Fantastic. Fixed my problem for many many years.
by chufamily·8 months ago

First time I am leaving a wordpress plugin review after my 10+ years experience using wordpress. For some reason, I cannot activate SSL on my own server and cannot use “Full” SSL setting at cloudflare. This plugin solved my problem nicely.

thanks!!

CRAZY? but it works
by cwrksr·1 year ago·1 reply

I dont really understand the problem, because it should redirect loop the whole time, but it doesnt, only on some parts in backend and some problems with plugins.

But anyway, this plugin is the solution, CRAZY? and for free. Respekt. Thank you very much! You saved my life!

moving site from a to b and needed this plugin
by nicmare·2 years ago

i do not really know why. i just wanted to move my site from webspace a to webspace b. so i did that, changed the IPs in DNS settings of cloudflare and voila i was suddenly trapped in an infinite redirection loop. for some reason my webspace b provider does not allow me to acitvate ssl on the domain. i stumpled upon this plugin which seems to fix my issue. so thank you! but i have to admit i still do not understand whats going on 😉
