How to Enable AutoSSL and Fix HTTPS or Mixed Content Problems Print

AutoSSL in cPanel issues free SSL certificates for domains that resolve correctly to your hosting account. Enable HTTPS only after a valid certificate is active, then fix mixed content in WordPress if needed.

Check SSL/TLS Status

1. Log in to cPanel.
2. Open SSL/TLS Status or SSL/TLS Certificates.
3. Confirm your domain shows a valid certificate or AutoSSL queue status.

Confirm the domain resolves to hosting

• The domain must point to your Pakish server IP or use Pakish nameservers when DNS is managed here.
• For Pakish nameservers use: domainpakistan.mars.orderbox-dns.com, domainpakistan.earth.orderbox-dns.com, and the other domainpakistan.*.orderbox-dns.com hosts shown in your welcome email.

Common validation failures

• DNS not propagated or pointing elsewhere.
• CAA records blocking Let's Encrypt — allow issuance or remove conflicting CAA entries.
• Domain parked on a different server.

Force HTTPS after certificate issuance

1. Use cPanel Domains or SSL/TLS HTTPS redirect options when available.
2. In WordPress, set WordPress Address and Site Address to https:// under Settings → General.

Fix mixed HTTP content

• Install a trusted SSL plugin or replace hard-coded http:// links in content.
• Clear WordPress and browser cache after changes.

Cloudflare SSL mode

When using Cloudflare, set SSL mode to Full or Full (strict) only after a valid origin certificate exists — Cloudflare DNS guide.

Expired or unsecured domains

Renew failed domains in SSL/TLS Status and re-run AutoSSL. Browsers show warnings until a valid certificate is active.

Never disable certificate validation in the browser. If AutoSSL will not run after DNS is correct for 24 hours, contact Pakish support with your domain and a screenshot of SSL/TLS Status.
