Wall of Text on HTTPS

  • Hi, I recently set up a wordpress site using an apache2 webserver using a VM. My website works perfectly when logging into it via HTTP, but when I login via HTTPS it simply shows a wall of hyperlinks on the admin page. My network is setup to have Nginx Proxy Manager (running on a container on a different VM) forward traffic for that domain to the apache2 server. The HTTPS certificate is on the NPM server. Anyone know how to fix it?

  • Do you see any errors in your browser’s developer console? Could this be a simple case of mixed-content blocking?

    Any chance you can provide your website address so we can take a look?

    Yes, it’s https://x10dev.com and there are a lot of errors in the console, how do I fix that?

    As I thought: it’s a mixed content problem.

    That’s because your WordPress website was installed with http.

    … but when I login via HTTPS it simply shows a wall of hyperlinks on the admin page.

    You’re accessing an HTTP site over HTTPS. This creates a mixed content problem” and all the resources loaded offer HTTP (eg images, stylesheets, JavaScript files, etc) are blocked by the browser.

    Follow the guide below to properly change your WordPress site address HTTPS.

    I gave that a try and it didn’t seem to work. Now when I try to access the web panel it gives me a too many redirects error.

    Well, clearly something has changed — as this is not what you had previously. The reported problem should be solved now, you just have a different problem to deal with.

    I see you’re using Cloudflare. Check your Cloudflare SSL/TLS and ensure it’s set to FULL (Strict).

    It was set to Full so I changed it to full (strict). It didn’t seem to have an effect. Could it have anything to do with my Apache config? I just used the one on the Ubuntu website.
