Stop Rewrites to Reverse Proxy for WP-ADMIN

    We have WordPress working fine through a reverse proxy, but cannot login to the wp-admin area. The setup SHOULD work like this…

    http://www.xyz.com/blog -> Public reverse proxy that pulls from abc.com
    https://www.abc.com/wp-admin -> Admin area for blog, as reverse proxy does not support SSL.

    How do we prevent the wordpress backend login from pulling from the reverse proxy URL?

    Happy to go elsewhere for support, but not sure where we should go.

    Thanks

    So far what I have changed is:

    define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘http://www.xyz.com/blog’);
    as well as in the db options

    This has allowed me to access the WordPress admin section but now all images and css appear to be coming from abc.com

    Thanks!

    How are you handling URLs in the admin HTML source? Are you doing anything to modify those before you send them via the reverse proxy?

    Hi Jan,

    If I am understanding your question correctly, we don’t have any type of rewrite in place for the admin area. The hope is to keep all admin functionality on the https://www.abc.com/wp-admin and not send this to the reverse proxy. Unfortunately, the reverse proxy has no SSL support.

    Thank you,
    Derek
