Can’t install plugins after adding SSL

  • Hi,
    I did a new install of WordPress to a site with an SSL certificate. Since then, i cannot install, delete, or upload plugins. I get a “Bad Gateway” error. I reinstalled WP three times. Same error.

    Here’s what I did:
    1. I changed the urls to https
    2. I added a redirect to https to .htaccess
    3. Added code to force https admin logins to the wp-config.php

    Forgot to add – I can add plugins through cPanel file manager just fine, but I would prefer to do it in the WP dashboard.

    I have exactly same problem. Can I ask what is the cPanel file manager? I am wondering if there is a way to install/update plugins with WP dashboard after migrating https from http.

    Thanks.

    For future reference. I was able to solve the issue with the .htaccess update with the code below.

      RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(.*)\ HTTP/ [NC]
  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on [NC]
  RewriteRule ^/?(wp-admin/|wp-login\.php) https://mysite.com%{REQUEST_URI}%{QUERY_STRING} [R=301,QSA,L]
