Runar du på SSL issues på din website i WordPress?
Att flytta en WordPress site till SSL kan ibland resultera i oväntade issues. Om du lägger till ett SSL-certifikat på en befintlig WordPress site och runar på error, då har du kommit till rätt ställe.
I den här artikeln kommer vi att visa dig hur du fixar de vanligaste SSL-problemen i WordPress.
Vad är SSL/HTTPS och varför ska du börja använda det direkt?
SSL är en förkortning som används för Secure Sockets Layers, en krypteringsteknik som skapar en säker anslutning mellan användarens webbläsare och din WordPress webbhotell server.
När du har aktiverat SSL kommer din website att använda HTTPS istället för HTTP. You will also see a padlock or ”tune” sign next to your website address in the browser to show that it is secure.
SSL/HTTPS gör det svårare för hackare att tjuvlyssna på anslutningen. Varje SSL/HTTPS-aktiverad site får ett unikt SSL-certifikat issue för identifiering.
Om en server bara låtsas vara på HTTPS och dess certifikat inte matchar, kommer de flesta moderna webbläsare att varna användaren från att ansluta till webbplatsen.
Google uppmuntrar alla ägare av websites att använda SSL/HTTPS i order att förbättra den övergripande säkerheten på webben.
Det är därför Chrome markerar alla websites utan SSL-certifikat som ”Ej säkra”.
Etiketten ”Not secure” i webbläsarens adressfält ger dina kunder ett dåligt intryck av ditt företag. Notis: Du behöver också aktivera SSL/HTTPS om du vill starta en butik på nätet eller använda betaltjänster som PayPal, Stripe och Authorize.net.
Med tanke på för- och nackdelar måste all WordPress websites byta till SSL/HTTPS.
Om du inte redan har gjort det, kan du läsa vår guide om hur du flyttar WordPress från HTTP till HTTPS för steg-för-steg-instruktioner.
Rekommenderas: Kontrollera vår guide om hur du får ett gratis SSL-certifikat eller köp ett SSL-certifikat till rabatterat pris från Domain.com.
Du kan dock runna på några WordPress error med ditt SSL-certifikat. Så låt oss ta en titt på några av de vanligaste issues med SSL/HTTPS i WordPress och hur du fixar dem:
1. Fixa felet NET::ERR_CERT_INVALID
NET::ERR_CERT_INVALID error message visas i Google Chrome. Andra webbläsare visar ett något annorlunda message, men det varnar i princip användarna för att deras anslutning till din website är osäker.
Detta SSL error message indikerar att användarens web browser inte godkände det certifikat som presenterades av websiten. Detta kan hända av flera olika anledningar:
- SSL-certifikatet är issue till ett annat domain name eller subdomain.
- Certifikatet har löpt ut.
- Din webbläsare auktoriserar inte den certifikatutfärdande myndigheten.
Om du köpte ett SSL-certifikat och bad din WordPress hosting provider att installera det åt dig, kan du kontakta dem för att fixa det åt dig.
Om du installerade SSL-certifikatet manuellt kan du försöka installera om det eller kontakta din provider för support for SSL-certifikat.
2. Fixa mixed content error efter övergång till SSL/HTTPS
Mixed content errors orsakas av källor som fortfarande hämtar med hjälp av det osäkra HTTP-protokollet i URL:erna. Dessa kan innehålla resurser som images, skript eller stylesheets.
Om så är fallet kommer du ej att kunna se ett säkert hänglås eller en ”tune”-icon i adressfältet på din website.
Det finns två sätt att fixa SSL/HTTPS mixed content error i WordPress. Vi kommer att visa dig dem båda, och sedan kan du välja det som fungerar bäst för dig.
1. Fixa mixed content error i WordPress med hjälp av ett plugin
Den här metoden är enklare och rekommenderas för Beginnare. Men det kan ha en negativ inverkan på din WordPress-prestanda eftersom tillägget försöker fixa mixed content error genom att använda en utgångsbuffringsteknik.
Men om du använder ett plugin för caching kommer det bara att påverka den första page-laddningen. Återkommande besökare kommer inte att notera någon skillnad i prestanda.
Först måste du se till att du har ett SSL-certifikat. Om du ej är säker på om du har ett, se vår guide om hur du skaffar ett gratis SSL-certifikat för din website i WordPress.
Sedan är det bara att installera och aktivera Really Simple SSL plugin. För mer detaljer, vänligen se vår Step-by-Step guide om hur man installerar ett plugin för WordPress.
Efter aktivering måste du besöka Settings ” SSL page från din WordPress adminpanel för att reviewer plugin-inställningarna. Really Simple SSL fungerar direkt ur boxen och kommer automatiskt att ta hand om dina SSL/HTTPS-inställningar och fixa mixed content error.
För att lära dig mer, se vår detaljerade Really Simple SSL review.
2. Manuellt Fixa Mixed Content Error i WordPress
Den här metoden är mer effektiv och bättre för din websites prestanda. Det kräver dock manuell felsökning.
Först måste du gå till Settings ” Allmänt och se till att alternativen ”WordPress Address” och ”Site Address” har HTTPS URL:er.
Om du ser URL:er som börjar med ”http” måste du gå vidare och ändra dem till ”https”. Glöm inte att klicka på knappen ”Save Changes” för att spara dina inställningar.
Därefter måste du hitta de gamla HTTP-URL:erna i din WordPress database och ersätta dem med de new HTTPS-URL:erna.
Du kan enkelt göra det genom att installera och aktivera pluginet Search & Replace Everything. För mer detaljer, se vår Step-by-Step guide om hur du installerar ett WordPress plugin.
Efter aktivering måste du besöka Tools ” WP Search & Replace page. I fältet ”Search” måste du add to din website URL med HTTP. Efter det, add your website URL with ’https’ in the ’Replace’ field.
Tryck sedan på knappen ”Preview Search & Replace” för att se vilka URL:er som kommer att ersättas, och tryck på knappen ”Replace All” för att fortsätta. Pluginet kommer nu att update URL:er i din WordPress database.
Om du fortfarande ser mixed content error, är nästa steg att troubleshoota URL:er i dina WordPress theme- och plugin-filer.
Med hjälp av webbläsarens inspektionsverktyg måste du lokalisera de resurser som orsakar error och obs/observera vilka website-filer de hämtar från.
Om du har erfarenhet av att editera WordPress-filer kan du komma åt dessa theme-filer med FTP eller filhanteraren på ditt webbhotell. You need to edit each file and replace ”http” with ”https”.
Ett annat alternativ är att kontakta utvecklaren av temat och be dem att updating sitt theme. De kommer att behöva använda WordPress bästa praxis för att hämta filer, vilket kommer att fixa HTTP/HTTPS-problemet.
Detsamma gäller för blandat content som hämtar från ett WordPress plugin. Vi rekommenderar inte att du själv editerar plugin-filer, så du bör meddela plugin-utvecklaren och requesta en update. Under tiden kan du inaktivera pluginet på din site eller hitta ett alternativt plugin.
3. Fixa error med för många redirects efter övergång till SSL/HTTPS
WordPress tillåter dig att genomdriva SSL/HTTPS för admin area genom att enter följande rad i din wp-config.php-fil:
define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);
I vissa scenarier kan dock enbart den här inställningen orsaka error:n ”Too many redirects”.
För att fixa detta måste du add to följande kod till din wp-config.php-fil precis innan raden som säger, ”That’s all, stop editing! Trevlig bloggning.”:
define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);
// in some setups HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO might contain
// a comma-separated list e.g. http,https
// so check for https existence
if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'], 'https') !== false)
$_SERVER['HTTPS']='on';
4. Fixa WordPress HTTP till HTTPS Redirect
WordPress kommer ej automatiskt att redirecta HTTP requests till HTTPS om du inte säger till den att göra det. Om du använder ett plugin som Really Simple SSL, kommer det att ta hand om redirects. Annars måste du manuellt konfigurera redirects.
För att ställa in HTTP till HTTPS redirect måste du add to följande kod till din .htaccess-fil:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

The biggest problems I’ve always had to deal with were mixed content issues on the website. The Really Simple SSL plugin is really great for this problem, especially for beginners starting with WordPress. For others, it’s better to use Phpmyadmin and fix the data directly in the database. Otherwise, what do you think is better, redirecting WordPress to https through the administration or through the .htaccess file? In my opinion, using .htaccess will be better in terms of speed.

There is no specifically better option, it would depend on which a user is most comfortable with

I thought the issue of SSL certificate not set up correctly is mostly from the hosting site one is using as most hosting offer free SSL with the hosting services.

If you don’t want to wait for the SSL certificate to be active, you would go into your phpMyAdmin and edit your Options table to revert the site url and home url. https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/beginners-guide-to-wordpress-database-management-with-phpmyadmin/

Having problems opening my site on firefox and safari. I’ve installed SSL on one of my domains and the had it verified from the godaddy support team. They said that the ssl is installed fine. But my site doesn’t show the padlock on firefox and safari and sometimes it doesn’t even open.

Your browser may have cached the pre SSL address which could be the cause of your issue.

I did all this. Set up my SSL certificate, installed and activated Really Simple, fixed the mixed content errors (or tried to) with Better Search & Replace and SSL Insecure Content Fixer. However, most of my images are still broken or not loading. They don’t even appear in my media library. The console points to the same file causing the problem—but it’s a file that flat-out does not exist. I cannot find this file anywhere, yet somehow it’s the source of all my images being broken.

Hi guys, first of all, thanks for your great job sharing your knowledge with noobs like me
I’ve just done all the SSL certificate stuff for the first time and got something that seems weird.On the browser that I’ve created the WordPress site and done everything, the website displays just fine . The connection appears to be fully secure and green. But when opening on any other browser or machine, it displays like rubbish. Also, here I get a ”Your connection to this site is not fully secure”. When using the Inspect tool, I get 6 of those mixed content errors.
Can you cast some light upon my ignorance, please? Thanks a lot!

You may want to ensure you clear all caching for your site and it can take some time for the SSL to fully update

So.. According to #2 I changed the http to https:, so since than error 404 appears when I try to visit the site with http, if I try with https, than it tells me that this is not a secure site, and it gets blocked.

Are there ways to fix issues like these if you cannot access the WordPress dashboard? Very often, if there is an SSL issue, the web browser will not even let you access the login page. I would assume you should be able to manually replace links in the database without using a plugin.

I have a web site that I installed Real Simple SSL and Better Search and Replace plugins. I activated both, and ran the Better Search and Replace tool. My problem is when I go to login I get the message (The page isn’t redirecting properly An error occurred during a connection)
This is in the most recent version of Firefox and I cleared cookies and cache.
I also tried this in Safari and it said that ”Too many redirects occurred This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirecterd to open the original page.
What should I change or search for to get the wp-admin login page to work properly?
