: How do I add web host's SSL to Cloudflare? I'm stuck with this one and I've searched under Cloudflare's documentation and under Cloudflare SSL however I am unable to come up with resolution

I'm stuck with this one and I've searched under Cloudflare's documentation and under Cloudflare SSL however I am unable to come up with resolution to my problem.

Problem:

Purchased a Domain Validated SSL for a single domain through my webhost. Under CPanel I can navigate to my file location and I see the directory ssl with the childern directories:

/certs/file.crt
/csrs/-empty-
/keys/file.key
/private/serveral-files

I navigate to Cloudflare > Crypto > Origin Certificates > Create Certificate. I select the radio I have my own private key and CSR but when I navigate back to my webhost to look for the CSR under the directory /csrs the folder is empty. When I contact my web host they have no clue what to do and they just apologize and offer a refund on my SSL.

If I do go to my general settings of the WordPress site and change to my site goes haywire which after research could be a by-product of what Mixed Content issue with WordPress, Cloudflare SSL and Genesis Framework which talks about the issue since I'm calling on several CDNs in my site but I believe that is down the road yet could be related so I thought I would mention it.

Is there another area I'm missing in Cloudflare to add my SSL and am I doing this correcty? I've never used an SSL with Cloudflare before.
