Wp-Admin not working with HTTPS
-
Hi Cloudflare is a great service.
My log on to wp-admin is not working with a page rule on and cloudflare plugin activated.
After turning on the page rule: http://*MyDomain.net/* Always Use HTTPS
I try to log in at /wp-admin, the fields reset, after clicking the button, as if I did nothing.
The front end is working correctly in HTTPS with and without the page rule on.
I also tried with additions to .htaccess instead of a page rule. This gives me a redirect loop.
Interesting to note: when logged in to the admin, I goto settings -> cloudflare:
http://MyDomain/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=cloudflare#/?_k=1joy2m – Gives the normal setup screen
https://MyyDomain/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=cloudflare#/?_k=1joy2m – Gives a blank screen.

For each case I changed wordpress general settings for both site url and wordpress url to https://boundforbliss.net
No luck, redirect error for all cases (see below).
Put CF cache into development mode. In each case I viewed the in site incognito mode instead of clearing the browser cache each time.
1. CF page rule off, CF plugin activated, vega-child theme. – redirect error
2. CF page rule on, CF plugin activated, vega-child theme. – redirect error
3. CF page rule off, all plugins deactivated, twentysixteen theme. – redirect error
4. CF page rule on, all plugins deactivated, twentysixteen theme. – redirect error
5. CF page rule off, CF plugin activated, all other plugins deactivated, twentysixteen theme. – redirect error
6. CF page rule on, CF plugin activated, all other plugins deactivated, twentysixteen theme. – redirect error.If general settings are http and the CF page rule is on, everything works except the login and the CF plugin settings screen is blank. If I am already logged in and turn the CF page rule on, I can use the wordpress admin area. When I log out and try to log back in the fields reset and nothing happens.
I think I got it.
Set site url and wordpress url to http://boundforbliss.net
Switched to plugin: CloudFlare Flexible SSL
Added plugin: SSL Insecure Content Fixer
Turned on CF page rule: http://*boundforbliss.net/* – Always Use HTTPS.Seems to be working. 🙂
Hi @bb-4,
I’m glad you’ve fixed the issue. I wanted to let you know that you shouldn’t need to swap for “CloudFlare Flexible SSL” since Cloudflare plugin already fixes the flexible SSL issue.
Let us know if you have any issues or questions related with the plugin.
Thanks.
