Recently I posted that I would purchase SSL certificates and convert both this blog and my website to https:\/\/ more secure protocol.<\/p>\nRecently I posted that I would purchase SSL certificates and convert both this blog and my website to https:\/\/ more secure protocol.<\/p>\n
I did that. The results…
\n
\n…were awful. When I did it for my blog, the directions said that I should install code into an .htaccess file to direct presentation of the blog as https:\/\/. It worked! I saw the blog as https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com. <\/p>\n
However, no images appeared anywhere. The header image, as well as all images in all blog posts<\/u> were not visible.<\/p>\n
I googled for information on how to fix it, and was directed to download a plug-in. I found it, installed it, activated it, and not only did I NOT see images on the blog, I could not even log on to the blog to write on it (or moderate comments.)<\/p>\n
I spent (or shall I say wasted) three friggin’ HOURS and tried about 20 different things, none of which worked. I could restore log-on, but no images. I could get images, but no log-on. I could get images and log-on, but no https:\/\/<\/p>\n
Being a glutton for punishment, I tried similarly to install the certificate on http:\/\/www.bootedman.com. It also failed. No matter what I did to try to fix it, it only made it worse.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, I kept a full backup of both the website and the blog, so I restored each of them to previous settings, then jumped out the window.<\/p>\n
Well, almost.<\/p>\n
The sun finally came out on Sunday, so with the Spouse’s okay, I jumped on the Harley and went for a head-clearing ride.<\/p>\n
I hate this… I am not a technology geek and am rather frustrated. I will wait and try again in another week or two and see what I can work out. Or not.<\/p>\n
Life is short: know when you are over your head and when it’s time to quit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
