I have a question regarding a website that I have right now. I use Plesk as web hosting and use WordPress as CMS. When I published the website, it said the website is not secure. I already upload the SSL certificate.

If you follow this suggestion and an SSL is not in place it will most likely run a redirect loop because the site will try to goto https and it does not exist. This will then need to be fixed either via directly changing those values in the database or using the wp-config to override the domain/site url.
Please do not just do this without making sure you have an SSL already setup/configured correctly.
