HA Proxy & WordPress
-
Hello everyone,
Currently still learning WordPress so hopefully this is an easy fix. I have installed WP on a Ubuntu box at home.
When I started, it was fine on port 80 but now that HA Proxy is applying a SSL cert and an external address, the appearance editor doesn’t load and I get alerts about APIs being unreachable.
I changed the site address to the external address I will be handing out but when I change the WordPress Address to the same, I loose access completely and have to start again.
Would anyone be able to advise what I can do to get the editor working and the only address to be used is https://blog.wrigglethemouse.com/

Looking at the website source, it appears that everything is looking at my private IP for the admin account!

It sounds like a mixed content or redirect issue caused by the change in WordPress and Site URLs. First, ensure both the WordPress Address and Site Address are set to
https://blog.wrigglethemouse.comin Settings > General. Then, check your database (wp_optionstable) for any lingeringhttp://entries that might need updating.If changing the WordPress Address locks you out, try defining it in
wp-config.phpinstead:
define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘https://blog.wrigglethemouse.com’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘https://blog.wrigglethemouse.com’);
Also, verify HAProxy is correctly forwarding HTTPS requests without breaking internal links. If you still have issues with API calls, a plugin like Traffic Monitor (https://wordpress.org/plugins/traffic-monitor/) can help log blocked or failing requests, revealing what might be interfering. -
I’ve tried this and got exactly the same problem.
The error I continue to get is too many re-directs.

We can’t help as that site isn’t running on the wordpress.com platform. You all must solve your problems by taking a look in the documentation at wordpress.org.
