SSL not working on WordPress site
I’ve looked through lots of questions on this, but can’t seem to figure this out. I followed the one-click WordPress install and set up a Let’s Encrypt SSL, but https isn’t working on my site, and after following a recommendation to change the URL in the settings within Wordpress from http to https, I can no longer even get into wp-admin (since it’s forwarding to https). The main site works, but only on http. Can anyone give me some guidance?

I ended up starting from scratch with a new droplet. I created the droplet without the SSL, waited a couple hours to make sure the site was working (I kept getting timeout errors bit they resolved after waiting for a bit), then created the SSL cert manually within the console (and again waited… maybe I was just being too impatient). It’s now working. Thanks for the responses.
Hi @caretx,
Thank you for the confirmation, it’s possible the first time you tried it for the domain to still have been propagating and thus LE failing to verify it.
