In reply to: [Cloudflare] HTTPS Redirection Stopped workingI see the green padlock on your home page now (on several browsers)– so if you aren’t seeing it, try clearing your browser cache.
Also, just a note — the “Home” page link in your top site menu directs to http:// — it doesn’t really matter because it automatically redirects to https:// — but I’m kind of obsessive about those details. 🙂

In reply to: [Cloudflare] HTTPS Redirection Stopped workingFrom visiting your web site, it only looked like a few URLs had to be fixed — I browsed several pages and only saw the problem on the pages with a slider in the header.
I have not used the plugin you referenced because I have been using the Cloudflare “always https” page rule for most of the sites. I did try that plugin when I was having problems with a specific site, but it didn’t work for me (I think because of a conflict with the premium theme used on that particular site)
I just decided that it was easier in the long run to fix the sites that were giving me problems than to be relying on a plugin, because it is always possible that a plugin will have a conflict, or will have some sort of a bug after an upgrade, or will stop working if it is not upgraded to keep up with new versions of wordpress. So even if it takes extra time in the beginning to find all the problems and fix them, in the long run it is less to worry about as I know I plan to keep all the sites using https protocol from now on. (It is faster because it uses HTTP/2 and SPDY, and it improves Google rankings).

In reply to: [Cloudflare] HTTPS Redirection Stopped workingI’m just a user here (not affiliated with cloudflare), but I’ve now switched almost a dozen WordPress sites on Cloudflare over to HTTPS… and I just gave up on getting HTTPS redirection to work. I do have it turned on for all sites in case there is something I missed, but in the end it was just easier for me to use a search-and-replace plugin to update the database and replace all image links. I’d recommend this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/search-and-replace/ -it has a backup feature built into the plugin, lets you do a dry run which will list all changes that will be made when you run the replace — so the basic steps I follow are:
a) update site settings in WordPress (under General settings) to https:// rather than http://
b) backup database
c) do a search and replace for the wp-options and wp-posts tables to change http://www.mysite to https://www.mysite
d) if there are other image links that need to be updated I repeat the process, backing up the database(That database backups before running the replace are very important! Don’t skip that step.)
I did try to get the https rewrite to work, even submitted a support request — but the bottom line is that the system of rewrites is erratic and unpredictable. It’s not that it never works –the problem is that it works some of the time but not all of the time, on some links but not all links. And it turned out to be easier to just fix my sites than to rely on rewrites being done.
I looked at your site, by the way – and it seems that you only have mixed content on the pages with sliders, so you might not even need to do the steps I outlined above. So you might just try to edit the URL’s for the slider images first and see if that resolves the problem. (I actually did do that first on my sites before using search & replace on databases, for any images that were set via theme options like slider images and buttons/banners, etc.)

In reply to: [Data Tables Generator by Supsystic] Update breaks RSS FeedJust a note in case anyone else has this problem — I did report via your internal system and they provided me with the version 1.49 files. Rollback to v. 1.49 resolved the problem, so it does appear to be a bug of some sort. (I’ll continue to work with your support staff if needed to help track and replicate the issue)

In reply to: [Data Tables Generator by Supsystic] Update breaks RSS FeedIs there a source where I can download version 1.49? It doesn’t seem to be available from WordPress Repository (???) I need to get the problem listed above repaired, as both the RSS feed system and table display are integral to the live site.
Same here – I have just seen this from one site so far. Most of my sites are proxied via Cloudflare.
However, I checked the live traffic logs and visitor IPs are showing up fine.
In any case I went to Wordfence Options, and changed “How does Wordfence get IPs:” to “Use the Cloudflare ‘CF-Connecting-IP” HTTP header to get a visitor IP.” instead. I have the mod_cloudflare extension installed on Apache and as noted the visitor IPs are showing in the logs… but maybe there is something in the way that Wordfence does its scan that results in the error message?
Anyway, if it is Cloudflare issue, then perhaps Wordfence needs to account for that, given the widespread usage of Cloudflare.

In reply to: Problem for RSS feed among wordpress sites hosted on same serverThanks, but I already checked error logs and they aren’t very informative. I think that the RSS feed is fetched using cURL and I’ve checked via Shell and curl cannot fetch the specific feed URLs, though it can pull remote feeds.

In reply to: [WP Server Health Stats] PHP Error messageYes, it did fix the issue – I updated & reactivated several hours ago and have not seen anything in the error logs, so all is well now.

In reply to: [Cloudflare] Wp-Admin not working with HTTPSWhat are your wordpress general settings for wordpress URL and site address? see https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_General_Screen
If you are forcing “always use https” — then wordpress also needs to be configured for https to avoid potential redirect issues.

In reply to: [Cloudflare] 3.0.6 Mixed ContentJohn, I ran into a similar problem with a different site, involving a style sheet associated with a plugin. The stylesheet is local, with the path:
/wp-content/plugins/……/*.css
All other local stylesheets, including stylesheets associated with different plugins, are being properly converted from http: to https:// in the page headers.
I am leaving this in place for now so the problem can be seen for debugging. This issue doesn’t cause a mixed content warning – it just fails to load the stylesheet (noted in the console) and messes up the display of the widget. I assume that I can address the display problem by copying the needed styles into the main site stylesheet — but I am leaving it uncorrected for now so that the problem can be seen.
I did submit a ticket — reference #1269781
The widget display issue is visible on the home page if accessed via https:// (the difference can be seen on the sidebar, by comparing with the display on http:// — the styling provides a tabbed interface along with minor changes to typeface and spacing)
I’m not with cloudflare — just another user — but I’m pretty sure that this is not related to the Cloudflare plugin for WordPress.
Instead, it looks like something cause by a third party app you have enabled from the Cloudflare dashboard. If you log in there and click on the link to menu item “Apps” — and then scroll down that page, there is an App called Open Dyslexic, with this description:
OpenDyslexic
When enabled, overrides fonts on the site with OpenDyslexic, and adds alternate paragraph shading.So it sounds like you have enabled that option in Cloudflare — and that is what is causing your problem. So you should go to that page, make sure that OpenDyslexic is toggled to OFF — and then clear all caches and see whether that resolves the problem.
Unfortunately, in the two browsers I’ve checked (chrome & firefox), it’s very difficult to tell whether that and other apps are toggled to On or Off – I am not seeing any visible styling, just the words, ON and OFF — I suggest you start by clicking OFF and see if that works for you.
