HI!

I'm totally new here and would very much like support regarding 2 questions:

> How can I increase the Maximum Upload Limit Set By Direct Admin? As my WordPress shows that this is the reason why I cannot upload media on my wordpress page. The maximum is now 2 mb and this is way too little for pictures etc.

> How can I change my http website to https? I've tried to install plugins like really simple ssl but seem to get stuck and at a certain point and couldn't even reach my own wordpress website any longer (is fixed now but I am afraid I will have the same issue again). I think it was because of settings on my Direct Admin, but do not get how this works.

A bit of context: I've taken over the task of updating the website etc of our organisation and if possible would be willing to pay for proper support from Direct Admin, but cannot go into the ticket system (I suppose we do not have an extensive license).

Thank you so much in advance for helping me at the beginnings of my Wordpress/Direct Admin endeavours!
Kind regards,
Lois

Don't do that, you don't need that.

Check if Letsencrypt is installed and if not install it:

Let's Encrypt For Domains | Directadmin Docs

DirectAdmin Knowledge Base
docs.directadmin.com

On new directadmin versions it's enabled by default. And on the SSL section you should be able to just select the SSL options.
If you use your own nameservers (no external) on your server, then normall the domain will automatically get wildcard certificates once the domain is synched true DNS.

Under USER --> PHP Settings --> upload_max_filesize = 128M

Under USER --> SSL Certificates --> Get automatic certificate from ACME Provider --> select whatever you want to generate a cert for, and click on save

then

Under USER --> Domain setup --> CHECK Force SSL with https redirect

Then, use your wordpress plugin to set it with .301 redirect in htaccess.
