 * After updating to the latest WP4 i am, occasionally, getting redirect loop errors
   reported by customers. We are hosted by WP Engine who have a “Purge all caches(
   Purges everything: The page-cache, the CDN cache, and the object cache)” button
   that fixes things temporarily (a day or two). Additionally, I only see this as
   an anonymous user, if i log into /wp-admin/ the redirect goes away.

   define( ‘WPE_FORCE_SSL_LOGIN’, false ); define( ‘FORCE_SSL_LOGIN’, false );
 * I’ve looked at the other similar tickets, but there doesn’t seem to be a clear
   cause/fix. I assume this is something WP introduced?

 * WP Engine offers 24/7 support as part of what you pay them for, and they have
   better access to look into this than we do.
 * Have you contacted them about this?
 * Offhand, I’d say that `define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN'` should be set to `true` not `
   false`, but `WPE_FORCE_SSL_LOGIN` is something specific to WP Engine, so you 
   should really get in touch with them about this.

 * Okay. I have, and they are looking into it:

 * Just wanted to rule out a generic WP issue. Thanks.

 * You’re welcome! 🙂
 * It’s not a general/common issue, or at least not something with a common fix,
   so I’d rather have them rule-out something on their end first.
