Title: Problem with SSL Last modified: June 18, 2018 --- # Problem with SSL * Resolved [konstruct](https://wordpress.org/support/users/konstruct/) * (@konstruct) * [7 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-ssl-9/) * Hi. * I have WP installed in a sub-directory of a domain and have activated Really Simple SSL. * I am getting the following error: * System detection encountered issues Your wp-config.php has to be edited, but is not writable. * Because your site is behind a loadbalancer and is_ssl() returns false, you should add the following line of code to your wp-config.php. * //Begin Really Simple SSL Load balancing fix $server_opts = array(“HTTP_CLOUDFRONT_FORWARDED_PROTO” => “https”, “HTTP_CF_VISITOR”=>”https”, “HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO”=>”https”, “HTTP_X_FORWARDED_SSL” =>”on”, “HTTP_X_FORWARDED_SSL”=>”1”); foreach( $server_opts as $option => $value){ if ((isset($_ENV[“HTTPS”]) && ( “on” == $_ENV[“HTTPS”] )) || (isset( $_SERVER[ $option ] ) && ( strpos( $_SERVER[ $option ], $value ) !== false )) ) { $_SERVER[“ HTTPS” ] = “on”; break; } } //END Really Simple SSL Or set your wp-config.php to writable and reload this page. * I have added the above code to the WP_Config file however, there still seems to be an issue. Any ideas of what’s going wrong? * Lee * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fproblem-with-ssl-9%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * Plugin Author [Mark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markwolters/) * (@markwolters) * [7 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-ssl-9/#post-10410061) * Hi, * the site seems to load fine over SSL, the /awards/ page does have some mixed content, this video is loaded over [http://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-ssl-9/?output_format=md): [http://mobilemarketingmagazine.com/awards/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/video.mp4](http://mobilemarketingmagazine.com/awards/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/video.mp4). * This link seems to be generated by the following file: [https://mobilemarketingmagazine.com/awards/wp-content/plugins/gp-premium/page-header/functions/js/jquery.vide.min.js?ver=1.6.2](https://mobilemarketingmagazine.com/awards/wp-content/plugins/gp-premium/page-header/functions/js/jquery.vide.min.js?ver=1.6.2) * Since this is a minified Javascript file you can try to temporarily disable the Javascript minification option (likely in the gp-premium plugin and/or caching plugin), clear the cache and then re-enable the minification option. That should fix your issue and give the /awards/ page the green lock. * Mark * Thread Starter [konstruct](https://wordpress.org/support/users/konstruct/) * (@konstruct) * [7 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-ssl-9/#post-10410091) * Hi Mark. * Thanks for the speedy response! * I’ve just looked in to it a bit further and realised that all of the files in the media library are still http (not https) * Also, in WordPress > Settings > General, the WP Address and Site Address are still http also. * Should these have all changed? * Lee * Plugin Author [Mark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markwolters/) * (@markwolters) * [7 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-ssl-9/#post-10410137) * Hi Lee, * yes, activating SSL should change the home and site url should change to [https://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-ssl-9/?output_format=md). The mixed content fixer should update all internal links to use https:// as well. Have you pressed the ‘Go ahead, activate SSL!’ button? * Mark * Thread Starter [konstruct](https://wordpress.org/support/users/konstruct/) * (@konstruct) * [7 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-ssl-9/#post-10410161) * That’s what i thought. * I have just clicked the ‘Go ahead, activate SSL!’ button, now i am getting a message: * ‘Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.’ when trying to access the back- end. Front end is working ok (albeit still loading mixed content). * Thanks. * Lee * Plugin Author [Mark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markwolters/) * (@markwolters) * [7 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-ssl-9/#post-10410206) * The website seems to return a Cloudflare header, it is possible Cloudflare is caching old data which can lead to issues. Can you try to clear the Cloudflare cache to see if that resolves your issue? * Mark Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) The topic ‘Problem with SSL’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/really-simple-ssl/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2839720) * [Really Simple Security - Simple and Performant Security (formerly Really Simple SSL)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/really-simple-ssl/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/really-simple-ssl/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/really-simple-ssl/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/really-simple-ssl/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/really-simple-ssl/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/really-simple-ssl/reviews/) * 5 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Mark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markwolters/) * Last activity: [7 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-ssl-9/#post-10410206) * Status: resolved
