My clients are pissed and now I’m having to debug 4.5 code on a fri night… I’ll post the fix when I get it * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [_wp_link_placeholder in the Link Tool Options](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/_wp_link_placeholder-in-the-link-tool-options/) * [askapache](https://wordpress.org/support/users/askapache/) * (@askapache) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/_wp_link_placeholder-in-the-link-tool-options/#post-7309213) * This is happening on several of my sites as well… working on a fix now.. This is actually the 2nd tinymce-related bug I’ve found so far that should have blocked the release of 4.5. * Bug seems to be from `wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wplink/plugin.js` or `wp- includes/js/wplink.js` * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Redirect Entire Site to HTTPS](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redirect-entire-site-to-https/) * [askapache](https://wordpress.org/support/users/askapache/) * (@askapache) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redirect-entire-site-to-https/#post-7043994) * Ok actually I just used my headers tool to check https:// wakeup and there is definitely a problem other than htaccess. * You need to find the error log for apache, and then paste in the relevant lines here. A 400 Bad Request error is indicative of a more serious problem than just a https => http redirect, or any redirect. You should also paste in your entire htaccess file (cleaning it to remove any identifiable strings). * Until this issue is resolved your site will be fubar * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Redirect Entire Site to HTTPS](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redirect-entire-site-to-https/) * [askapache](https://wordpress.org/support/users/askapache/) * (@askapache) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redirect-entire-site-to-https/#post-7043993) * Code from Dipak is in the right direction, but I’d reverse the blocks. So: * ``` # BEGIN Force http to https RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L] # END Force http to https # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] # END WordPress ``` * But I really think your problems root cause/culprit is in your database. I posit that your db still has a ton of links to http references, such as to your media files like images. What you need to do is search your entire db for references to `http://` and replace with `https://`. It’s not enough to just setup redirects to https, you need to link to https everywhere. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[AskApache Google 404] Pathetic plugin. waste of time](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pathetic-plugin-waste-of-time/) * Plugin Author [askapache](https://wordpress.org/support/users/askapache/) * (@askapache) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pathetic-plugin-waste-of-time/#post-7906045) * 5.0.2 fixes the issues with the previous versions.
