PROGRAMMING

Bit of a dumb question...

Trying to make some booking forms on a wordpress site secure so I can ask for credit card details.

I found a plugin called Wordpress HTTPS which can just make certain pages of my site https, and sounds ideal.

And it seems too simple. If I do that, will the page be secure to send credit card details? I expected the process to be far more painful, and am seeking some reassurance

thanks

No worries. I have discovered where the pain lies. Hostgator and addon accounts vs reseller accounts.

Ah, what fun lies ahead.

  In order to make SSL work on your website, you have to do more than install a WP plugin (that will be the last step).
  
  You have to create a SSL certificate and "add" it to your server. I think you will need an unique IP and not a shared IP, in case you want to do this.
  
  I have done the same steps once using hostgator+a dedicated IP+a free SSL certificate from StartCom Free SSL Certification Authority to secure a clients online shop.

  Hi Andre
  
  Thanks for your reply. And thanks for the link. Lots of good advice there
  Yep, the domain I wanted to add SSL to is an addon domain, and while I could apply the cert just to that domain, it does make things tricky in the future if I ever want another of my domains to have a cert too.
  So now I'm moving stuff around.
  Urgh.
  Thanks anyway
