Wordpress Wordpress install doesn't redirect http to https

How was Wordpress installed ? via centmin.sh menu option 22 ? or manually installed after running centmin.sh menu option 2 or nv cli commandline ?

If you ran centmin.sh menu option 2 or 22, which letsencrypt option did you select from

Code (Text):

-------------------------------------------------------------
Setup full Nginx vhost + Wordpress + WP Plugins
-------------------------------------------------------------

Enter vhost domain name you want to add (without www. prefix): acme3.domain1.com

Create a self-signed SSL certificate Nginx vhost? [y/n]: n
Get Letsencrypt SSL certificate Nginx vhost? [y/n]: y

You have 4 options:
1. issue staging test cert with HTTP + HTTPS
2. issue staging test cert with HTTPS default
3. issue live cert with HTTP + HTTPS
4. issue live cert with HTTPS default
Enter option number 1-4: 1

only option 4 would give you HTTPS default live Letsencrypt SSL cert based site with automatic 302 non-HTTPS to HTTPS redirect. Option 3 would give you HTTPS + non-HTTPS site without a 302 non-HTTPS to HTTPS redirect in which case you manually need to set it up afterwards as per centminmod.com/nginx_domain_dns_setup.html#httpsredirect is the correct way to set it up - pay attention to different way if you want redirect target being www version instead of non-www and vice versa and that the target version www or non-www is the only version listed in server_name for the 2nd/main server {} context.

 

You can check the centmin.sh menu option 22 run's log for clues, you don't have to post it publicly as it would have sensitive info. But below is how you'd inspect and provide the log if you want. Or you can try a 2nd dummy centmin.sh menu option 22 run and see if that also had missing 302 redirect or not on a test VPS etc.

Troubleshooting Centmin Mod Menu Option 22 Wordpress Install Run

To troubleshoot centmin.sh menu option 22 wordpress installation, you need to check the centmin.sh menu option 22 log located in /root/centminlogs at /root/centminlogs/centminmod_*_wordpress_addvhost.log based log where * is the centminmod version and date timestamp. Edit and mask any actual ftp username/password or wordpress usernames and logins before posting the log contents to Pastebin.com or Gists to share a sanitised version of the contents of the log.

Example list /root/centminlogs files in date ascending order and grep for wordpress_addvhost.log

Code (Text):

ls -lahrt /root/centminlogs | grep wordpress_addvhost.log

example output returns log at /root/centminlogs/centminmod_1.2.3-eva2000.09.001_111016-112321_wordpress_addvhost.log

Code (Text):

ls -lahrt /root/centminlogs | grep wordpress_addvhost.log
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 2.2M Oct 11 01:40 /root/centminlogs/centminmod_1.2.3-eva2000.09.001_111016-112321_wordpress_addvhost.log

in SSH use cat to ouput contents of /root/centminlogs/centminmod_1.2.3-eva2000.09.001_111016-112321_wordpress_addvhost.log. Clear your SSH client window/buffer so only output is the contents of the file

Code (Text):

cat /root/centminlogs/centminmod_1.2.3-eva2000.09.001_111016-112321_wordpress_addvhost.log

Then copy and paste into Pastebin.com or Gists entry. If your SSH window scroll buffer isn't that large to get the whole contents of the install log, you can download file manually and copy and paste contents. But makes sure it's sanitised version of the contents without revealing sensitive info. For example you can replace domain name of the wordpress site with generic dummy entry = domain.com if you want and mask site/server IP revealed in the log with generic dummy entry = 111.222.333.444.
