    No, of course not. We built all these little checkboxes and select fields in ISPConfig UI just for fun. None of these is connected to any functions, we just made a photoshop image of something that looks like a GUI to make fun of users ;) And just to mention if someone is taking this seriously, it works of course, on a few hundred thousand servers.

    To enable a checkbox in a website or web based GUI application, you move the mouse cursor above that checkbox, then you click on the checkbox. In your specific case, it's the let's encrypt checkbox of the website. This causes a visible response in the GUI which shows the user that the checkbox is enabled. Then you press the green save button at the bottom of the page to save the change.

    Back to the original topic, the guide on how to debug a let's encrypt issuing failure is even pinned at the top of this forum section, and it is mentioned in basically any thread on that topic. Please use the search function in the forum before posting!
