WordFence blocking http/https redirect

When I have WordFence activated, it’s blocking the redirect from non-secure http to secure https. When I deactivate the plugin, it works fine. I’m also running ReallySimple SSL.

Before you ask, I have the URLs set to https:// in WordPress settings.

Is there a setting in WordFence to fix this?

Hi @itsjustdj, thanks for getting in touch.

Are you seeing actual Wordfence-branded block pages from the very start of making requests to your site URL, or only when following links, or under another situation?

I’m not sure if you’re depending on Cloudflare for SSL to work, or are on another server configuration so it might be a good idea to send over a diagnostic report. There can be other issues with how SSL on your server, or the Really Simple SSL plugin is handled but it’d be hard to say with the information I have.

You can send us the diagnostic report to wftest @ wordfence . com. The link to do so appears at the top of the Wordfence > Tools > Diagnostics page. Then click on “Send Report by Email”. Please add your forum username where indicated and respond here after you have sent it.

NOTE: It should look as follows – Screenshot of Tools > Diagnostic > Send by Email

Thanks,
Peter.

Just curious if there was resolution to this? I’m experiencing the same scenario. It’s directly related the to the rate limiting function for us. Regardless of the settings, it will block redirect.

Hey @tpipta and @wfpeter ,

I apologize for not coming back to comment on the resolution sooner. It turns out it was a combined issue with the Really Simple SSL configuration and the web host. WordFence wasn’t causing any issues.
