This approach is designed to avoid the error: `Error: Update from wildcard SSL to normal SSL is not supported yet.` By following these steps, you will be able to update your site to a valid Let's Encrypt certificate in the future.\n\n**Note:** Replace `www.domain.com` with the URL of the site you want to create.\n\n### Initial Setup\n\n1. **Create a simple HTML site with a self-signed certificate:**\n   ```bash\n   ee site create www.domain.com --type=html --ssl=self --skip-status-check\n   ```\n\n2. **Copy the site certificates from `/opt/easyengine/services/nginx-proxy/certs` to `/root/certs/`:**\n   ```bash\n   mkdir -p /root/certs/\n   cp /opt/easyengine/services/nginx-proxy/certs/www.domain.com.* /root/certs/\n   ```\n\n3. **Delete the HTML site:**\n   ```bash\n   ee site delete www.domain.com --yes\n   ```\n\n4. **Create a new WordPress site using custom certificates:**\n   ```bash\n   ee site create www.domain.com --type=wp --ssl=custom --ssl-key='/root/certs/www.domain.com.key' --ssl-crt='/root/certs/www.domain.com.crt' --skip-status-check\n   ```\n\n5. **Remove the certificates from `/root/certs/` after creating the WordPress site:**\n   ```bash\n   rm -rf /root/certs/www.domain.com.*\n   ```\n\n### Updating to a Valid Certificate\n\nWhen necessary to update to a valid certificate:\n\n1. **Backup the current certificates (optional, for recovery purposes):**\n   ```bash\n   mkdir -p /root/certs/\n   cp /opt/easyengine/services/nginx-proxy/certs/www.domain.com.* /root/certs/\n   ```\n\n2. **Disable the current SSL configuration:**\n   ```bash\n   ee site update www.domain.com --ssl=off\n   ```\n\n3. **Delete the existing certificates:**\n   ```bash\n   rm -rf /opt/easyengine/services/nginx-proxy/certs/www.domain.com.*\n   ```\n\n4. **Update the site with a new valid Let's Encrypt certificate:**\n   ```bash\n   ee site update www.domain.com --ssl=le\n   ```\n\n### Resources\n\n- [EasyEngine Official Website](https://easyengine.io)\n- [EasyEngine Site Commands Documentation](https://easyengine.io/commands/site/)\n\n---\n\nThis README.md file provides step-by-step instructions for setting up a WordPress site with EasyEngine, starting with a simple HTML site and transitioning to a WordPress site with custom certificates. This setup avoids the wildcard SSL error and prepares the site for future updates with a valid Let's Encrypt certificate.
