We purchased an SSL certificat from network solutions (would never recommend them to my worst enemy, btw).
Apparently it’s activated… did a few checks that says it’s activated for our domain. But when I put in https://www.texasshredderclassic.com the entire site breaks. To be more specific, by “breaks,” I mean it completely disables the CSS, and my login User+Password no longer work (seems like this might be a clue?)
I’ve tried downloading WordPress HTTPS, but that kicks me out of the admin page and also mangles the CSS.
I don’t care if it works on the entire site, just need it working for our form page (texasshredderclassic.com/registration) – using gravity forms and connecting to authorize.net!
I’m tearing my hair out here because I don’t have a clue where to go next. Seems like we have the SSL cert… just can’t get the damn thing to work! Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
For the login part, this works for me …
Paste the following line in your wp-config.php
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'] == 'https') $_SERVER['HTTPS']='on';
but make sure that you do it before the following line
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
By doing so you can get your admin panel back …

Also to avoid getting Mixed content, after restoring your admin panel, remember to go to SETTINGS, General, change Server URL from http to https.
