first data payment gateway (premium)

Question

I am using woo-commerce plugin for word press. I recently installed first data payment gateway extension(premium extension) into my wordpress.

It throws the following error:

FirstData GGe4 Error: Credit card data cannot be entered unless you are using an SSL secured connection.

I am not sure what is SSL, how can I connect SSL with first data gateway.

Answer 1

you have to take SSL licence from your web hoster for yor site

After installation if that will not work then try to add below code in your function.php of theme for particular page with ssl

add_action('wp_head', 'apply_ssl_to_specific_page');
add_action('admin_head', 'apply_ssl_to_specific_page');
add_action('login_head', 'apply_ssl_to_specific_page');
function apply_ssl_to_specific_page(){
        <?php
    if ( is_page('your-checkout-page-slug') ) {
        if($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] != '443')
            header('Location: https://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
    } else {
        if($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == '443') 
            header('Location: http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
    }

}

replace your-checkout-page-slug with your page slug
