使用HTTPS的Wordpress重定向循环

Question

I have a weird problem that when I set the site address and wordpress address to https (within settings > General) I'm receiving a redirect loop when accessing the wp-admin and no css/js etc on the front end (with the error This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS .)

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

I've tried redirecting to https with htaccess:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R,L]
</IfModule>

as well as various plugins but keep getting the redirect loop issue!

Update

I've tried:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

and still getting a redirect loop!

Cheers.

Answer 1

If you have a plugin that has a setting that forces the site to use http that can be your problem. This happened to me once with WooCommerce. The checkout used https but the plugin forced the page into http which was then forced into https etc...

Found the answer to this here: Wordpress WP-ADMIN HTTPS Redirect Loop

Add the following to wp-config.php:

$_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'on';
