Title: Wp-Admin not working with HTTPS Last modified: October 22, 2016 --- # Wp-Admin not working with HTTPS * Resolved [b…b](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bb-4/) * (@bb-4) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/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/*](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](http://MyDomain/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=cloudflare#/?_k=1joy2m)– Gives the **normal** setup screen http**s**://MyyDomain/wp-admin/options-general. php?page=cloudflare#/?_k=1joy2m – Gives a **blank** screen.

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. - This reply was modified 9 years, 6 months ago by [b...b](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bb-4/). - This reply was modified 9 years, 6 months ago by [b...b](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bb-4/). - This reply was modified 9 years, 6 months ago by [b...b](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bb-4/). * Thread Starter [b…b](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bb-4/) * (@bb-4) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-not-working-with-https/#post-8348618) * I think I got it. * Set site url and wordpress url to [http://boundforbliss.net](http://boundforbliss.net) Switched to plugin: CloudFlare Flexible SSL Added plugin: SSL Insecure Content Fixer Turned on CF page rule: [http://*boundforbliss.net/*](http://*boundforbliss.net/*)– Always Use HTTPS. * Seems to be working. 🙂 - This reply was modified 9 years, 6 months ago by [b...b](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bb-4/). * [thellimist](https://wordpress.org/support/users/furkan811/) * (@furkan811) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-not-working-with-https/#post-8348651) * Hi [@bb-4](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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](https://github.com/cloudflare/Cloudflare-WordPress/blob/v3.0.6/cloudflare.loader.php#L10-L16). * Let us know if you have any issues or questions related with the plugin. * Thanks. - This reply was modified 9 years, 6 months ago by [thellimist](https://wordpress.org/support/users/furkan811/).
