All users required to have HTTPS in Wordpress
Just thought I'd share this. Good thing HTTPS is a feature available to us on WA.
Wordpress will require users to have their site in HTTPS. So it may be a good practice to set your site up that way first.

I only recently changed over and my site (as a few others) the Traffic fell right off but I am sure it will get itself sorted out. I am just pressing on and keeping consistent!

I also had to set up a redirect plugin so my site pointrd to https which in turn makes is a slower. Don't think I can do anything about that.
OUCH
Best way is to treat the https as a new site and then have it reindexed just go to google and add new property

Yah I did that traffic still isn't the same. I find that odd but maybe it was a good thing because it deters bots.
That's a good feature to put in an add when we're advertising WA to get referrals! Because every WordPress site is going to need that!

Hi, Dawna! It's great to be a member of WA! Kyle and Carson certainly had our best interests in mind when they provided everyone who uses the free Wordpress interfaces for their websites with this ability to convert to this different security technology.
In case new members who recently joined have an issue with completing the set-up in changing the site over to https://, Marion Black provided great training on how to do this. Unfortunately, it does take a bit of doing to complete the entire process.
However, truly it is not all that difficult to do. Here is Marion's training that she provided for all members here at WA several months ago: SSL: Activation, No Padlock, Mixed Content and Google Search Console .
