I’ll try to walk you through it :slightly_smiling_face: Assuming you’re using Windows, do the following:

  1. Download the latest version of cURL here.
  2. Extract the .zip file by right-clicking → Extract All and follow the instructions.
  3. Enter the extracted folder (most likely called curl-7.79.1-win64-mingw) and then enter the bin folder.
  4. Click on the “current location”-bar in the explorer window. Delete everything in the text field and type cmd.
  5. Command Prompt should now open - don’t type anything yet!
  6. Open notepad and paste the following:
curl -X PATCH "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/{zone_id}/ssl/universal/settings" ^
     -H "X-Auth-Email: {account_email}" ^
     -H "X-Auth-Key: {global_api_key}" ^
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" ^
     --data "{\"certificate_authority\":\"digicert\"}"
  1. Replace {zone_id}, {account_email} and {global_api_key} with their respective values.
  2. Copy everything from notepad and paste it into the Command Prompt window - then hit enter. You should usually not run commands from the internet without verifying them yourself, but let’s pretend you trust me completely :stuck_out_tongue:
  3. The command should complete without errors (look for "success": true), hopefully…
  4. A new certificate should be generated for your site!
