SSL error – not our site!

  • We need some help making SSL work.
    We have our site hosted at godaddy.com but use WordPress to edit our site.

    We have successfully installed a full version of EasyCart on our site and it works fine, UNTIL, we try to secure the pages (HTTPS).
    We are using the WordPress HTTPS plugin. We have tried Forcing HTTPS and then tried the URL Filters (/Store/, /Account/ and /Cart/).

    The problem we are having is that it is using *.wpengine.com’s Certificate issued by Rapid SSL CA. It won’t allow anything to go into the cart.

    Our Certificate is issued by Godaddy.com because that is where we are hosted.

    Any help?
    Thanks.

    Try a test using SSL without the plugin.
    1. Deactivate WordPress HTTPS plugin
    2. Add the following to your .htaccess file

    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

    BEFORE the WordPress re-write stuff e.g.

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

    Putting the rule before the other WordPress stuff is important.

    This will force ALL pages to serve over https.

    If this fixes your problem, you at least know your SSL certificate is configured properly. (and unless you need to serve some page unsecured, you can leave this rule in htaccess – it’s faster than using a plugin as well.)
