  • Error Reference: invalid certificate csr (ZeroSSL)

    If you’re renewing your SSL and selected autogenerate CSR and it’s always invalid, then you’re just encountering a temporary error.

    I always get this “An error occurred. Please try again or contact support. (Error Reference: invalid certificate csr)” when renewing my Let’s Encrypt Certificate via ZeroSSL.

    If you Paste your own generated CSR or manually generate CSR, it still doesn’t work.

    Only issue here is that it’s a temporary error.

    Just try it again later. Retried it after an hour via ZeroSSL dashboard, then it’s now working. Didn’t do anything to make it work. Just be patient and retry later.

    Easily generate Let’s Encrypt SSL and install it to your WordPress blog in 30 seconds!


    If you’ve noticed, my blog is now in https. Wohoooo! SSL activated after a looong time of being lazy to generate a free SSL and install it in my server. Other hosting providers such as SiteGround, Dreamhost, and other well-known hosting providers out there, providers their customers a one-click Let’s Encrypt SSL installation that you can do in just… one click! Yes, in a few seconds you have your SSL ready.

    But what if your web host doesn’t provide a one click Let’s Encrypt installer? Just like mine? It’s still easy to install without going to the command line, using CertBot, blah blah blah (by following the instructions here https://letsencrypt.org/getting-started/). You can just generate an SSL at https://www.sslforfree.com/, verify that you own the domain by using manual verification, copy paste your CRT, KEY and CABUNDLE to your SSL/TLS manager inside your Cpanel, then you’re done.
