 * Here is my issue: The SSL on the website is working, but when we log into the
   admin panel on WordPress we are getting the “load unsafe scripts” icon in the
   browser because we think it’s loading things in non-https on the back end. But
   the front-end of the site loads the https fine and we are not getting any “load
   unsafe scripts” error…Very confused here.
 * We are using Cloudflare, but WordPress was initially set up without https version.
   All of the guides I have read say to just go into the WordPress site settings
   and change the 2 URL fields (WordPress Address URL and Site Address URL) to https,
   but when I do that, the whole site breaks and I have to go into the database 
   and change the entry from https to http, and then it works again.
 * We’ve tried changing these WordPress URLs one at a time, as well as both at the
   same time, and it breaks no matter what. Any insight?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fchanging-site-url-to-https-after-enabling-ssl-on-cloudflare-breaks-wordpress%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

   lifesaver! We went ahead and bought the premium version and it worked like a 
   charm 🙂
