Very strange indeed! The admin bar does shows up on the front-end! I tried to create a new used on the front-end, it works but when I try to access the user’s profile (which is under wp-admin/profile.php) I encounter the same issue. Everything under wp-admin throws exactly the same error. I tried to manually add an user to the database, and it gets me to the same point. I checked the usermetadata table, I didn’t see anything unexpected. I updated my htaccess, but it uses relative links, is there a specific configuration I should do inside it? I tried to use it to redirect http traffic to https, but it didn’t fix the issue. I tried the subdomain example and it didn’t seem to do much change. I’m going to try again tomorrow to tweak my .htaccess.

Do you think a mixed-content error might throw this kind of error? Because I have a few of them because of some plugin! Or could it be some cache somewhere, rewriting my urls without the https (even through it seems quite unlikely)?

Replacing every https://yourdomain to https seems like a great idea! Do you have any specific plugin in mind?

Thanks for your time!

Hi kyjus25! Thanks, but unfortunately my website is not under www, but it IS under a subdomain (devversion.mydomain.com) . Since I’m not 100% percent sure what could be the source of the issue I’m going to explain a little bit more precisely what I did.

I have a dev version of the WordPress, hosted on our company’s server, it is an Apache Server Running Plesk and it is inside a subdirectory (Similar to https://preview.mywebsite.com/websites/mywordpress), there is no HTTPS/SSL configuration on this wordpress instance.

We have to migrate it to our client’s hosting, so I:

– Made a sql dump of the mysql database
– Updated the client’s database with the dump
– Pushed the sources through ftp on our client’s domain, but under a subdomain (devversion.mydomain.com) to avoid breaking the production website,
– Updated the home and siteurl variables inside the wp_options of the database with https://devversion.mydomain.com
– Updated the wordpress’s wp-config.php to connect to the new database

That’s when the issue occured, I then tried to add $_SERVER[‘HTTPS’]=’on’ and define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true) to my config.php file (among many other potential fixes I found online) but nothing worked so far.

Is there something I might have missed? I set the debug to true but I don’t have more information.

Thanks for the link! I tried setting FORCE_SSL_ADMIN to true or false, but none of them worked, I made a RewriteRule to redirect everything to https but it didn’t work either, I tried disabling all of my themes and plugins too but it didn’t seem to fix the problem. I was thinking about running my wordpress through a reverse proxy to fix my SSL problems but I’d love to be able to avoid it if someone has another solution

Hi Daniel! Thanks for your quick answer! Actually the weird part is that I don’t have a redirect loop (it would be easier to debug), I have a “Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.” even through I am logged with an Admin account
