Since Google announced that websites using HTTPS will increase your chances of having a good ranking in search results, here's a setup to have a free SSL on your wordpress site using Cloudflare's Free Flexible SSL...
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR SITE FIRST IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG!!!
1. Create an account at Cloudflare. Or just sign in if you already have one.
2. Add your site and select the free plan. Follow the steps on setting up your domain.
3. Once domain was successfully setup, look and click for CRYPTO at the top row.
4. On the CRYPTO page, look for SSL and select FLEXIBLE.
5. Check your website by typing https://www.yoursite.com if the ssl is working... If your site loads but the content is all messed up, dont worry about it...
6. Now go to your Wordpress admin page and install and activate the plugin CLOUDFLARE FLEXIBLE SSL to prevent the redirecting loop error.
7. Next is install and activate the SSL INSECURE CONTENT FIXER to fix the mixed contents that make your site undesirably out of order...
a. Once activated, click SSL Insecure Content Fixer's SETTINGS and on FIX INSECURE CONTENT, choose CAPTURE. ( you can try the other options later after finishing the setup if its working properly on your site)
b. For FIXES FOR SPECIFIC PLUGINS AND THEMES, just choose the one that suits your site.... If you have woocommerce, then choose woocommerce....
c. For HTTPS DETECTION, choose HTTP_CF_VISITOR (Cloudflare Flexible SSL) then SAVE the settings.
8. Now go back to your Cloudflare account and go to PAGE RULES.
Click CREATE Page Rule and add your site as http://*yoursite.com/*
Then select ALWAYS USE HTTPS then SAVE AND DEPLOY.
9. DONE :)
