"insecure warning" won't let me log into my admin related to SSL? or 1.5.5.d

Version 1.5.5d
https://www.saintstevensthingery.com

I think my recent SSL install broke my admin log-in, but I'm not completely sure because I also just did the 1.5.5c and 1.5.5d (and those seemed to test ok).

Now I get a warning about entering an insecure page at my admin log-in and it will not let me choose either continue or cancel without just returning to the blank log-in form.

Likewise it will not let me request a password reset.

Could anyone point me in the right direction for facing this new conundrum?

are you using firefox? i would try using chrome for the fun of it and see if that works...

in general you get this type of error if you are on a https: url and there are some resources that are loaded using http: and specifically the form that is transmitting the data.

for example, on the storefront of your shop, you make use of a jquery easing library. it is loaded on your site using:

<script src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-easing/1.3/jquery.easing.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

ideally, that should be changed to:

<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-easing/1.3/jquery.easing.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

that way the browser will load it securely when encountering it on a https link.

without knowing the actual admin login page, it is hard to tell exactly what the browser is complaining about...

good luck!

Look at your /your_admin_folder/includes/configure.php file, specifically at the HTTPS_SERVER setting. Is it defined to a value that starts with "https://" ?

You may need to post the file here. Just be sure not to post the part with the DB_XXXXX settings.

As far as I can tell, I have all my "s"'s in the right places but then again I'm no longer encountering the problem without making any changes so it must have been a browser thing (and yes it was Firefox-I actually haven't tried Chrome yet).

So I dunno, thanks very much, just switching over to a different machine running Firefox sort of jogged things into place UNLESS Cloudflare has some glitches, which they might, since I discovered I needed a plug-in for an endlessly looping WordPress thing.
