Almost running W3TC on Windows IIS8.5 with OpCode:WinCache: https fails

Hi,

I want to run my WP site on IIS and in HTTPS mode. I am still doubting because I certainly do not like the weak security of WordPress/ PHP with respect to the wp-content folder. I did not get any response how to properly setup.

I fear write/modify/full control permissions on the wp-content folder. So I want to use OpCode:WinCache so I do not have any plugin to write to the wp-content folder and modify for instance a page with cache and inject to site visitors.

This seems to work for https if I do not set the site (WordPress Address (URL)) and home url (Site Address (URL)) with https:// but with http. But then I get unsecure content warnings like HTTPS security is compromised by mydomain.com/wp-content/uploads/js_composer/custom.css

I will request the maker of the “WPBakery Visual Composer (Modified Version)”as well.

But maybe it is related to the W3TC module or some setting I am overlooking. I see your site is running https ..so it must be doable.

Help appreciated ..from a Microsoft (IIS) doubting to go Linux, but not if this module runs as a charm.

Tip 1: take notice that WP_CACHE must be before wp-settings.php

/** Enable W3 Total Cache */
define(‘WP_CACHE’, true); // Added by W3 Total Cache

/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) )
define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’);

/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);
