Disabled plugin to troubleshoot – now site broken

  • I was having an issue with a captcha API and was disabling/enabling plugins one by one to see where the conflict was. I disabled SSL Insecure Content Fixer and now I can’t access my site, including the dashboard. I have this hosted on Amazon AWS S3. How can I access my WP dashboard again, get this reactivated and get my site working again?

    G’day topofthemornin,

    Just saw this in RSS (no email came, dammit!)

    Try adding this to your wp-config.php file, before any mention of ABSPATH:

    
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO']) === 'https') {
	$_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'on';
}

    It hard-codes the HTTPS detection used by a bunch of different server models, which is probably what’s keeping you locked out.

    If that doesn’t work, try the code specific to Cloudfront instead.

    cheers,
    Ross

    Bless you @webaware! This had my heart pounding when I accidentally brought down my employer’s main site! ?? All better now.
