I am running WordPress Multisite on Ubuntu 14.04.
I am using a multi-domain certificate
The certificate is meant for a site within my multisite network (rather than the main domain name of the wordpress server/site).
I followed the Digital Ocean tutorial that can be found at: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-an-ssl-certificate-from-a-commercial-certificate-authority
However, I am NOT forcing redirects from http -> https
Currently the server is delivering a self-signed SSL certificate when I access a page on my site securely (https).
I would appreciate some assistance. I can’t even figure out how to diagnose the problem.

Hello,
In order to redirect http to https for your site, you could add the following rewrite rule in the port 80 Vhost for your domain name:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =example.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =www.example.com
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
As you are using Wordpress, I would recommend updating your site and home URLs to https as well.
Regards, Bobby
