SSL login, admin cause TEC Ajax failure

[Mike]

Adding the following to config.php causes TEC Ajax to load as https, which apparently keeps it from working correctly.

define(‘FORCE_SSL_LOGIN’, true);
define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true);

One symptom is the mini calendar widget arrows no longer function.

[Mike]

I should have said “wp-config.php” … my apologies.
The problem seems to be in he CDATA where “ajaxurl”:”https: …

/* */

Hi Mike – are FORCE_SSL_LOGIN and FORCE_SSL_ADMIN still defined as true, and if so could you provide a link to your website so I can see the problem firsthand?

Thanks!

[Mike]

Yes. Here’s the URL: http://www.evansvillephilharmonic.org/wp/
You can see it on the home page.
It looks like the CDATA includes https, even if the page isn’t served as https.

Mike, thank you very much for reporting this to us – we will of course treat this as a bug (issue #17784) and though I can’t offer an absolute guarantee it’s looking like Daniel will fix this in time for the next release.

If there is anything else we can do for you please just let us know – and thanks again for highlighting this 🙂

Hey Mike, thanks for reporting this! I’m just wondering how do you configured your site in order to have ssl in the admin, but http in the front end. I’d like to test the fix in a real-scenario config. Maybe you prefer to talk this in private? If so, drop me a line to [email protected]

Thanks!

[Mike]

Daniel,
Set it using these wp-config options:
define(‘FORCE_SSL_LOGIN’, true);
define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true);

[Mike]

Of course, you need an SSL certificate, too.

[Daniel Dvorkin]

Hey Mike, sure. I was asking about the apache config for this virtual, but don’t worry, I’ll test a few different environments 🙂

[Mike]

It’s late on Friday, so I may have completely forgotten something important. 😉
All I did was set those wp-config parameters.
In general, the site is served via http save for a few pages where we accept credit-card donations. Since we had the SSL certificate already installed, I was able to set the wp-config parameters, and serve the admin and login via SSL.

Just to let you know: this is fixed in trunk and will be released with the next version of PRO.

Thanks for reporting!

[Mike]

Awesome! Thanks for your quick action.

Hey there Mike. Rob from Modern Tribe here; just wanted to confirm that we have a fix in the current code base that should accomplish this for you. Any interest in giving it a shot in advance of next week? If so, let me know and I’ll shoot it your way. Otherwise if you just wanted to let us know when you did the official update, if that worked…that’s fine too. Let me know.

[Mike]

Hey, Rob. That’s great news. I’d be happy to install it. (Any special instructions if there are problems and I need to revert back to the current version?)

[Mike]

Hey, Guys.

Wanted to let you know that 2.09 fixed this.

Thank you very much!
