After migrating site to Cloudflare, site resolves to blank page. It is a wordpress site and I can get a static .html page to load (Pitman Design) so I suspect something in WP settings? Although it was working correctly before moving to CF.
What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?
paused site going through Cloudflare.
checked .htaccess for possible redirect problems.
Quite a lot of resources are missing, returning 404 error not found from the host while you’ve temporarly Paused Cloudflare. I’d double-check this with my web hosting and fix before un-pausing the Cloudflare.
The 404 errors come from the origin host/server unrelated to the Cloudflare:
Despite your Website is working fine over HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, may I ask what SSL settings have you got selected under the SSL/TLS tab of Cloudflare dashboard for your domain name?
Other than those errors from above, any other issue?
that enabled the page to load, but apparently without css, and probably other assets not being applied. So, not a blank page at the moment. I still cannot log into the WP admin dashboard, however.
Looking at the header of any of the WP pages, the URL of the assets are missing a directory.
For example, style.css is showing the URL https://pitmandesign.com/wp-content/themes/Basic-fluid/style.css
When it is actually https://pitmandesign.com/cms/wp-content/themes/Basic-fluid/style.css
Note the “cms” directory is different. I’m not a WP expert, but this looks like something wrong in WP settings. The only thing is that there is also a Prestashop installation on the domain that is also not working since migration to Cloudflare. So, I don’t know.
I tried different SSL settings, including, off. And only using “strict” partially works.
Note. Adding cms into the url loads the page (without css, etc.) but when entering credentials, it fails. I assume because the landing page is also missing the “cms”. I’m not sure how to work on this in WP when I can’t get in. But I’m researching now. https://pitmandesign.com/cms/wp-login.php
WP has a setting to tell the app which directory it lives in, “cms” in this case, as opposed to the site url so that it removes that directory in the url that the end user sees. Somehow, when the site migrated to CF, this communication within WP got corrupted. I’ve got it sorted out, but I’m not sure if it was a wordpress plugin, or something else that was causing the issue. I’ve migrated other WP sites with similar setup to CF without issue. So, I dunno.
