Great video. Very well explained and easy to follow. It was as simple as changing the https to http as you said because of the pending ssl that got it all to work for me. Thank you
This video is helpful in so many ways! Thank you good sir!! Liked & Subed
You just saved my job!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH RAY!
That's a big compliment, haha. No problem!
You sir just saved my life THANK YOU!
AWESOME VIDEO!!! Thank you so much. I am working on building a directory website with a corresponding app. So something like Facebook with a Instagram feel to it (if that makes any sense). I'm completely new to this and wordpress is super intimidating to me but I am willing to learn. Thanks again for the vids!
thank you very much. i was looking for where the problem is. i know where the problem is becuase of you. but i still have the same problem because instead of having `` pending`` i have ``attention``. please help
Thank you!
Hello teacher my website is Wordpress offline in my pc so when I paid the domain how installed website offline in my pc htdocs c drive I think select file manager Am I right? 👋👋
Every time I click onto my domain name it says this site can’t be reached so why is this happening? And it says that the site is active now not pending
So my understanding from this video is to click onto my website and it should show up and then I start adding everything and building the website up is that correct?
God bless you!
Ok how do we make this load and work with a iMac? I am going crazy trying to make this work. Thanks.
I'm not sure what you mean, HostGator gives you hosting so your home computer and/or operating system don't affect your site. You can manage it through the web!
Can you tell how to remove that hostgator marketplace on the dashbord of WordPress.
Probably deleting the plugins, that's usually where any unnecessary stuff comes from that some hosting companies pre-install.
Thanks for you video! My SSL certificate status is attention. What is wrong?
Not sure, I'd reach out to HG's customer service, they should be able to give you a better update!
hello! can you tell me how long does it take my ssl to be approved. thank you.
Usually within 24 hours. I think when I recorded this video it was pending for a few hours which is why I went ahead with installing on HTTP and making the switch to HTTPS manually with WordPress.
@@RayDelVecchio for me this is the 3rd day and it is still pending
Gotcha - I'd reach out to their support and see if they can help.
@@RayDelVecchio thank you ❤
Hi Ray!! I followed all the instrutions but I still have a problem... when i install wordpress and they give me the admin URL it doesnt work... can you help me with that. I dont know if is because my Domain Pending: Provisioning in progress.
Yes, like I mention in the video, the domain name doesn't link up with HostGator's server until that provisioning is complete. Just wait it out, should be within 24 hours!
@@RayDelVecchio ok. Ill wait. It is just a bit weird because all the videos I saw people just install wordpress and they click on the link admin Url link and it works. But its ok. Im just going to wait. thanks for answering me. :D
Editing my friend, haha. No problem. Just contact HG customer service if you have any issues after the domain is provisioned and the SSL is ready!
hello i just bought a host and domain from hostgator , i went directly to quick install wordpress with a pending ssl request, once i logged in to wordpress the admin panel has opened but when i refresh or if i want to login again an error popup :
Sorry, this page doesn't exist.
Please check the URL or go back a page.
404 Error. Page Not Found.
Do you think because the SSL is not activated and chrome is blocking this website ? please reply asap
It's tough to say without seeing the error myself... If you tried to install WP on HTTPS w/o the SSL activated or domain provisioning completed, that could be the issue. Chrome does give you a warning/error if you attempt to load a website on HTTPS and there's no security certificate (SSL). In this scenario, I'd login to cPanel, check out your file manager and look for the WP installation folders, "wp-content", "wp-admin" and "wp-includes". If they are there along with a bunch of other PHP files, WP is installed and you'll likely just need to wait it out. Otherwise, contact their support and they should be able to look into your account to see if there's a different problem!
@@RayDelVecchio Thankyou , i just reinstalled WP and everything works fine but the SSL certificate is still pending for 10 hours , what should i do ? is there any whatsapp number i can contact you on ??
Be patient, and if it's not good in 24 hours or so, contact HG support :)
