    This is a very vanilla setup of wordpress. Thanks

    @maverickws Thanks for opening a support topic, hopefully we can assist. I noticed an mu plugin active. Do you know if this was installed at host level? If you can share your hosting provider we can try and recreate the same issue.

    If you prefer to share privately you can use this form.

    Hi James, thank you for the quick reply.
    Yes there’s a mu-plugin it belongs to WP Cerber. It was deactivated during the tests and, I can guarantee you that this is not related to the issue, as the security plugin was the last to be installed/activated. I came across the Site Kit issue before.

    I have other websites on this host they’re working fine and I haven’t had issues before with Site Kit.
    I have also tried using a Private tab and other browsers to see if could be something cookie related, but no luck.

    @maverickws Thanks for the update. So I can check your setup from our site can you share your site URL? You can use the same form mentioned previously if you’d like to share privately.

    Hi James,

    I have shared the info requested in the form.
    Thanks

    @maverickws Many thanks for the additional info. From checking your site it looks like the problem may be that there are some resources loaded over http, with your site otherwise https.

    If you can correct those (images only) please attempt setup once more. If setup doesn’t proceed let me know and I’ll provide a workaround once your site is fully https.

    Thread Starter Ricardo

    (@maverickws)

    @jamesosborne the issue you mention… has been fixed.
    the exact same problem.

    I have other websites with that issue that I never actually took the time to care about and never seen that conflict with this plugin.
    But anyway, there are no more resources loaded in the wrong protocol. It is now fully https

    Plugin Support James Osborne

    (@jamesosborne)

    @maverickws As your site was not fully https when setting up Site Kit you may need to perform the below:
    1. Temporarily switch your “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)” from https://.. to https://.. in your WordPress General Settings configuration.
    2. Logout of your WordPress admin dashboard
    3. Log back in and then undo the changes you made (reverting back to the full address with https
    4. Reset Site Kit and attempt setup once more

    The changes are to force an update to your site on the Site Kit authentication service. Let me know if that works for you.

    So anyway, I did as requested:
    1. Changed the wordpress and site address URL’s to http
    2. logged out
    3. logged back in and undo the changes
    4. Here SiteKit wasn’t showing the “Reset” option, so I deactivated the plugin, uninstalled the plugin, and then installed it back.

    The issue persists.

    @maverickws I’ll check with the team to see if there is anything we identify on our side which may be impacting setup. I’ll report back to you here with any updates.

    (@maverickws)

    @jamesosborne ok thanks.
    I would just like to add in case its useful, while all other plugins/links whatever, when I am logged in, respond well to domain.com/wp-admin and redirect automatically to domain.com/wp_folder/wp-admin that is not happening with Site Kit. I don’t know why, but it only happens with this plugin everything else in the site is working flawlessly.

    The method used to serve this website is as described on Method II on this article:

    Giving WordPress Its Own Directory

    1. Changed the site URL on Settings > General
    2. Copied index.php and .htaccess to the root directory of the website
    3. Edited index.php so the line is:
    require __DIR__ . '/wp_folder/wp-blog-header.php';
    4. Re-saved permalinks.

    Looking forward for your feedback. thanks!

    Plugin Support James Osborne

    (@jamesosborne)

    @maverickws Many thanks for the suggestions. I’ve performed some testing using various WP installs and I’m able to reproduce the same issue when using the same setup as your own.

    I’ll create a GitHub issue for further investigation (I’m unable to add comments to your initial GitHub post). In the meantime if you want to attempt method one from the link you provided this allowed Site Kit setup to proceed in my case, after saving permalinks. (placing a redirect in a .htaccess file as opposed to inside the index.php file)

    (@maverickws)

    Hi James, thanks a lot for the quick feedback.

    For now I have made my own mini-plugin to put the Google scripts, its working fine so I’m thinking of letting be like this until the issue is fixed.

    If you don’t mind sharing the Github issue I’ll keep an eye on it and jump in if you guys need anything.

    Cheers!

    @maverickws Sure, the GitHub issue is below:

    (@maverickws)

    Ok great thanks! I’ll follow the issue.

    No problem at all, thanks you for the quick analysis, replies and support!!

    @maverickws just sending an update that we are still keeping track of your issue.

    If not done already, please update to version 1.8.1 which includes several fixes. Could you let us know if the issue persists for you on that version?

    Thanks again for your patience and feedback thus far!
