WP4 introduces redirect loop SSL

    After updating to the latest WP4 i am, occasionally, getting redirect loop errors reported by customers. We are hosted by WP Engine who have a “Purge all caches (Purges everything: The page-cache, the CDN cache, and the object cache)” button that fixes things temporarily (a day or two). Additionally, I only see this as an anonymous user, if i log into /wp-admin/ the redirect goes away.

    WordPress Address (URL): https://blog.example.com
    Site Address (URL): https://blog.example.com
    siteurl: https://blog.example.com
    home: https://blog.example.com
    define( ‘WPE_FORCE_SSL_LOGIN’, false );
    define( ‘FORCE_SSL_LOGIN’, false );

    I’ve looked at the other similar tickets, but there doesn’t seem to be a clear cause/fix. I assume this is something WP introduced?

    WP Engine offers 24/7 support as part of what you pay them for, and they have better access to look into this than we do.

    Have you contacted them about this?

    Offhand, I’d say that define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN' should be set to true not false, but WPE_FORCE_SSL_LOGIN is something specific to WP Engine, so you should really get in touch with them about this.

    Okay. I have, and they are looking into it:

    I am currently in the process of getting our senior support team to apply a permanent fix for this issue, I will give you an update as soon as we have this resolved for you.

    Just wanted to rule out a generic WP issue. Thanks.

    You’re welcome! 🙂

    It’s not a general/common issue, or at least not something with a common fix, so I’d rather have them rule-out something on their end first.
