I’ve got an issue with blog.webfriendly.com which I have been setting up. The main domain points to clickfunnels, while the blog subdomain points to a hosting server via an A record. When I enable the orange cloud, the site goes into a 301 redirect loop and I haven’t been able to find the answer as to why yet…
Also, (maybe this is related) the home page URL defaults to http instead of https, even though every other page on the the blog does https. I’ve checked WP general settings (tried both http and https setting) and installed the Cloudflare plugin (enabled “rewrite to https”), but no dice…
So lost, plz halp…
I saw that guide already, but no help for me there.
I figured it out partially. When I was originally trying to fix the issue with my home page not being https, I set up a rule on Cloudflare: blog.webfriendly.com/*
301 to https://blog.webfriendly.com/$1
I disabled that and now there is no redirect loop, but now nothing on the site goes to https! I’ve got the domain setting set to flexible SSL and turned on Automatic HTTPS Rewrites in the Cloudflare WP plugin…
Sorry to jump on but I have a sorta similar issue and can’t ask my own question…
I am a not-super-technical user who is stumped and could use some help here.
I recently set up jetpack premium for backups but couldn’t get it connected. Hosting co said “turn off Cloudflare temporarily” so I did. Only now when I turn Cloudflare back on I’m in the abyss of infinite loop. Dreamhost is perplexed and said “Go ask Cloudflare” - so here I am.
I have strict SSL and have force https rewrite rules in my .htaccess file and on Cloudflare. The infinite loop stops as soon as I shut down Cloudflare. It USED to work prior to enabling jetpack - not sure if that’s relevant?
But I’m stumped. Right now enabling Cloudflare breaks everything and if I can’t figure out WHY I’ll have to stop using it Help please?
Thanks @anon13899255! I am terrified of the .htaccess file but had found that on various pieces of docomentation (please know I don’t understand how to read .htaccess code). I have tired these two variants I have found:

You should take backup of that file; then you may proceed it step by step.
Via cPanel File Manager or SFTP
Go to /public_html/ directory
Before editing, it is always better idea to create a backup of .htaccess file so please, must do it right now; by creating a file with unique name e.g. ‘htaccess-backup-by-me’
Now, edit .htaccess
If you are using WordPress, you will see a file like this
You need to place Force HTTPS rule just before any previous rewrite rules.
I hope this helps in editing .htaccess right way. Feel free to ask if you have any query.
