 * I am running into issues with our site with AWS. We running WordPress on ECS 
   Fargate and have an application load balancer in front of it. We have a certificate
   created on AWS for [https://www.saondemand.com](https://www.saondemand.com) however
   it is not securing the site.
   In wordpress settings we have set the wordpress 
   address direct to the load balancerSite Address to : [https://www.saondemand.com](https://www.saondemand.com)
 *  I have also installed the following script on 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”;
 * }
 * }
 * //END Really Simple SSL
 *  I figured this is the final step to secure our site. 
   But after installing Real
   Simply SSL, It doesn’t load. The screen is blank. I have tried to deactivate,
   and re-install and still. It not working.Anyone run into this issue before?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Freally-simple-ssl-not-loading%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Possibly the code you added manually contains an encoding error, which can happen
   if you copied it from a website.
 * As Really Simple SSL handles this automatically I would start with removing those,
   and try again.
