Can't edit or save any page

Your problem really interested me, so I have opened an account on openshift and saw the problem.

The WordPress admin is configured somehow to work only with SSL so if you edit pages with Elementor in non SSL URL it will failed.

Verify before you start editing the page that you have HTTPS in your URL.

Excellent, that solved it perfectly, thank you so much. Can go and start refactoring my site now to use Elementor.

Hi,

Can you insert this code in your theme functions.php and see if it work without interaction from your side.

add_filter( 'admin_url', function( $url ) {
    if ( is_ssl() || force_ssl_admin() ) {
        $url = str_replace( 'https://', 'https://', $url );
    }
    return $url;
} );

Tried that, didn’t notice any difference when editing with Elementor either from the dashboard page list, or direct from the page.

This need to solve the problem deal with the url for http and https, if you can edit without touching the url the fix is working.

Yep, I thought that was the case. However, when I added this, I didn’t notice any difference. If I click the “Edit with Elementor” link in the page list of the admin interface, which is https necessarily, it opens the Elementor editor with http, and exhibits the same problem as before. If I then change the Elementor URL to be https and refresh, it works properly.

Sorry, been away from the site for a while. This is still not resolved for me. I click the edit in Elementor link from any of the possible locations, and it still opens with http, and I have to manually add https to the url and refresh to be able to use Elementor.

Not insurmountable, but inconvenient.

@yehudah I have a similar problem related to the HTTPS. We are using CloudFlare and their FlexibleSSL., which means that the request to the server is actually via HTTP, but it proxied with CloudFlares SSL.

I’ve done some digging in your code and found that Utils::get_edit_link() is using get_permalink(), which using get_home_url() for page editing (link-template.php). I suspect that something is messed up there, because is_ssl() is true but it still generates an http scheme URL.

I’m pretty sure it’s because the following logic is executed:
`
$scheme = parse_url( $url, PHP_URL_SCHEME );
$url = set_url_scheme( $url, $scheme );
`

So even if is_ssl() is true, it’s ignored since the request is HTTP. A quick fix would be:
`
public static function get_edit_link( $post_id = 0 ) {
$edit_url = add_query_arg( ‘elementor’, ”, get_permalink( $post_id ) );
if ( is_ssl() ) {
$edit_url = str_replace(‘https://’, ‘https://’, $edit_url);
}

return apply_filters( ‘elementor/utils/get_edit_link’, $edit_url, $post_id );
}
`

I have a site also using Cloudflare’s FlexibleSSL and have noticed some quirks. I’ll report back if I can detail them specifically.
