Site URL

    Hey there,

    Just read through your FAQ, the situation I’m in is that certain plugins pull their data from the site URL and they serve the resource based on the protocol specified there, so I’m of course still getting a lot of HTTP resources on an HTTPS page request. Is switching to HTTPS in the site URL viable? I did it on one site and I got the redirect loop, which I’m guessing is what this plugin fixes.

    Sorry for the noobishness.

  • In addition to this plugin I also installed WordPress HTTPS plugin and enabled debug mode which solved all my mixed content issues.

    Actually, if your plugins/themes etc are built correctly, they’ll pull out HTTPS with this plugin enabled.

    Otherwise, you’ll find your plugins etc are hard-coded with https://. But as the previous poster points out, there are other plugins built to forcefully change your URLs to HTTPS even if plugins hard-code it.

    Hope that helps.

    EDIT: I’m an idiot – I turned on print_r($_SERVER);, didn’t see Cloudflare, found that I’d paused Cloudflare, and the rest, as they say, is idiocy!

    But while I’m here – thanks SO much for this plugin! Working great on 3 sites now. Now, if you could find a way of forcing all hardcoded stuff like images and galleries to https….. ??

    Original message was:
    Hi Hamburg300 – which WordPress HTTPS plugin did you solve it with?

    I tried a few but there are so many. The strange this is, this plugin works OK with my self-hosted nginx install and also a hostgator wordpress install, but I cannot get it to work on a Bluehost-hosted WordPress install.

    Everything still seems to be served as http, so of course all the scripts don’t load.

    I was wondering if it’s possible that Bluehost were somehow blocking some headers? I see the plugin is looking for $_SERVER['HTTP_CF_VISITOR'] and if that’s blocked, then no wonder it won’t work! Is there a simple way this noob can show the headers, perhaps in the html source only, as a comment?

    That way, I could see if anything was getting blocked, and then ask Bluehost why!

    Well forcing everything to SSL is another ball-game altogether… there are plugins out there that handle this already, but I prefer to jump directly into the source and change everything from:
    https://
    to
    //

    I have even started updating some posts with images so they are // and not HTTP.

    If ya don’t mind, would you mind leaving a quick review of the plugin? Helps to let people know the plugin is trustworthy.

    Thanks!
    Paul.

    Good plugin. Can the code be edited to work for one page only
