@Mark Boddington we have a separate pool SSLWebAppWP now HTTP (443) ...but wordpress does not see that we are connecting from https from zeus ..... so that function you mention does not kick in and give the wordpress core files in https they are still http can you recommend? also i'm on version 6.0 does 7.4 handle ssl differently at all? thank you for the help

Hi ds123,

I'm not a wordpress user, but according to their documentation, wordpress has a is_ssl() function to determine if the site is secure or not. The function checks to see if HTTPS was used to connect to the web server OR if the connection is on port 443.

The simplest solution may be to simply bind you webserver to port 80 and 443. You don't need to enable SSL on the webserver, just have it listen for http on the https port. Then create a new pool in ZTM which connects on port 443, we'll talk HTTP to the webserver on this port, but wordpress will treat it as secure.

my mission is to get https running on a wordpress site so i can do a secure checkout for a shopping cart so to get ssl configured on traffic manager now we have a new group of servers under "SERVICES" called SSLWebAppWP HTTP (443) --- they are the same app servers as the other group called WebAppWP HTTP (80)

.....the issue i'm getting now is in wordpress the files are supposed to pull the core files from https://mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/somefile.js automatically and do not .....they all come from http:// still ..... i looked at a totally separate apache server i use that is not connected to zeus and has ssl enabled and verified that yes the wordpress files from that if you hit it with https:// all come through as https files ...so wordpress does automatically feed the files through ssl if you come in through https

how do i get this working with zeus traffic manager setup?

ps i accidentally asked this and posted it as an answer to my previous question so am posting as a new question here if a moderator can please remove that other one
