Wildcard certificate can be created the same way that usual certificate is generated. The only difference шf you want to purchase a wildcard SSL certificate, your domain name must start with an asterisk symbol (*). For example, a certificate generated for *.example.com can be used to secure any subdomain of example.com.
More detail can be found here https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/12.5/c...ring-connections-with-ssl-certificates.65158/

Hi,
Do i need to request for the certificate (CSR), when trying to upload the crt files i'm getting: Error: Unable to set the certificate: Incompatible private key/certificate pair.
Wildcard all ready generated from Godaddy and usually dose not require a CSR.

what is the correct cert format, is it for apache?

Сheck if a certificate matches its private key with help of this KB article https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213916145
Also check that Private Key starts from -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

Hi Ahmad12,

Can I install it using PFX format.

No, you can't.

A PFX - file is an ARCHIVE ( containing certificate, chain and password ), while *.crt / *.cert / *.cer / *.pem ( mostly ) contain just a single certificate or password.
