889579 - Mixed active content https://blog.webmaker.org

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webmaker Graveyard :: DevOps, defect)

Description

[Jon Buckley [:jbuck]]

Just added SSL to this site, and it has similar mixed content issues to the Mozilla Ignite blog. The simplest solution may be to install http://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-https/

CSS and javascript is blocked, which means that the site is also broken on Chrome and probably IE (which I don't have to test with).

I think this is solvable without installing a plugin. First thing to check is that your site url is https.

Brett, can you recommend someone on your team I can work with to resolve as the site is currently broken in chrome, ie and soon FF.

:OpenMatt, can you create an admin account for me?

:bensternthal, happy to work with you to fix this. FWIW, I changed the Site URL to https://blog.webmaker.org and it didn't make a difference. Could also be something hard-coded within the theme I suppose?

* @ JBuck: done!

Thanks Matt!

The fix ended up being defining the following variable in wp-config.php:

$_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'on';

This is because wordpress does not have support for running behind an https load balancer, as documented in http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Over_SSL#Using_a_Reverse_Proxy .

Possibly cached or maybe related to being logged into admin.

Can you logout of the admin and double check.

If it does happen again please include url and screenshot of devtools showing what content is being blocked.

Checking on aurora and chrome I do not see the issue in the screenshot.

* I cleared cache. No joy.
* I am unable to access https://blog.webmaker.org/wp-login -- I get an "unable to connect" message 
* running FF 22.0
* having the same issue in Chrome

1. Please go to https://blog.webmaker.org/wp-admin if you are logged out already go to step2. If you are logged in, click logout under your name in the upper right. If it fails please paste the url here.

2. Once you are logged out please do a hard refresh (shift refresh) and confirm if the site is still borked.

If it is.. reach out to me on IRC. bensternthal

Everything looks to be rendering fine for me and i pinged other folks in IRC who also do not see this problem.
