# WordPress in HTTPS, causing Redirect Loops

 * Hi there :),
 * I’m in the process of setting up WordPress over HTTPS, which is hosted on a Digital
   Ocean VPS, managed by Serverpilot (though the HTTPS is set up manually, rather
   than through Serverpilot). The server has a number of WordPress installations,
   but there is one in particular I wanted to run securely. WordPress in itself 
   is running in a subfolder (so it’s located in domain.com/subfolder/).
 * I’ve managed to get SSL certificate up and running, as going to the main URL 
   of the site domain.com and sticking a plain HTML on it works over SSL and the
   padlock’s show.
 * However the WordPress installation enters a redirect loop.
 * I’ve done the following:-
    - Switched all plugins off
    - Switched to a default theme (Twenty Thirteen)
    - Updated everything to their latest versions
    - Changed to default permalinks
 * I’ve then changed the siteurl and WordPress URL to https, and then the site gets
   caught in a Redirect Loop. I use a Redirect Path plugin for Chrome, and it’s 
   effectively getting redirected to itself (so [https://domain.com/subfolder/](https://domain.com/subfolder/)
   goes through to [https://domain.com/subfolder/](https://domain.com/subfolder/)).
   Oddly this redirect appears to switch between a 301 and 302 redirect, without
   any rhyme or reason.
 * I also had a bit of a play around with WordPress HTTPS, but that wasn’t successful
   either.
 * Any ideas? Not entirely sure where to go here…
