Wordpress Force non WWW and other URL combinations to HTTPS WWW - Wordpress

• Server (DigitalOcean)
• I'm using LetsEncrypt with Cloudflare (Full) other CF settings untouched.

I only have 3 config files (conf.d) folder:

Code:

mydomain.com.ssl.conf
virtual.conf
demodomain.com.conf

I'm trying to force any URL combinations redirect to

Code:

https://www.mydomain.com

When I

Code:

curl -I https://www.mydomain.com

I get these results:

Code:

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2099 02:04:25 GMT
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Connection: keep-alive
Location: https://mydomain.com/

Following the method Nginx Vhost & NSD DNS Setup - CentminMod.com LEMP Nginx web stack for CentOS

Wordpress Admin Dashboard has URL settings:

Code:

WordPress Address (URL) https://mydomain.com
Site Address (URL) https://mydomain.com

That seems the trigger for too many redirects error (I'm not sure though). If I want to force any URL combinations redirect to

Code:

https://www.mydomain.com

should I change the URL in Wordpress settings below?

Code:

WordPress Address (URL) https://mydomain.com
Site Address (URL) https://mydomain.com (do I need to change to https://www?)

What will happen if access the admin dashboard when I change above URL given my setup with LetsEncrypt and Cloudflare (Full)?
Hope someone can enlighten me about this one. Thanks

@eva2000 This solve my problem! ☕
started exploring centmin way back 2015 and abandoned my started forums and wordpress due to fatherhood , everything back to zero .

Here's my mydomain.ssl.conf for reference:

Code:

#x# HTTPS-DEFAULT
# server { 
#   server_name mydomain.com www.mydomain.com;
#   return 302 https://www.mydomain.com$request_uri;
#   root /home/nginx/domains/mydomain.com/public;
#   include /usr/local/nginx/conf/staticfiles.conf;
# }
server {
  listen 443 ssl http2;
  server_name mydomain.com;
  return 302 https://www.mydomain.com$request_uri;
  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/mydomain.com/mydomain.com.crt.key.conf;
  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl_include.conf;
}
server {
  listen 443 ssl http2 reuseport;
  server_name www.mydomain.com;

  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/mydomain.com/mydomain.com.crt.key.conf;
  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl_include.conf;

  # cloudflare authenticated origin pull cert community.centminmod.com/threads/13847/
  #ssl_client_certificate /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/cloudflare/mydomain.com/origin.crt;
  #ssl_verify_client on;

Hope I did right, it's working on my side. redirects to www https.

 

Done thanks again!
BTW, why I cannot access this URL's

Code:

hostname/memcache_cadfsd9i73429.php
hostname/acdfjsdfjs745924lds_opcache.php
hostname.mydomain.com/8X32_mysqladmin76892

I get ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS errors access in Chrome

But accessing via form 123.X.X.X/memcache_cadfsd9i73429.php works fine. Is that normal or I messed up some configs?

Code:

uname -n
hostname.mydomain.com

virtual.conf

Code:

server {
            listen 80 default_server backlog=16383 reuseport;
            server_name hostnameonly; 
            root   html;

       }

etc/hosts

Code:

# Your system has configured 'manage_etc_hosts' as True.
# As a result, if you wish for changes to this file to persist
# then you will need to either
# a.) make changes to the master file in /etc/cloud/templates/hosts.redhat.tmpl
# b.) change or remove the value of 'manage_etc_hosts' in
#     /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg or cloud-config from user-data
#
# The following lines are desirable for IPv4 capable hosts
123.X.X.X hostname.mydomain.com hostname
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost4.localdomain4 localhost4

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 hostname hostname
::1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

Any advise and tip helps. Thanks

 

Just wow, thank you. As always problem solved! I disable the Always Use HTTPS and created 2 page rules 1 with always use https and the 2nd is forward url 301. Hope I did it right

 

@eva2000
After enabling Full strict I am not able to access this phpymyadmin URL,

Code:

hostname.mydomain.com/8X32_mysqladmin76892

the generated password is not working.
I did a reset but still the newly generated doesn't work. I even did a uninstall and reinstall with phpmyadmin using Addon phpmyadmin.sh - CentminMod.com LEMP Nginx web stack for CentOS but still the generated password will not work during httppassword login prompt.
While accessing these URLs below works fine.

Code:

hostname.mydomain.com/memcache_cadfsd9i73429.php
hostname.mydomain.com/acdfjsdfjs745924lds_opcache.php

Could it be a redirect on Cloudflare? I enable the Always Use HTTPS but 2 URLs above are working while phpmyadmin doesnt accept the generated password. Could it be phpmyadmin conf related files? I didn't touch anything as they are auto generated.
I notice I have these files phpmyadmin_https.conf and phpmyadmin.conf and virtual conf include the phpmyadmin.conf

Code:

location ^~ /8X32_mysqladmin76892/ {
    rewrite ^/(.*) https://hostname.mydomain.com/$1 permanent;
}

While phpmyadmin_https.conf contains

Code:

location ^~ /8X32_mysqladmin76892/ {
    #try_files $uri $uri/ /8X32_mysqladmin76892/index.php?$args;
    include /usr/local/nginx/conf/php_8X32_mysqladmin76892.conf;

    auth_basic      "Private Access";
    auth_basic_user_file  /usr/local/nginx/conf/htpassphpmyadmin;
    allow 127.0.0.1;
    #allow 170.1.11.21;
    #deny all;
}
