  • it's not enough to redirect CSS/JS to https, browsers will not attempt to load HTTP assets on a HTTPS page for security reasons, even if they redirect to secure locations

Add this code in to wp-config.php just before - require_once ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php'; line

if ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'] == 'https') $_SERVER['HTTPS']='on';

    That's for reverse proxies though. It doesn't sound like that's the problem here to me.

What URL are you using in the WordPress general options (/wp-admin/options-general.php)? HTTP or HTTPS? You should make sure you put your HTTPS address there.

Also it might help to re-save your permalinks.

    @Norman Go to yourdomain.com/wp-admin/options-general.php (when logged in). There you'll see two text input's with your website URL. Can you validate if you see your website URL with HTTPS (instead of HTTP)? Alternatively, you can go to Settings → General (same thing).

You can try some Apache code in your .htaccess file to redirect any http to https. And make sure wordpress settings are pointing to https and not http.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}  "www.domain.com"
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Sorry about syntax highlighting. Not sure what the language code is for Apache directives on here.
