My site is jennsuzhoy.com. I have a Let’s Encrypt SSL Certificate with Dreamhost and have set my Cloudflare SSL/TLS to Full (strict), but am unable to access either the front or the backend of the site. On the front end, I am getting a Too Many Redirects error. On the back end, the login just refreshes when I type my username and password.
I’ve searched for an answer, but nothing seems to make a difference. Could this be DNS taking it’s sweet time, or is there something off about my setup? Appreciate the help!
I did try this at your suggestion, but I am still unable to connect to my site.
The interesting thing is, when I go to my host dashboard (Dreamhost), and try to click Clear Cache, I get the notice that Dreamhost can’t connect to Cloudflare. Is there a setup step that I could be missing?
It’s those last two in the loop. Wordpress thinks your site doesn’t have www in front. Something else, somewhere, is trying to put www in front. As I recall, DreamHost has a hosting option to use WWW, No-WWW, or Either. Make sure it’s not set to WWW (should just be set to No-WWW, to agree with WordPress).
Unfortunately, the WWW one goes through Cloudflare, and the non-www doesn’t. If you’re still stuck, contact DreamHost Support, as they’re the ones in control of your configuration.
Thanks! I’m on a chat line with them now. I’m using the free version of Cloudflare, which means I HAVE to use the Add WWW option. I think I now understand what might be going on though, and I should be able to update Wordpress to match. Thanks for taking a look!
