Is it safe to switch to https on a Wordpress site?

I would like to get a SSL certificate for my WordPress site. Is it safe to switch from http to https? My host says it's an automatic install, but shouldn't I change all the URLs?

In my theme I have hard coded URLs, but also WordPress permalink PHP codes for example. The hard coded URLs can be changed, but how about the URLs in the Wordpress code itself and all the plugins? If I change that and there's an update it will all be lost I suppose.

I would like to have https all over the website. Will the site and all the plugins still work after I switch from http to https?

It is safe, but yes, you will have to change the hardcoded urls or establish redirections, the first option is better. There are plugins that help you with this, remember all internal linking in your posts has to change, too.
