When requesting your SSL certificate there are a few things that you need to be aware of before even attempting to add it to WordPress.
*The domain needs to be correctly added for the website i.e. allnonebxpsoftware.ie com is not the same as www.allnonebxpsoftware.iecom*When filling out the SSL details use the www. version as this will cover allnonebxpsoftware.ie com and www.allnonebxpsoftware.iecom
*A technical contact email is required, only certain email boxes are allowed so you may need to create a new one.
*Your SSL provider will tell you which email addresses are allowed.
*You will need to create or request a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) for the certificate, this can be done from cPanel in your hosting or requested from your website administrator.*Instructions on how to create the CSR can be found by clicking below. Generate a CSR[[http://www.bxpsoftware.com/wixi/index.php?title=Generating_a_New_Cetificate_Signing_Request_(CSR)]]
Click upload certificate and now the certificate will be live in your WordPress site.
