WP Encrypt
==========

[](#wp-encrypt)

**This plugin is no longer maintained.**

Generate and manage SSL certificates for your WordPress sites (or networks) for free with this Let's Encrypt client.

You can download the latest version from the [WordPress plugin repository](http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-encrypt/). If you prefer to install it from Github, make sure to run `composer install` before using it in order to download the necessary dependencies.

Prerequisites
-------------

[](#prerequisites)

Your WordPress site needs to have the `curl` and `openssl` PHP extensions installed. You also need to ensure that WordPress may write the following locations:

- the directory that will contain the keys and certificates; by default this will be `../letsencrypt` (relative to the site's root directory); this location can be overwritten to any other location by using the constant `WP_ENCRYPT_SSL_CERTIFICATES_DIR_PATH`
- the directory that will contain challenges to verify ownership of a domain; this will be `/.well-known` (relative to the site's root directory); furthermore you need to ensure that this directory is publicly readable

Contributions and Bugs
----------------------

[](#contributions-and-bugs)

If you have ideas on how to improve the plugin or if you discover a bug, I would appreciate if you shared them with me, right here on Github. In either case, please open a new issue [here](https://github.com/felixarntz/wp-encrypt/issues/new) - or create a pull-request to provide a fix for it yourself.

You can also contribute to the plugin by translating it. Simply visit [translate.wordpress.org](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/wp-encrypt) to get started.
