Why do you need a security certificate?
- When a secure HTTPS connection is established, a security certificate is used to encrypt the data and identify the site.
- It will provide a secure connection that between the server and the user’s browser reliably protects data from substitution and interception.
- An SSL certificate increases the trust of visitors to the site and the company. GlobalSign, based on its research, claims that 84% of users would not make purchases on a site that does not have a secure connection.
- Trust from search engines. HTTPS is one of the ranking factors according to official data.
Possible connection errors
Errors occur when connecting an SSL certificate to sites running WordPress 4.4 and below mixed content.
To resolve these errors, you need to change the paths to your site elements from http:// to https://. You can do this manually or use a special plugin, for example, Really Simple SSL. This plugin will fix problems with http requests on your site and redirect them to https.
Starting with WordPress 4.5, a bug was fixed in the function of generating the "srcset" tag, which overrides the URL at which the element is loaded. For example, it looks like this:
Currently, most browsers define the "srcset" tag as a priority, so mixed content errors only appear in specific situations. Problems with images in the theme and plugins are still possible. Some themes and plugins may prevent you from setting the srcset parameter as needed, or prevent it from being inserted at all.
Also, if you changed the source code of your theme and added loading of any elements, for example, images, it is worth considering that such changes will need to be corrected manually.
Mixed Content Errors
They may appear in cases where a caching plugin is used and incorrect configuration (if the site is not configured to work with https). The reason for this is that the result of processing a request to a site using the HTTP protocol can be cached and given to the visitor who accessed it using the HTTPS protocol.
If you have a similar problem, try:
- Go to “Settings” – “General” and change in the “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)” fields the address of your site so that it starts with https://.
- Delete the entire cache and recreate it again.
- Go to the site in incognito mode and check how everything works.
Problems sometimes arise with any browser. Opera is no exception where SSL errors may occur. Before we figure out how to eliminate it, let's look at why it appears.
Reasons for the error
In most cases, the ssl opera error means that there is a problem with the system. This problem usually indicates that a connection to the server cannot be established. Often the error can be resolved quite simply. It may be caused by an antivirus program or firewall. They can block the connection, which is why it will not be established. In this case, the error will occur not only in Opera, but also in other Internet browsers, for example, also in Google Chrome. You will learn more about the reasons for this error in Google Chrome and how to solve this problem.
In addition, the problem also appears in the opposite case, for example, when the computer is infected. In such a situation, you just need to install an antivirus and scan the system. Also, the causes of the error may be a failure in the time settings or an outdated version of the browser, so it would be useful.
Attention! Often the SSL error is displayed when you want to visit a site with an expired or untrusted certificate. In principle, you can go to the resource, however, such a step entails the possibility of infecting your computer with malware.
Remedies
Once the problem has been diagnosed, you should look at how to get rid of it. So, how to fix the ssl opera error is a fairly common question among novice users. If the problem occurs due to your antivirus program, then to check this, disable it and restart the browser. If everything is fine, you will need to change your antivirus settings. They differ in each program, but the main thing that needs to be done is to add the Internet browser to exceptions and reduce control over incoming and outgoing traffic. The firewall will also need to have a lower level of protection.
Often the cause of an SSL error is an erroneous date on the computer. In order to fix this, you need to click on the date in the tray and set the correct one. Now let's look at what needs to be done directly in the browser. The SSL error can be fixed by going to the Cookies section and checking the box next to the option to store data locally. In addition, we do the following. Open Opera and go to the main menu.
- After that, select Settings.
- In the window that opens, go to the Advanced section.
- On the left side of the window, select Security from the list.
- Click the Security Protocols button.
- Place a highlight next to Enable SSL
- Click OK and restart the browser.
A similar problem may also occur in Windows XP SP2. In this case, you can get rid of it if you update the version to SP3. It is also necessary to add that, which will reduce the risk of errors. It is also worth running a system scan for viruses from time to time.
As you can see, an SSL error in Opera, like in any other browser, can usually be fixed quite simply. The main thing is to find the reason why it appeared. This could be either a date failure on the computer or a change in browser settings. In some cases, the easiest way is to set the default settings and check if the error remains. If it still appears, then you need to disable your antivirus, because it is often the one that blocks the connection to a particular site. In rare cases, the error appears due to the computer being infected with malware. In such a situation, it will be necessary to scan the files and delete or quarantine the infected ones.
Here's a typical question:
Error 107 appears when accessing https://vk.com/. When you try to log in, a message appears: "Cannot log in via a secure connection. Most often, this happens when the current date and time are set incorrectly on your computer. Please check the date and time settings on the system and restart the browser."
Date and time are correct. The hosts file is also normal. There are no viruses. Reinstalling Chrome didn't help.
Here we suggest how to fix an SSL connection error connecting to vk.com or other sites. For example, a secure connection to the server cannot be created. There may be a problem on the server, or a client authentication certificate is needed, which you do not have and is issued:
Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): SSL protocol error.
Such VK ssl errors or yandex, google ssl errors can often occur if you do not solve some problems. Here are some guidelines to resolve the SSL error. So, if you encounter an SSL error, try these steps:
- Check if the date and time on your computer are set correctly.
- In your antivirus settings, try temporarily disabling HTTPS protocol checking
- If the problem occurs on Windows XP SP2, update it to SP3.
SSL protocol error This often happens with the Eset Smart Security 5 antivirus, which incorrectly filters the https protocol. You need to disable https check and everything should work.
If everything is fine with SSL on the site, then most likely the problem is that Kaspersky or Avast intercept SSL connections and then proxy them to the browser using their crooked certificate. A normal browser will display an error warning about a MITM attack. You should try disabling SSL connection checking.
Often, if there is an SSL error, all installed browsers refuse to work. The only way out- this is to use standard IE, which in 90% of cases does not produce such an error. This browser can be used until a solution to the problem is found. In simple words, an SSL error indicates that a connection to the server cannot be established for some reason.
As noted above, you need to check the settings of your antivirus, since it can block connections, which is why all the problems arise. You may need to add your browser to exceptions and set less stringent controls on incoming and outgoing traffic.
- Check your firewall settings. If necessary, lower the protection level.
- Also at Google, an SSL connection error can occur when you do not have an antivirus program and the system is infected. In principle, this can be solved either by reinstalling the OS or by scanning the system for infected files.
- The time settings are lost. Consequently, a discrepancy is detected on the server, and the connection is determined to be unreliable or insecure.
- An outdated browser is also a cause of SSL errors.

SSL- this is the name of the cryptographic protocol that ensures the security of the communication connection.
When you receive an “SSL error” while surfing the Internet, this may indeed mean that someone is accidentally or deliberately trying to obtain the data you are sending to the Internet. But it’s not always worth being afraid and trying to fix an SSL error right away. Often, such an error can only mean incorrect browser settings, interception of connections by your own antivirus (the antivirus is mistaken for an attacker, and you shouldn’t be afraid of the data it receives), or in general there are problems not with you, but with the site you are trying to access.
If you still have the slightest doubt, it is better to reconnect to the Internet, log in from a different browser and check if the SSL connection error appears in this case.
Let's look at possible options for fixing SSL errors in specific situations.
How to fix SSL error in Google Chrome and Yandex browser.
So, you are unable to access this or that site - a problem with the security certificate “pops up”. As already mentioned, there is no need to worry - first, just reconnect and change the browser. If the error continues to appear, then:
- Check that the Date and Time are set correctly on your computer;
- Completely scan your computer for viruses;
- Check your antivirus settings carefully. It has already been said that it is the antivirus that a “frightened” browser can often mistake for an attacker and rush to the owner’s defense. Usually the problem here is checking the https protocol, try to find it in your antivirus and disable it (if you don’t know where, help and search the Internet by the name of your antivirus program will help). In general, disabling this check will have virtually no effect on the functionality of your antivirus software. If the ssl error continues to appear, try disabling the antivirus altogether for a short time (if this doesn’t help, then it’s definitely not the problem, if it helps cure it, maybe it’s worth changing the security program).
- Try updating your operating system and browser to the latest versions;
- Try creating a new user in your operating system and accessing sites through him;
- Try logging in from a different IP address or even a computer;
- If you cannot fix the SSL error, try combining several of the above methods at once.
If all this does not help resolve the ssl error, you can disable SSL checking in the browser, but this may not be entirely secure. It’s better to study all the information about the suspicious site before doing this.
Resolving SSL errors on a tablet is a much more pressing issue than on a computer.
The fact is that, starting with Android 2.3, encryption algorithms on tablets have become noticeably weaker and the likelihood of them being decrypted by attackers (i.e. gaining access to your data) is much higher. This leads to a not very favorable situation:
- firstly, SSL errors can very easily occur where in fact there is no danger;
- secondly, on the contrary, truly experienced hackers can force the protocol to trust certificates where the danger occurs.
Basic security measures and error resolution are given above and many of them are suitable for tablets, but if you value the security of certain data, for now it is better to refrain from entering it on tablets unless absolutely necessary on suspicious sites.
