Hi Ross,
I think I am following you, but please confirm.
Since I am using the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO method, I can just set the server HTTPS value to ‘on’ and that will let WordPress know not to try to redirect to SSL, but it won’t do what your plugin does to fix HTTP referenced files, correct?
On another non-WordPress site I have, I am using an Apache rewrite rule to do this at the server level, which I assume should work for WordPress as well?
like this:<IfModule setenvif_module> SetEnvIf X-Forwarded-Proto "^https$" HTTPS=on </IfModule>Thanks for the response!
Cheers,
John
Hi Marius,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
You are definitely on to something with the SSL Insecure Content Fixer plugin.
I was able to enter “Troubleshoot” for that one plugin without any error (though I didn’t see any information that might be useful).
As a test, I tried to disable the SSL Insecure Content Fixer plugin and all hell broke loose. I was then unable to access wp-admin (I have FORCE_SSL_LOGIN and FORCE_SSL_ADMIN enabled) and the public website would not format properly via HTTPS. I had to temporarily allow HTTP admin access to enable the SSL Insecure Content Fixer to restore things to normal.
Regarding your question about the loopback (which I’d like to understand), I did previously test the loopback without plugins and it fails with the too many redirects error.
‘Result from testing without any plugins active and a default theme: The loopback request to your site failed, this may prevent WP_Cron from working, along with theme and plugin editors.
Error encountered: (0) Too many redirects’I hope this is helpful to you and you are able to figure something out.
Thanks,
John
Hi Marius,
My site is running on a Bitnami instance at Amazon AWS, behind a load balancer that handles the HTTPS traffic.
The load balancer seems to cause some odd things, like most plugin updates timing out even though they successfully apply. Figuring this out is on my low priority list as it is more of an annoyance than a problem.
I do have a fair number of plugins installed, both active and inactive. My intent is to eventually delete any inactive plugins, but I don’t think the inactive ones are causing any problems.
The key thing I did not report in my original issue (because I didn’t understand how to use the plugin) was that the redirect errors were caused by the ‘Troubleshoot’ link of the Plugin. I was just now able to successfully use the ‘Health Check’ link, and the requested Debug output is below.

Thanks for the reply.
You say “You can dismiss the “Upgrade notice” & “Review notice” from the “Ultimate CSV Importer Free” plugin.” How?
You also say “he “CRON notice” which helps to the users who are not configured the WP-CRON as default.” WP-CRON is configured to run on my installation, so I do not understand why I am getting this notice.

In reply to: [Really Simple CAPTCHA] SSL secure bug (secured and non-secured issue)Here is a method that worked for me. See the following post for the source of this solution.
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/wp_content_url-based-defines-do-not-work-over-ssl-https
Essentially, I edited wp-includes/default-constants.php and changed the wp_plugin_directory_constants function as follows:
function wp_plugin_directory_constants( ) { /** if ( !defined('WP_CONTENT_URL') ) define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-content'); // full url - WP_CONTENT_DIR is defined further up **/ if ( !defined('WP_CONTENT_URL') ) define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', site_url( 'wp-content') ); // full url - WP_CONTENT_DIR is define with https or http per connectionHopefully this will be helpful to others.
