Force HTTPS

I know this question must be asked a thousand times a day but i have had no way that work. Most of the time, like changing the link in the general settings or the WordPress HTTPS (SSL) plugin, i get locked out of my dashboard or i get stuck in a never ending redirect loop. If you can, please allow the solution to work with CloudFlare. Thanks.

Well, first of all, don’t use the plugin. It’s a last resort.

Since CloudFlare is a reverse proxy, try this: https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Administration_Over_SSL#Using_a_Reverse_Proxy

Were you normally able to get to your Dashboard *before* that change?

Hm, and did you disable the HTTPS plugin?

Can you give us a link to your site?

I had to reset my entire website and i never reinstalled the HTTPS plugin, but the link to the website is pavelow.net

Are you using a plugin to hide or relocate your admin?

If you undo the SSL change, are you able to log in?

No plugin that changes anything to do with the admin area, and when i remove the SSL code i am able to access the dashboard again.

Your Dashboard no longer returns a 404?

1. What do you have the two URLs at Settings -> General to?

2. Try again with just this: https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Administration_Over_SSL#To_Force_SSL_Logins_and_SSL_Admin_Access

They are set to “http://www.pavelow.net” and i’d rather not change them to https because the last 10 times i did that i get to reinstall wordpress and my webhoster doesn’t like that.

And is there a certain spot in the wp-config i am supposed to put the code at?

Thread Starter silverpavelow

Putting just the
define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);
in the config causing me to go in a redirect loop, and adding `define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true);
if ($_SERVER[‘HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO’] == ‘https’)
$_SERVER[‘HTTPS’]=’on’;` does the same as before.

Any improvement if you set both URLs to http://pavelow.net/ (remove the www.)?

i will try but if i get locked out, is there an easy way to just change these back?

Relatively easy, yes: https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database
