WordPress 4.2; Dashboard fails

I have the same problem. If I am logged in at the time and load https site home page and then click “dashboard” on top. I am redirected to a login screen with no ssl. It lets me log in and then I am directed to the dashboard without https.

I am using WP 4.2 multisite. To make https work, I do a redirect in the Apache config for the virtual domain.

Help!

I use this snippet in my wp-config file to force ssl admin.

define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'] == 'https')
       $_SERVER['HTTPS']='on';

Also this mod works great with this plugin. Make your WordPress site use protocol relative urls.

Quite useful for making a post or page accessible by standard http protocol. I use it for my webcams that do not support tls encryption.
