# Cannot preview post

 * My site has an ssl certificate and now uses [https://theeradicatorreviews.com](https://theeradicatorreviews.com/)
   as the url. For some reason when I’m editing a post and click preview it redirects
   me to the homepage main url. I have both in my wordpress general settings for
   wordpress address and site url as [https://theeradicatorreviews.com/](https://theeradicatorreviews.com/).
   Someone please help this is very inconvenient.

 * You mention that your WordPress address and site url are the https:// version,
   it’s worth double checking that they are and one of them is not pointing to the
   non www version.
 * While the home page is showing up, is the URL in the top of the page, the homepage
   URL or does it have ? and a string of content behind it?
 * Also are you using a plugin like:
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/ssl-insecure-content-fixer/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ssl-insecure-content-fixer/)
   or [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-https/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-https/)
 * Finally do you have permalinks enabled so your urls look like example.com/hello-
   world/ or similar rather then example.com/?post_id=1
 * Sorry for all the questions basically trying to determine if the issue, is the
   preview being stripped out, or the cookie not being set correctly. One last question
   and it’s a very big wild card are you using HHVM (you would know if you were,
   so don’t worry if you never heard of it)

 * Strangely I was able to fix the preview problem by using http in general settings
   instead of https.

 * I’m glad it’s sorted, but that really shouldn’t have worked :s
    Anyway it’s working
   which is the main thing!
