WP2SSL (WordPress 2 SSL): Move WordPress from HTTP to HTTPs. Automatically.

(c) 2017 Madalin Tache

http://github.com/niladam/wp2ssl

A bash script that tries to automate the moving from HTTP to HTTPS, by doing most of the heavy lifting using WP-CLI.

What it does

It creates a backup of your current database first. It then replaces all instances of http with https on the current WordPress install, and updates .htaccess to force to HTTPS.

What it doesn't do (yet, or never)

It cannot update all theme/plugin files to be requested using HTTPS. If a plugin is using HTTP for the load, you will get mixed content warnings in your browser. If you're looking for a solution to these cases i suggest you check out Really Simple SSL

Installing

Install with:

curl -sSL https://wp2ssl-installer.includes.io | bash

Updating

If you want to update the script you can use two options. Either run the same command as the install (will auto-update if needed), or use the built-in updater

wp2ssl --up

wp2ssl --self-update

Using

For now, the plugin will only function if called from the main WordPress folder.

Use with:

cd /home/someuser/public_html
wp2ssl

    [FLAGS]
        --up, --self-update         Self update this script to the latest version.
                                    Uses curl if available and fallsback to wget,
                                    if curl is missing.

        --h, --help                 This help screen.

Does it work ?

The script has been tested on a fresh WordPress install and it worked out of the box. So i guess YES !:)

TODO

Bulk run ?
Identify scripts/javascripts and force them to use HTTPS ?
Suggest and/or install Really Simple SSL after use?
Suggest and/or run backup before attempting the database changes ? Since #a854614 the plugin runs an export and archives the database dump. Just to be safe :)
Force WP-ADMIN SSL after run ?

Notes

Some of the functionality in this script were originally built for WPEB - WordPress Easy Backup, another script that might be of your interest.
