Setting up a local SSL (HTTPS) WordPress site

We’re going to walk through setting up HTTPS for a local WordPress site within vagrant. For this tutorial, we’ll pretend our domain is example.local and that our site lives in ~/vagrant-local/www/example. This entire process should only take a minute or two.

First, let’s use the openssl command to create a key and certificate for our site.

Local SSL websites on macOS Sierra

These instructions will guide you through the process of setting up local, trusted websites on your own computer.

These instructions are intended to be used on macOS Sierra, but they have been known to work in El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, and Mountain Lion.

NOTE: You may substitute the edit command for nano, vim, or whatever the editor of your choice is. Personally, I forward the edit command to Sublime Text:

alias edit="/Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl"
