Any gotchas accessing [single site] admin on separate subdomain?
-
In order to run the admin over an SSL connection, while also using the free tier of Cloudflare, I have set up a subdomain for accessing my site’s admin via SSL. The subdomain bypasses Cloudflare.
I have done some quick tests connecting to the admin via the subdomain and most things work ok. The few that don’t, I believe I can fix by using the WordPress HTTPS plugin.
I am using nginx to serve the site and can write appropriate rewrite rules into the site config to make all admin requests go to the subdomain over https and all non-admin requests go to the regular domain over http.
My question is whether there will be any side effects of accessing the admin on a subdomain that I should be aware of before I go ahead and implement this method.
For example, I notice that when I create a new post, in the database, the GUID for the post references the URL including the subdomain (i.e. it looks like
admin.example.com
instead ofexample.com
).I am also using the Jetpack plugin to provide various WordPress.com services like comments and subscriptions. Would there be any issues in the communication between my site and WordPress.com if I am creating things in the DB via a subdomain?
Any other gotchas that I should be aware of?
Thanks for any help, pointers, feedback.
