How To Enable HTTPS for Wordpress on Dreamhost

I recently updated a bunch of Wordpress sites that I manage to support SSL. In this video I share the process I used to achieve this as there are several steps involved and it can be a bit overwhelming if you don't know where to start. I did this on Dreamhost which I recently moved all my sites to due to the fact that they make it easy to use free Let's Encrypt SSL certificates and provide a wealth of clearly written support documentation that takes you through the steps needed to accomplish this.
