In addition to this plugin I also installed WordPress HTTPS plugin and enabled debug mode which solved all my mixed content issues.

Actually, if your plugins/themes etc are built correctly, they’ll pull out HTTPS with this plugin enabled.
Otherwise, you’ll find your plugins etc are hard-coded with http://. But as the previous poster points out, there are other plugins built to forcefully change your URLs to HTTPS even if plugins hard-code it.
Hope that helps.

EDIT: I’m an idiot – I turned on print_r($_SERVER);, didn’t see Cloudflare, found that I’d paused Cloudflare, and the rest, as they say, is idiocy!
But while I’m here – thanks SO much for this plugin! Working great on 3 sites now. Now, if you could find a way of forcing all hardcoded stuff like images and galleries to https….. 🙂
Original message was:
Hi Hamburg300 – which WordPress HTTPS plugin did you solve it with?
I tried a few but there are so many. The strange this is, this plugin works OK with my self-hosted nginx install and also a hostgator wordpress install, but I cannot get it to work on a Bluehost-hosted WordPress install.
Everything still seems to be served as http, so of course all the scripts don’t load.
I was wondering if it’s possible that Bluehost were somehow blocking some headers? I see the plugin is looking for $_SERVER['HTTP_CF_VISITOR'] and if that’s blocked, then no wonder it won’t work! Is there a simple way this noob can show the headers, perhaps in the html source only, as a comment?
That way, I could see if anything was getting blocked, and then ask Bluehost why!

Well forcing everything to SSL is another ball-game altogether… there are plugins out there that handle this already, but I prefer to jump directly into the source and change everything from:
http://
to
//
I have even started updating some posts with images so they are // and not HTTP.
If ya don’t mind, would you mind leaving a quick review of the plugin? Helps to let people know the plugin is trustworthy.
Thanks!
Paul.
Good plugin. Can the code be edited to work for one page only
