The Best Choice for Multisite 👍

By sevenkeyboard on February 14, 2025

I'm using Bluehost's VPS and setting up a multisite in WordPress.
However, applying HTTPS to the multisite turned out to be quite tricky.
Even after searching on Google, the available information was quite limited.
It took me a long time just to figure out that I needed a wildcard certificate.
Then, I happened to come across the WP Encryption plugin, and it solved my problem perfectly.
I don’t usually leave reviews, but I wanted to express my gratitude.
Thank you for developing such an amazing plugin! 😁
