https custom header logo

[Mitssumi]

Hi,

We are force using https traffic only.
The custom header logo uses a http link at single page and https link on the homepage.
Seems something is wrong with the code or using relative links.

Homepage:

Single page:

Most recent themes used: Genesis & Digital Pro
Live url: https://goo.gl/9oY0mT

There's something else going on with your site that may be related to caching. You home page is using autoptimize to minimize and combine your CSS. The interior pages are not using the autoptimize CSS, but are showing the logo link as inline CSS.

I disabled the autoptimize plugin and cleared all the cache (cache enabler plugin + cloudflare).

It's not possible to tell from the front end what's happening, but I have two thoughts.

This could be related to your server configuration. Genesis retrieves custom header images using the WordPress get_header_image() function. This WordPress function sets the url with another function named set_url_scheme(). set_url_scheme() in turn uses a function named is_ssl() to determine whether to append http or https as the protocol. It does this by reading server port 443 to see if a SSL certificate is attached to the port. Depending on your host, is_ssl doesn't work behind some load balancers. This article explains the problem and potential fixes, https://snippets.webaware.com.au/snippets/wordpress-is_ssl-doesnt-work-behind-some-load-balancers/

The second thought is to use a tool like Better Search and Replace to change any instances of http stored in your database to https.

Hi Victor,

Nothing hard coded in de code or database.
Solved the issue by forcing wordpress to use https

if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO']) && $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'] == 'https')
    $_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'on';

Problem was Cloudflare acting as a transparant or reversed proxy.
Cloudflare redirects all http traffic to https, so no harm done.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction Victor!

Doesn't Cloudflare have a setting for https?
