Install caused loop
-
I installed this on a CentOS server.
Before instaling I verfiied that https://www.sitename .com was working. It was but of course CSS was all messed up.
I installed the RSSSL plugin and inadvertently activated it before changing my WP settings for site_url and home to https:
After that, the site would no longer load as it went into a redirect loop.
I renamed all plugins with a -org prefix.
Problem remains.
I have an .htaccess file, but it was not touched on that day. (according to the file date)
I have now renamed the entire plugins directory to plugins.oos but the problem remains. Entering https://www.domain.com spins a while, then redicts to https://www.domain.com and loops.
I also run cloudflare and put it in dev mode. All caching has been disabled.
I can usually figure out bad plugin behavior but this one evades me.
I suspect there is now a mess in my database somewhere.
Please advise.

Deactivation of Really Simple SSL is very simple, but because your site url is changed into https during the change to SSL, just renaming the plugin folder is not enough.
If you follow these instructions:

you will have reverted the changes of the plugin in a few minutes.
As for the cause of the redirect loop
Possibly you have varnish active on your server, which often causes issues when SSL is activated. Deactivating of Varnish solves the problem. Some common causes for redirect loops are listed here:
