Hey thanks for your reply.

I ran debug in my wp-config.php file and when I opened the report I got the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function alo_em_user_can_edit_newsletter() in /home/MYSITE/public_html/wp-content/plugins/alo-easymail/pages/alo-easymail-admin-report.php on line 26

What is causing the error and how do I fix it?

Thanks for your help.

Sybre and Bjarne

Thanks very much for your kind assistance and support. It is valued and very much appreciated.

1. BACKUPS: Yes I always make a backup of my db. I note that that can be done manually via export in Myphpadmin, or Cpanel, or by plugin. I use WP Database Backup which, although the UI is a bit cluttered, seems to work well. I also do whole site backups using All In One Migration which I find is very good. I complete manual whole site back ups as well just to be safe.

2. Better Search and Replace: Thanks Bjarne, yes I used this plugin and I like its Dry Run function. However, I did not create relative urls as you did (because I had read some stuff that said they are bad, even though I didn’t understand any of the explanation). Instead I just searched for all http and replaced with https.

3. HTACCESS REDIRECT CODE: Let me please explain why I asked if this code still needs to be added to my htaccess file. While waiting for a response from the author of Bird’s Custom Login, I resolved the mixed content issue by using a plugin called SSL Insecure Content Fixer. It fixed the problem straight out of the box. At the bottom of the settings page there are several options to select the type of HTTPS detection. On my installation it suggests that the standard wordpress function is recommended. The plugin also creates a page called SSL Tests that appears as a link under the Tools tab in admin. The information on that page states:

Your server can detect HTTPS normally. The recommended setting for HTTPS detection is standard WordPress function.

So I thought that I was good to go without inserting the redirect code into my htaccess file. Late last night I also checked dozens of links in google and they all directed to https version of my site. But just to be sure, I thought it wise to check with Sybre.

But then this morning, I found a link in Google that did NOT redirect to https, and so I added the code to my htaccess file and rechecked the same link and it now redirects to the https page. So, as I expected, Sybre is 100% correct.

4. PLUGIN LOAD: Still no response from the author of Bird’s Custom Login. I have a forum on my site so I needed a custom login, I spent days sifting through the various custom login plugins and the ONLY one I found that worked without bugs was BCL. And no kidding, I tested dozens. Unfortunately I do not have the skills to code my own login form. Hopefully, the author will get back to me with a fix, after all it is just two tiny strings that are causing the mixed content issue: one calling the login page background image and the other calling my custom logo. If the author provides a fix then I can delete SSL Insecure Content Fixer to reduce my plugin count. With regard to plugin load I tried the popular Plugin Organizer plugin but it was buggy and the UI is dreadfully complex. I am now using a little know plugin in the WP repository called Plugin Load Filter (I was already running it to limit my payment gateway plugin to running just on the payments page) It does not have the range of settings option that Plugin Organizer has, but it has enough and is easy to use. With an admin plugin such as SSL Insecure Content, you can just set it to run in Admin only and then (in my case because the mixed content is only in admin area) the impact of the SSL Insecure Content plugin on the over site speed should be minimal.

5. NEXT UPDATE: Sybre, I am looking forward to your next update. And when it arrives I will remove the redirect from my htaccess file. To my surprise, late last night when I was checking search engine links to my site I discovered that on its niche key words it is already ranked NO 1. in Bing and about the third entry on page 2. for Google. The site has only been live now for a month or so, and doesn’t yet have a great deal of content, the forum is still a ghost town, so I think that is good right? And that success has to attributed to Sybre’s great plugin (and perhaps my ability to write post titles that appear as green in the SEO Framwork UI.. 🙂

Any way I just thought that I would post a follow up report here for any other WP members who follow this thread. I will report back again if/when the author of Bird’s Custom Login provides a fix. And I am looking forward to Sybre’s new update that will include the option to redirect to SSL in the UI of the SEO Framework.

Thanks again for your insights and assistance.

Kind Regards

Max

Hey Sybre

Sorry to bother you again. I know you are very busy.

As always nothing seems to go easy.

FIRST ISSUE
I followed your instructions and also the follow up report by Bjarne is his post here:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recommmended-settings-with-additional-https-site/

Unlike Bjarne, I have NOT YET added the redirect code to my htacess file. However, existing links in google and bing etc, still redirect to the https version of the page. Also, unlike Bjarne, if I manually type in the http address for my site, it ends up on the https page. That is all good.

However, what I want to know is DO I STILL NEED TO ADD THE REDIRECT CODE TO MY HTACESS FILE. Or because everything seems to be working I can leave it out?

SECOND ISSUE
I am now running a https across all of my site. I edited the wp-config with a snippet to force ssl for login rego etc and admin.

However I am not getting green padlock on login and admin pages because I used Bird’s custom login plugin to have custom background and logo on my login page.

That plugin pulls the images from the media library as http not https. For example,my custom logo appears in css of the login page as:

 #login h1 a {
    background-image: url("http://MySite.com/wp-content/uploads/Site-Logo.png");

The result is mixed content message and no green padlock.

I have contacted the dev of the plugin but no response.

Is there a simple fix (edit css in my child theme?) that I can use to address this problem?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Kind Regards

Hey Sy

How is the update coming along?

Kind Regards

Max

How can I create a filter, when I want to go to that link in my admin menu I get the error message?

Is there a functionality snippet that I can use so that your plugin only loads on one page.

My site is text based with very few small graphics. It is a big site with just one page used for chat.

However your plugin effectively doubles the load time across all pages of my site, included the home page.

Perhaps a significant improvement to your plugin would be an option to select “only load wise chat on a page that includes a WC shortcode”.

That way, the rest of a big site would load at normal speed, and your plugin would only slow the load speed on a page that has chat.

In the interim. Is there a snippet that I can add to my functionality plugin that can stop WC loading on all pages except one (identified by page ID)?

Kind Regards

Max

Hey Jeff

Thanks very much for your prompt reply.

Nope. Triple check that as it was my first thought. Bounced off the wall for two days in fact.

I had Peters plugin turned on in global. And I only run four filters none of which turned it back off…

Have just finished adding redirect codes direct to my functionality plugin and deleted Peters and the bug is now gone.

So I guess one positive out of my lost days was now I have one less plugin in my line up.

I while surfing around today looking for alternatives. I noticed that you had written some stuff on disabling double clicking on a submit button.

My rego form has a redirection and it takes a little time for it to grind through. If the user double clicks on the rego submit button they are left with an error message and then don’t know to check their inbox for the creat e password email.

Do you know of a functions snippet that disables the submit button after the first click?

Thanks again for you prompt reply.

Kind Regards

Sorry no Url it is a local dev on Xampp.

I use comet cache however I have tested deactivating it and the results come in the same. Activating you plugin adds 2.2+ seconds.

I am running at well coded theme: GP

34 plugins
Overall load time: 3.252
Plugin impact: 89.4%
Your Plugin: 2.1386 (66%)

What can be done?

What is the bench mark load time for you plugin on other install?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Kind Regards

Max
