I recently added SSL for wp-admin, wp-login, and all admin access on my site (as described @ http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Over_SSL, although WPEngine did it for me and I can’t say they did it exactly as outlined there).
Everything works okay, except many, I think most, pages in the Simple:Press admin no longer load. They show the “loading” graphic forever but just spin there.
Is this a known issue? I’m running version 5.1.4.
Thanks!
There are no known issues with SSL… We have quite a fair number of users that routinely use this… and we have not heard of any issues from them…
one key is did you properly define the ssl admin and/or login flags in the wp config file? those are critical since wp tells us whether its ssl or not for page loads…
also, might be worth going to forum – integration – page and permalink and update the permalink to make sure it picks up the right protocol…
if not, please advise as to what urls are failing… you will need firefox with firebug or other browser and its dev tool to inspect the ajax responses…
Interesting.
The SSL settings in wp-config look like this:
/*SSLSTART*/ if ( isset($_SERVER[‘HTTP_X_WPE_SSL’]) && $_SERVER[‘HTTP_X_WPE_SSL’] ) $_SERVER[‘HTTPS’] = ‘on’; /*SSLEND*/
The forum integration permalink does specify the https protocol, and maybe that’s the problem. Should it be http instead of https?
thanks!
No… please look at the link you posted and see the proper constants to sue… mainly without the wpe in it…
without that, plugins dont know that wp is running ssl…
