Using Cloudflare for SSL problem

Website Building
#8

I did turn the clouds back on, but it didn’t get https, do I have to wait for sometime?

#9

Yes, it may take 24 hours to propagate globally. Also make sure that you have a valid SSL certificate. You can find that from the Cyrto tab in CloudFlare. :smile:

#10

I see, in Crypto tab it said

SSL certificate issuance may take up to 24 hours

so let’s wait! Thanks so much for your supporting!

Hi Austin,

I checked my website just now, both with Wordpress and site URL still haven’t got to https…
Turning the orange clouds on or off doesn’t change anything either. Can you tell me what should I do?

#14

If you could, can you please add me as a team member for your CloudFlare account? That way, I’ll be able to edit any settings that aren’t correctly set. My email is: accounts@myhexa.co :slight_smile:

#15

I just did! please check you email :slight_smile:

#16

Thanks :smile:. I just took a look at your CloudFlare account and it shows that your SSL certificate is still propagating. Did you change the SSL certificate option recently? :slight_smile:

#17

You mean the options of setting SSL to “flexible, full or off?”
I changed it yesterday and haven’t touched it again.
Btw do I have to do any setting in my Wordpress too?
Seems like I can’t access it either tho…

#18

You may have to wait a bit longer for SSL to propagate, as it’s currently not finished yet. Once that’s done, your WordPress site should work correctly, but if it doesn’t, you’ll want to install a CloudFlare flexible SSL plugin. Just search “CloudFlare SSL” in the plugins center of WordPress. :wink:

Hi, dunno if you ever got this figured out, but it seems you were parking your domain instead of pointing it. Also, Cloudflare has been having some issues with their SSL infrastructure recently, so it sometimes takes a while to get a certificate.

#20

You will also need to change your wordpress URL to version with https in your general settings of your site.

#21

Hi Sulliops,

Yes that’s what I was concerned actually. I did choose the “pointing” option,
browser informed me with a successful message, but the parking status wasn’t changed.
I tried again several times but no different…

#22

Hi Ausbel

Yes I also changed my wordpress URL to https already… but now I can’t even access the wp-admin php anymore to make any changes to it ^ ^!

#23

Thank you Austin :slight_smile:

I’ll wait a little bit longer, since I can’t access the wp-admin page so I can’t try the plugin now. But thanks for the suggestion!

#24

If you can’t access the wp-admin page because you forced SSL, follow this tutorial to change the HTTPS to HTTP in the database.

Use Option 3 in that tutorial.

Once you’ve done that, I suggest you start on the Cloudflare tutorial from the beginning. It’s possible that the procedure was done incorrectly somewhere along the way. If that doesn’t help, check the status of the SSL certificate under the Crypto tab in Cloudflare. If it still says processing, open a support ticket with Cloudflare and they’ll handle it for you.

#25

Thank you Sulliops!

I could access the wp-admin now, although the https is still not recognized, I can view and edit it :slight_smile:
I’ve changed the URL back to http.
Thank you!

Where is the issue occurring? In CloudFlare or in your 000webhost account?

As I said it wasn’t really an error occurring anywhere, or maybe I didn’t catch any …
But like In post #5 and #6 I attached an image of what I thought should be displayed when pointing my domain (in 000webhost), and instead it just said “parked”, even though the browser replied “web address updated”. So I don’t know what is wrong here. Any suggestion where I should check?
