I already had the X-Forwarded-Proto header added to the request by the front end. It has never helped. When I added the config mentioned on that wordpress info page and switched haproxy back to the HTTP backend, it initially looked good (links were all https), but then I found that I couldn't access the admin pages. It would let me log in successfully, and the blog itself still worked, but then it told me I didn't have permission to access the admin page. As soon as I removed the extra config and switched haproxy back to using SSL for the back end, everything was working again. At that point I upgraded wordpress and all plugins/themes. I will try the WP config changes again later to see if the upgrade helped. Here's the post on Wordpress Support that I made six months ago, with no response: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/switch-ssl-to-haproxy-instead-of-apache I have now commented on that post with this updated info. Thanks, Shawn
