How To Setup SSL And HTTPS in WordPress Blog or Site?
Before starting this process you must setup CloudFlare on your domain. If you already setup your domain on CloudFlare you can start this process but if you are not setup yet then you can set up by help this article.
After setup CloudFlare on your domain, you can follow the process to setup SSL or HTTPS in your WordPress blog or site.

Note: SSL activation takes some time. If your site’s SSL is working then follow next step.

Hi, Manoj Chakraborty
My name is MADE, a blogger who have the same Matched Content problem as what you had in May 2017. I found your message at https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/adsense/wknqKrNQuzs.
I check your website and see that your Matched Content has already shown the pictures. Would you tell me how you solved the problem? I have the same issue this month.
Thank you.
