# too many redirects on https error

 * I’ve been running on https without problems for a couple of years, but a post
   I’ve just published is creating ‘too many redirect’ errors in all browsers. Other
   posts load without issue.
 * I don’t have mixed content within the post – that’s an https image link too.
 * The only thing which might be a clue is, up until a recent update to WP, the ‘
   Publish’ box on the WP-Admin post edit page always has an ‘enable SSL’ checkbox,
   which I had to tick for https to work. That check box has now disappeared. Might
   be unrelated, I don’t know.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ftoo-many-redirects-on-https-error%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@modernape](https://wordpress.org/support/users/modernape/).,
 * The most common misconfiguration that we have come across repeatedly is when 
   a user has incorrect URL in WordPress Address URL or Site Address URL settings.
 * WordPress and Site Address settings
 * For example, lets assume that your site’s url is [http://www.example.com](http://www.example.com)
   and you go to Settings » General and set it to [http://example.com](http://example.com).
   Most web hosts allow you to choose whether you would like to add a www prefix
   to your domain name or have it without www. In case you had selected to add www
   to your URL, then adding [http://example.com](http://example.com) in your WordPress
   settings will cause the error. Or if you opted to use your domain without www
   prefix, then adding it with www prefix in WordPress settings will cause this 
   error.
 * When a user will come to [http://example.com](http://example.com), they will 
   be redirected by your server’s configuration to [http://www.example.com](http://www.example.com)
   where they will be redirected back to [http://example.com](http://example.com)
   by WordPress because that’s what you have set up in the settings.
 * If your site was working fine, and you you did not make any changes to those 
   settings. Then you need to contact your web host, because it is most probably
   a configuration issue at their end.
 * However, if you do not have a reliable WordPress hosting provider, and they deny
   having any issues and/or refuse to help you, then you should consider switching
   web hosts or fix it yourself.
 * To fix this, you need to change your WordPress Address and Site Address. Go to
   Settings » General, change your WordPress and Site Address. If you have your 
   address with www prefix, then change it to non-www URL, and if you have it with
   non-www URL then add the www prefix.
 * Important: Make sure that you don’t leave a trailing slash at the end of your
   URL like [http://www.example.com/](http://www.example.com/)
 * Thanks

 * All the site URL settings are correct, as they have been for a couple of years.
   It’s just the latest post that’s the problem.

 * It was a setting in iThemes security, it offers a ‘per content’ ssl setting. 
   So it’s fixed now.
    Thanks for your help though.
