Let's Encrypt and Wordpress and SMF

[digiSal]

The whole site is now running SSL. I followed this guide by digital ocean:

I was still getting an insecure warning in chrome but after using Chrome's inspector I found that it didnt like that all the attachments in wordpress were still using http. It gets redirected but it still didn like it.

Velvet URL Blues to the rescue:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/velvet-blues-update-urls/
I must've used it once before since it was already installed but deactivated. Had it replace http with https and fixed the errors.

Then, this forum broke! All I had to do was run the repair_settings.php to update the URL to https. Here is a neat trick. I have the repair_settings.php file sitting in my dropbox. I SSH into my server and grab it with wget. Works like a charm every time!
