FAQ

Does this plugin affect non-SSL traffic?

No. It only comes into play when Cloudflare is serving HTTPS traffic from your site.

Should I change my WordPress Site URL to HTTPS?

No – there is no need. Use Cloudflare’s pages rules to redirect your visitors. You can then safely turn off SSL whenever you want from within Cloudflare and your WordPress site will still load on HTTP.

What happens if I disable this plugin AFTER enabling Flexible SSL on Cloudflare?

Your WordPress site will not load on HTTPS/SSL. You will create an infinite loop loading problem and the only way to solve this is to turn off SSL redirects within Cloudflare.

Does I need this plugin if I use Cloudflare FULL or Strict SSL?

No. It is designed only to assist with Flexible SSL.

CRAZY? but it works

I dont really understand the problem, because it should redirect loop the whole time, but it doesnt, only on some parts in backend and some problems with plugins. But anyway, this plugin is the solution, CRAZY? and for free. Respekt. Thank you very much! You saved my life!

moving site from a to b and needed this plugin

nicmare September 12, 2023

i do not really know why. i just wanted to move my site from webspace a to webspace b. so i did that, changed the IPs in DNS settings of cloudflare and voila i was suddenly trapped in an infinite redirection loop. for some reason my webspace b provider does not allow me to acitvate ssl on the domain. i stumpled upon this plugin which seems to fix my issue. so thank you! but i have to admit i still do not understand whats going on ??

Great Plugin, Does What It Says It Will.
