I managed to get to the stage where I had to enter the private key and certificate key on the easywp platform. The SSL certificate was accepted and the website was now Secured, I could enter with https . 30 min later I could not , then I could only enter from my mobile then again I couldn't . I contacted support and they told me everything was working fine on their side. I searched the web and I found that I had to get the cloudflare origin ca root certificate but I do not know how to install that on my origin server. Can you help ?
I need help with the Cloudflare SSL certificate on EasyWP hosting.

That’s why I like siteground they manage this or Wpx who use their own cloud it’s the host who should do it

Give it some time. Sometimes the change might take even 48 hours to propagate. If the support said it's working, then believe their words I guess (or try from a US VPN like the free opera VPN). If it works there, it will eventually work everywhere after 48 hrs.
I'm learning , I thought since EasyWP UI had the option for an SSL certificate it was mandatory I got one maybe that's what causes the loops. Right now (on cloudflare) I've set SSL/TLS encryption mode on Full and got the Page rule always redirect to https but I'm still unable to even enter the WordPress platform so I can edit the site.
I'm kinda "on a budget" not sure if I want to invest a full 100$ for hosting as a starter. Should I get this thing rolling I'll make upgrades for sure.
I don't really trust the support they act unprofessional. I been let it settle for a day nevertheless I check this morning and it wasn't working at all,frustrating.

I always use https://www.browserling.com/ to check for propagation issues.
Just enter your site URL and check whether you can see https there and it's working fine.
If it is, then flush your dns and clear your site cache on google.
Or just look through incognito.

So, did you just change the SSL settings, and not the whole name server itself? If so, there would be some kind of SSL error if you are getting one. Paste the error code (and message if any) here. I will help you the best I can.
and this too. For most of the sites, enabling the first option (forgot what it was called.. lol. flexible https?) works flawlessly. Your http website will magicaally become https without any headache.
My website came up fully operational on the browserling but I still have to do the cache clearance, thank you.

Dead thread ressurection for anyone who (like me) was looking for the answer to this...
1. Setup a CNAME record for your custom domain, pointing it to the hostname given when you start with easyWP
2. Be sure the CNAME record is NOT set to proxied mode i.e DNS only
3. Do not install a custom cert on easyWP
4. Set Cloudflare SSL to Auto (which actually sets it to Flexible)
5. https version of your site works. Encryption happens only between visitors browser and cloudflare CDN but this should be fine as long as nobody knows the actual hostname of your easyWP website as that won't be protected by SSL
