Wordpress Bug With Redis Cache + HTTPS on WordPress Homepage

tried that but now its saying it redirected too many times..

very weird

any idea what to try next?

 

thanks for the tip re that http header checker, @eva2000

there is no test.vincentius.com.conf.ssl because i didnt create a self-signed ssl cert in the #22 setup

here is test.vincentius.com.conf:

Code:

yes i originally followed that guide. had to re-enable the plugin with wp-cli because despite adding those lines to wp-config.php it was causing a redirect loop.

so what would you recommend now? start #22 again with self-signed cert?

thanks again

 

funny thing is that even if i disable the plugins, the problem persists

 

hey @eva2000 so i've looked into this a bit more. it seems to be nothing to do with rediscache, and more about the wordpress plugins. think i found a workaround, but not sure of the cause of the problem..

here's what i did

1) setup new beta09 install (one-liner) on google cloud instance
2) install wordpress with #22 at test.vincentius.com
3) logged in to wp-admin, ran search and replace from test.vincentius.com – Just another WordPress site to test.vincentius.com – Just another WordPress site
4) viewed test.vincentius.com on incognito browser

here i was encountering the issue of the first page being http, and the others being https..

the "fix" that i found was to disable and re-enable all plugins (in this setup i was using cache enabler plugin). don't know why this worked but it did.

PS dont know if this is useful, but i am using cloudflare, two page rules:

 

hmm highly unlikely that i'm doing https://https://test.vincentius.com but i will try without the search and replace step! will report back.

 

have set up fresh install:

1) setup new beta09 install (one-liner) on google cloud instance
2) install wordpress with #22 at test.vincentius.com, with self-signed cert
3) set up page rules described in previous post (full ssl and force https)
4) viewed test.vincentius.com on incognito browser

issue: does not have ssl unless you manually type https:// beforehand

attempted workaround steps:

1) deactivate caching plugin

issue persisted

any ideas?

 

result of
wp option get siteurl --allow-root
wp option get home --allow-root

was the http version.

added the force ssl code to wp-config, but problem remains. tried to manually chane siteurl and home via the wp-admin settings->general option, but still no joy.

 

ahhh fixed it!

added your suggested 302 redirect from before. i am guessing it didnt work before because i had flexible ssl enabled, and now its full ssl.

added this code to /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/test.vincentius.com.conf

Code:

return 302 https://test.vincentius.com$request_uri;

so it now looks like:

Code:

server {

  server_name test.vincentius.com www.test.vincentius.com;
return 302 https://test.vincentius.com$request_uri;
