Alot insecure

Looks like you’re behind a load balancer, so WordPress can’t tell that the page has been requested with SSL. If you look in the Tools menu in WordPress admin, you’ll see a link to a test page to see if is_ssl() can detect SSL correctly. It should tell you whether your website is giving you any hints about SSL or not.

Likely, you’ll need to install the plugin from this gist. It detects when you’ve set WordPress to be SSL all the time, and tells WordPress that it’s running on SSL.

Thanks for your response Ross!

I’m sorry to sound like a real noob, but how do I install a php file..
Do I have to extract it to a .zip file, and then upload it via WP-admin ?

G’day Adil,

If you have FTP access to your website, just upload the PHP file into the wp-content/plugins folder. Otherwise, yes, you will need to add it to a .zip file and load that through the WordPress admin.

Did you run “Test is_ssl()” on the Tools menu? What did it say?

cheers,
Ross

Ah okay,

This was the result of the test:
SSL Insecure Content Fixer – is_ssl() test

This page checks to see whether WordPress can even test for SSL. If it can’t, something else needs fixing.

is_ssl() says: no, SSL not detected

Your server may be behind a load balancer or reverse proxy.

Please ask your web hosting provider why your website can’t detect SSL, and show them this article:

WordPress is_ssl() doesn’t work behind some load balancers

So what I know have to do is upload the php file to the plugin map and that should fix it ?

Yes, FTP that .php file into wp-content/plugins and activate it through the plugins admin. You must also ensure that the Site Address and WordPress Address are set to use https in Settings>General.

I’ve changed the site and wordpress adresses to https://, activated the .php plugin, and again did the ssl test.
Same result as mentioned above, plus my website doesn’t load anymore..

It gives me the Error: This webpage has a redirect loop ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

Greetings,
Adil

The is_ssl() test page won’t give a different result, it runs outside of WordPress so it doesn’t get fixed by the plugin; it’s just a diagnostic tool.

If you are getting redirects, then you should delete that .php plugin and contact your website host for support. It sounds like you might have a setting somewhere that is redirecting pages back to http from https.

Or: do you have both SSL Insecure Content Fixer and WordPress HTTPS installed? If so, disable the latter and try again, because it’s been known to create redirect loops.

I currently only have activated SSL insecure Content Fixer and Force SSL URL Scheme.

I have already contacted my hosting for support, and they told me that I have to check the codes of wordpress..

What’s in your .htaccess file? It’s in the root of the website.

It’s completely empty..

Just 5 empty lines.

Oh, you’re running WordPress on a Windows server. [that’s your problem right there ?? ]

You’ll need to find someone who has experience configuring Windows servers to run WordPress properly, i.e. not me. Although WordPress can run on Windows, I’d never recommend it; too many problems. Best go back to your website host and ask them for assistance (and tell them that it’s not WordPress code, it’s their configuration that is broken).

Also: looks like you haven’t deleted that .php plugin yet, for Force SSL URL Scheme. The site is still redirect looping.

cheers,
Ross

Ahh… Okay…

So when I say to my hosting that the problem is in their configration, they will ask me; what configuration.. What do I have to answer on that question..

I have to be prepared to fully answer their standard stupid questions, because they are not really willing to help people. Mostly they give they say that the customer made the fault it self, and has to fix it hisself, like they did to me.

Soo.. can you (exactly) explain what the problem is?

Greetings,
Adil

Send them to this article, so that they know what the problem is. How they solve that on Windows is not something I know.

cheers,
Ross

I’ll try contacting my hosting tommorrow, and will give a feedback on this post ??

Thank you very much for the help, Ross!
