Cornerstone not loading after tried Really Simple SSL

Support
#1

We have a multisite and I tried using Really Simple SSL plugin to move the sites to https. I ran the plugin (per site) on the main site and one of the subdomains. Following that Cornerstone wouldn’t load, and when I checked the forums there were posts that said to unistall it. I did that, but the two sites are still not loading Cornerstone. The other sites where I did not run the plugin load Cornerstone just fine.

Any thoughts on what I can do to revert the two sites to before the plugin was run so that Cornerstone will load? Tx.

Oh, I forgot to include what versions are running:

  • X is 6.2.0
  • Cornerstone is 3.2.2

Hi,

You can try installing this third party plugin.

Then run a search and replace with your url

search for: http://yoursite.com
replace with: https://yoursite.com

Make sure to change your wordpress and site url to https as well.

Hope that helps

Thanks for the help. I ran the Better Search Replace on our main site (we run a multisite) and Cornerstone is back to working. But there is no way to edit the wordpress and site url. It is grayed out:

I thought maybe it would change because the url in the tables has changed. Would it needs some time to propogate? Does the change need to be made in a another place?

Also entering our url without specifying https, does not force it to the secure version. My only thought is that this is connected to the wordpress and site url values that are still listed as http.

Appreciate your thoughts on this.

Hello There,

You are using multi site set up right? This is why you have a different settings and does not have the site URL and WordPress address url. Please click the Settings tab instead and see if you can edit the site url and the home url.

If you cannot edit it, you can change it by following these steps:

  1. Install the WP Migrate DB plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-migrate-db/)
  2. Go to My SItes > Netword Admin > Settings > Migrate DB in wp-admin
  3. Select Find & Replace
  4. Add the following settings:
    a. Find: your website’s current URL, starting with http://, without the trailing slash
    b. Replace: your new URL, starting with https://

  1. Click on Find & Replace button

Hope this helps.
