Mr Papa said
and on wp - settings - general admin page, do both the wordpress and site url have https in them?

Not currently, no. Both are set to http://www.forum.radicards.com.

Ok, I'm sorry for not being clear here. Let me clarify:

Settings>General: Both site and wp url aren't grayed out so these two items can be changed.

I've reset both combined css cache, and combined js cache but that didn't fix the issue.

The site currently loads https on all pages. My issue is that when I go to edit a published post, I cannot do so. It simply just reloads the page.

highly doubt that is related to ssl though...  but what is the url of the edit link you are clicking...

fyi, how to setup wp for ssl: https://make.wordpress.org/sup.....wordpress/

plugins have to rely on wp to tell us if its ssl or not...

It's just any post that's been published in my forum. When I click the "Edit" button at the header of any post, it just refreshes the page. Here's a URL:

https://www.forum.radicards.co.....ge-8#p3747

 

Thoughts?

Should I change http to https for the site and WordPress URL in Settings>General?

From my https conversion experience, I found it best to force WordPress into ssl/tls mode by changing the urls in general settings to https. Try this then go and reset your forum page and delete cache, then run repair through housekeeping.

I have both a certificate on my server and use a CloudFlare supplied cert under what they call full ssl. It's much faster than relying on my server to do all the work.

BTW before doing this dump your database!

the plugin should handle it, but I would change the settings as well...

not sure what that link is for...  i believe you are saying it only happens when you try to edit an existing post... is that correct?  if so, what is the url?  it should just add a query arg... wonder if you have mod_security or some other security plugin stripping the query arg...

Another tidbit. Run any insecure pages through this site to see what's barfing.

Looks like you have insecure images. WordPress HTTPS should fix that when sp page is updated to ssl/tls.

Going ssl/tls can be challenging but WordPress and SimplePress handles it great!
