Mobile theme breaks once I implemented certificates

Posted in: Newspaper

Hello,

When running my homepage on standard http://some1spc.com the mobile and desktop theme work perfectly. After having many issues with stripe declining credit cards due to no HTTPS setup on my website we needed to implement it. Now after being implemented the mobile theme does not allow users to login/join. Is there a fix for this?

Thanks!

Update, this caused too many issues for my users and I had to disable SSL across my entire website. As soon as I did that the login on mobile started working flawlessly again. What could be the possible fix?

Thanks

Hello,

It may have to do with how you are implementing ssl on your site. Please use this guide: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-ssl-and-https-in-wordpress/
https://css-tricks.com/moving-to-https-on-wordpress/

You can also check our forum for some insight on ssl:

It will require a bit of reading on your part.

The hosting can also affect ssl like this issue was solved: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/problem-with-ipadsiphones/

I hope this helps.

Thank you!

Note you do need to setup global redirect to https for your site in htaccess file; also useful to add explicit link to site home/URL as https in your wp-config.php file including force SSL line (See WP ‘codex’ on editing wp-config.php for more info.)

You may also need to do a search/replace in your dbase via mysql/phpmyadmin in your hosting account to make sure all links previously noted as http are setup as https.

Also remember you need to change logo links, any anything like link to RSS feed, in the theme panel to https vs http manually.

After doing all that, be sure to resave permalinks, force reset sitemap XML by turning that off/on in your plugin for that, and if using any secure form, make sure you go to that “page” in your web browser, and do F12 in chrome to see if any http vs https mis-match which cause (!) in browser vs [lock].

I’ve actually just been doing this for our news sites with Newsmag theme.

AND: remember you need to submit https version of site in your Google search console as new site, reconfirm, then resubmit site maps for https version to Google.

And, if using “Let’s Encrypt” SSL cert vs paid version; I found it’s useful to check the box to allow both www and non www access, for some odd reason.

Hope that might help in some small way.
