This page is insecure (broken HTTPS) hosting website on 000webhost

2.3k views Asked by At

Changed the general settings of my wordpress website: "WordPress Address (URL)" and "Site Address (URL)" to www.wikipickr.com. After saving when I opened my website the https in url was crossed clicked on it and then details and this was displayed.

Problem Screenshot

What I wanted: I wanted the green padlock to appear before the url which meant that the connection is encrypted. And I wanted visitors to stay on www.wikipickr.com domain not the 000webhost domain I mentioned below, as before changing the setting, they were being redirected to wikipickr.000webhost.com.

Things you might need to know: I own www.wikipickr.com from Go Daddy. I'm actually hosting my website on a free hosting provider, 000webhost. My URL for that site is [wikipickr.000webhostapp.com][3] . I added a CNAME record in my Go Daddy DNS setting to wikipickr.000webhostapp.com and then When I changed the setting from /wp-admin as I mentioned above, The cross mark started appearing. This is my first time hosting a website, feel free to bash me for my stupidity, if any. Thankyou for reading all this.
