SSL certificate errors in cPanel mean your browser cannot verify a trusted HTTPS connection for the domain you are visiting. Open SSL/TLS Status or AutoInstall SSL, confirm the domain shows a valid certificate, run AutoSSL if expired or missing, and verify DNS A records point to your hosting server before forcing HTTPS redirects. Never disable certificate validation or accept permanently unsafe connections.
For mail-client SSL warnings (Outlook), see Outlook configuration known issues. Website SSL starts with our cPanel beginner's guide.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Domain | example.com and www.example.com if used |
| DNS access | Zone Editor or external DNS panel |
| Backup | Export .htaccess before adding HTTPS redirects |
Create or confirm a usable backup first. Availability and limits may vary by hosting plan or server configuration.
| Status | Meaning | Action | |---|---|---| | Secured | Valid certificate installed | Test HTTPS in browser | | Expired | Certificate past validity date | Run AutoSSL | | Unsecured | No valid certificate | Run AutoSSL; check DNS | | Self-signed | Untrusted cert | Replace via AutoSSL |
Wait 5–15 minutes, then refresh the status page.
AutoSSL validates domain control via HTTP or DNS challenges. Your domain must resolve correctly:
example.com → your hosting IPwww.example.com if you use wwwUse a DNS checker to confirm resolution before re-running AutoSSL.
A CAA record tells certificate authorities which CAs may issue certificates for your domain. If CAA blocks Let's Encrypt, AutoSSL fails.
Some cPanel interfaces let you include or exclude domains from AutoSSL. Ensure your production domain is included and not excluded by mistake.
Subdomains like mail.example.com may need separate certificates for mail clients. Website AutoSSL does not always fix Outlook SSL warnings — see Outlook SSL troubleshooting.
If HTTPS works but the browser shows Not Secure or a broken padlock:
http://https://http:// links in content, themes, or widgetsAfter fixing SSL:
WordPress: Install an SSL plugin or add redirects only after SSL/TLS Status shows secured.
.htaccess example (Apache, after backup):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]If redirects cause a loop or error:
.htaccess via File Managerhttp:// temporarily if neededhttps://example.com| Error | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID | Expired certificate | Run AutoSSL |
| NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID | Cert issued for wrong hostname | Include correct domain/www in AutoSSL |
| AutoSSL fails | DNS not pointing here | Fix A record; wait for propagation |
| Too many redirects | HTTP+HTTPS redirect loop | Fix .htaccess and WordPress URL settings |
| CAA error | CAA blocks CA | Update CAA in Zone Editor |
Contact support for dedicated IP requests, persistent AutoSSL failures after DNS is correct, wildcard certificate needs, or if you suspect server-level SSL misconfiguration. Visit /pro-support or /support.
Open cPanel, go to Security, then SSL/TLS Status or AutoInstall SSL. Your domain should show a valid certificate with a future expiration date. Run AutoSSL if the status shows unsecured or expired.
Mixed content loads some assets over HTTP while the page is HTTPS. Use browser developer tools to find insecure resources and update URLs to HTTPS or relative paths.
A CAA DNS record limits which certificate authorities may issue certs for your domain. If CAA blocks your CA, AutoSSL validation fails until you add or correct the CAA record in Zone Editor.
No. Enable HTTPS redirects in WordPress or .htaccess only after SSL/TLS Status shows a valid certificate for your domain and www subdomain if you use it.
Mail client SSL warnings often involve mail subdomain certificates, not website SSL. See our Outlook configuration troubleshooting guide for mail-specific certificate fixes.
