@drawmyface – Thanks for responding! I just deactivated and deleted Classic Editor, which I only reinstalled after last time I tried deleting it for this same issue. I’m not having the same problem I was before, I’ll try to explain it as clearly as possible…

With Classic Editor installed, when I’d hover over a post title in Calypso, it’d clearly show the wp-admin URL, and that’s where’d I’d be redirected when clicked.

Now, after deactivating and deleting Classic Editor plus deleting and reinstalling Jetpack, when I hover over a title, it no longer shows a wp-admin URL and appears as though it’ll keep me in Calypso. Image for reference.

However, when I click the post title to edit, it immediately opens this page, sits there for a few seconds, then redirects to wp-admin.

I can’t figure out for the life of me what exactly isn’t connecting, as I’m pretty certain I’m logged in to all the things. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi @htdat, I just noticed the Github thread has been closed and was curious if any solutions have come up for this issue. I’m still unable to edit from within Calypso and would love to be able to!

After doing multiple hard refreshes in both wp-admin and Calypso, nothing was changing, so out of curiosity, I reinstalled Classic Editor. Sure enough, hovering over a link in Calypso now shows the wp-admin URL. Seems like this plugin is at least part of the issue.

Happy to do what I can to help, and I can’t tell you how much appreciate the time you’re all spending on this issue with me. Thank you!!

So, I did some experimenting a little bit tonight, which involved me doing the following in order:

1. Deactivate and delete Classic Editor plugin
2. Deactivate and delete Jetpack plugin
3. Install and activate Jetpack plugin

Now, when I hover over a draft link, published post, or “Add new post” in Calypso, the associated link looks like it used to before the problem started, rather than showing the wp-admin link. Here’s a pic.

When I click a link to edit, it initially shows a blank page for about 2 seconds, then this shows up, sometimes with a message that says something like, “Brulosophy.com is not connecting.”

After another 2-3 seconds, I get automatically redirected to wp-admin, you can see the URL here.

This is obviously a step in the right direction, but it’s still not working properly. Close but no cigar!

Figured out the cURL issue – the plugin wasn’t recognizing the httpS URL of the recipe file; deleting the “s” resolved the issue.

Made the change you suggested and no change, I’m still being redirected to wp-admin.

Okay, so here’s another issue I’m running into, which I believe to be related to the recent change form http to https.

I used a plugin called BeerXML Shortcode to display beer recipes, which are in .xml format. Since yesterday, when I try to put a recipe in an article, it shows the following error message rather than the recipe:

XML not retrieved: cURL error 60: Peer’s Certificate has expired.

I’ve currently got open tickets with both my host and Sucuri. Any idea what might be causing this issue?

Just deactivated, deleted, reinstalled, and reconnected Jetpack. Still nada.

@ryancowles – Disconnected and reconnected Jetpack, no change; I’m still redirected to wp-admin when attempting to edit from Calypso.

Everything else is looking good, but I’m still getting redirected to wp-admin when trying to edit from Calypso.

Okay, it was something with Sucuri, I think we’re back in action. I’ve gotta run for now, I’ll check Calypso again this evening. Thanks!

Yep, still on the line with them in fact. They had me install the Really Simple SSL plugin (from Calypso), but that’s still not allowing me to access wp-admin ??

Well, after clearing cookies, I changed my URLs to https as instructed, but when I pressed save, it opened a “This page isn’t working” page. Every time I try to login to wp-admin, this is what I get. I am able to login to Calypso, but when I try to edit an article or draft, it still redirects me to wp-admin… which is that aforementioned error page.

I’m a bit anxious now, as I was in the middle of editing an article that needs to be ready soon.

It’s now been 2 days and I’m still being redirected. For now, I’ll be reinstalling the Classic Editor plugin.

So it’s been about 45 minutes since I deactivated and deleted the Classic Editor plugin. One positive is that I’m sorta getting the hang of the block editor (copy/paste previous articles helps), but unfortunately, I’m still being redirected to wp-admin when trying to edit a draft or add new post from within Calypso.

@macmanx – I thought that might be it when the issue first arose, so I deactivated that plugin and it didn’t fix the issue. I loathe the block editor, but I’d be willing to adapt if it allows me to use Calypso. Deactivating again now, I’ll report back after everything has time to update.
