I just checked and there’s a bunch of iThemes Security stuff in htaccess, but nothing about SSL or https.

I did ask dreamhost to move the entire site to https, and the support guy did but we ran into the same problem I had alone —?the css wouldn’t load, and I couldn’t get to the dashboard. We ended up reverting back to where we started, after an hour of futzing around.

And yet that didn’t work. When I did that the site broke, the css didn’t load, and I couldn’t get to the admin dashboard. I had to switch them back using phpmyadmin.

What is actually happening contradicts the simplicity of what you are describing, so there’s got to be more to it.

if it’s not configured correctly, how do I correctly configure it? And if it’s not that, what other factors could be causing this effect?

Thanks for the help Mike. How do I go about configuring it correctly? According to support on my host (dreamhost) everything is configured correctly. I tested it at https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/ and it came out all “A”s.

and wouldn’t I need to find and replace all http instances to https? That’s what is said to do here: https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/218428687-How-do-I-use-an-SSL-certificate-with-WordPress- (but when I tried that it didn’t work either…)

I’m pretty stuck here. Everyone from all the services (dreamhost, woothemes, the developer of my theme, etc) are all shrugging and pointing at the other guy.

I spent an hour on a call with my hosting company today trying to implement https site-wide and we kept running into problems. We ended up back where we started. He said to contact Woocommerce.

Woocommerce has an option to force SSL on the checkout process, so it seems that would be easiest of all. But that’s not working. When that is checked the Checkout page will not load at all and the cart is still missing the button. But I need SSL throughout the checkout process.

Also found on the woocommerce site that they recommend against having https throughout the entire site because it can cause caching issues and a few other reasons.

My theme is Salient from ThemeNectar (via Themeforest and the Envato Market) —?I did see someone having the same problem on their support page, but the solution given didn’t work for me. Unfortunately my support has expired with them and I’d like to figure it out without having to pay another $40 for them to tell me what they broke with an update along the way, but I might have to.

ancawonka, I was actually looking into having my whole site on http, but I read somewhere that it impacts performance and it isn’t necessary on pages that don’t pass user information (which is why woocommerce would have the option to force it only on the checkout process right?) —?is there a good reason to serve the whole site through http? and was that info I read about performance impacts incorrect?
Either way, turning off SSL didn’t fix the problem of the checkout button being missing on the cart page. It was still gone. The checkout page would load though.
But I need both to work; I need SSL to be on in the checkout process, and I need the button to show and the page to load.
I have come across other people having the same problem, but no clear answers as to how to fix it. Even the instructions I found for how to implement SSL sitewide were incomplete — when I tried to follow them I broke the site completely.
Any help, or pointing in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks for the help.

Actually Mike that didn’t work.

Thanks for the answer Mike. Ok, but I have an SSL Certificate. Why would SSL be stopping woocommerce from working properly?

Thanks. I read that thread but still not sure what to do. My issues seems a bit different.

I changed the log location to “…/wp-content/uploads/backwpup-a61f8e-logs/” but it still added this extra stuff “/home/ocgupodcast/podcast.overcominggoingunder.com/…/wp-content/uploads/backwpup-a61f8e-logs/” but the error for the logs went away when I tried it again so maybe that’s ok.

Unfortunately the first part of the error “Cannot create folder: /backwpup-a61f8e-temp” is still causing it to error out.

I’m not sure where to put that folder. Looks like it’s at the top level but I’m not sure. I tried a couple places with no luck.

I think I’m going to need to abandon this plugin and find another way to back my sites up. Unless I can get a clear answer here that is. Thanks for you help.

Here is the error message:
Cannot create folder: /backwpup-a61f8e-temp

Cannot create folder: /home/.wolfgang/ocgupodcast/podcast.overcominggoingunder.com/wp-content/uploads/backwpup-a61f8e-logs

any ideas?

Hello,

I’m new to wordpress and I’m trying to use the audio player plugin for the first time. I installed it and all looks fine in the settings but when I try and insert an mp3 into a post or a page the audio player button is not there and it just makes a text link to the mp3.

I tried uninstalling the plugin and reinstalling, reverting to the previous version, deactivating other plugins and retesting and nothing is working. any suggestions?

I’m sorry if this has been addressed already –?I searched around for similar problems but didn’t really find anything.
