changing website home address

Hello and thanks for contacting us. You can change the site to include https://www by editing the site and home URL from the Settings > General section.  You’ll need to ensure you have a valid SSL certificate before to ensure there are no errors. Depending on your code, you may want to use a plugin such as Really Simple SSL to force the website to HTTPS without a mixed content error.

Hello Loren. If you are running your website on a cPanel server you may be able to obtain an SSL Certificate for free. Many hosting companies and third party companies offer SSLs for sale as well. Using the plugin Really Simply SSL does not install an SSL, rather it will just help you redirect the website using https://, assuming you have an SSL already installed. I hope this helps!
