Hi,
I just bought the template and before installing it, I’d like to get the starting configuration correctly.
I’d like to use HTTPS, Cloudflare and Redis object caching.
Cloudflare is configured according to your guide, WordPress is installed using https (the homeUrl is https://domain.com) and Redis is configured and set to use this wordpress script
The questions I have:
1. Do I need Cloudflare WordPress plugin? If so, is it enough just to apply it and let it use default settings?
2. Are there any incompatibilities with HTTPS? (Let’s encrypt, if matters). Are plugins like Simple SSL needed to avoid mixed content? Couldn’t find any information in the documentation
3. As I haven’t found anything related to Redis, are there any known issues with the wordpress script or reasons why i should not use it? (Yes, I am planning to set up WP Super Cache as well).
I know these might not be standard questions, but it’s important to get the start correctly, else it will always come back to this moment later on.
Thanks!
Hello,
1. You do not have to use the plugin. Just use these settings in the cloudflare server: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/ (if the plugin was required, it would have been specified in the documentation)
2. Our theme is fully compatible with https. You do not need any at all plugins to move to ssl.
3. Unfortunately since the plugin is not tested I cannot say for sure if it will work or not. You wuill have to try it out with a bit of trail and error. We only recommend wp super cache and these settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to reply!
Regarding 1. : Is there a way to test if it actually does something?
Regarding 2. : How would I avoid mixed content (HTTP/HTTPS) ? Is there a guide on what I have to do, or just installing WordPress using HTTPS as default is enough ? Any .htaccess rules or page rules in Cloudflare needed, redirections or others?
Thank you.
Hello,
1. For this you will have to contact your cdn host and they will instruct you how you can test their service. The only test I could provide is the google page speed. That is the main reason for using a cdn server, in order to load content faster and keep your host server requests low.
2. Please check this few guides: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-ssl-and-https-in-wordpress/
