HTTPS causing registration navigation problems

Hi There,
My registration process was working correctly until I added SSL to the process. I installed an SSL cert (have done this before on multiple sites and this seems to be working fine). I also installed the WordPress HTTPS Plugin and set the SSL selectively on the Event Registration, Thank You, and Transactions pages. Now however the registration process is flawed and can not complete. It starts on the correct page collecting registration data, but when I click “submit”, instead of moving to the confirmation page it goes to a page showing all my events. I then have to click the “register” button for my event and then I am back at the registration page I filled out previously. So I can never get to the confirmation or payment pages.

I checked the .htaccess file and there is nothing in there associated with https redirects so that shouldn’t be a problem.

I would appreciate help with this. The event URL is https://alchemyradianthealth.com/event-registration/?ee=1

Thanks,

Josse

Update: If I uncheck “Force SSL Exclusively” in the HTTPS plugin settings it seems to work ok. But I only want SSL on specific pages, not across the whole site. I rechecked that I the HTTPS activated on the Event Registration, Thank You, and Transactions pages. I also tried enabling it to secure child posts on each of those pages, but this didn’t work.

One last thing – have checked for plugin conflicts and can’t find any. Progressively turned all other plugins off but no change

Hi Josse,

This looks like the conflict between WooCommerce and WP HTTPS. WooCommerce advises to turn off their Force SSL setting, and then manually secure their Checkout, Checkout->Pay, and My Account pages with the https plugin.

Hi Josh,

I did not have force SSL checked in woocommerce settings and I had already tried completely disabling the woocommerce plugin as well without any effect. But I did go through the process of securing the woo checkout, checkout->pay, and myaccount pages via the HTTPS plugin. Still have same problem however.

Thanks,

Josse

Let’s try something else then. Can you please create a new page and name something like “Workshop Registration”, then place the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode on it. Then after you do that, please go into Event Espresso>General Settings and change the main registration page setting to point to this new page.

Looks like the problem is the form action is to the http instead of the https version of the event_page. Can you confirm that your templates/registration_page_display.php has this for line 91:

<form method="post" action="<?php echo get_permalink( $event_page_id );?>" id="registration_form">

That call to get_permalink should return the https if the current page is_ssl. Can you try Better WP Security instead of WordPress HTTPS plugin?

Hi Josh – did that but same problem with the new page.

Sidney – Thanks. Yes I can confirm that we have that code although it was not line 91. OK will try Better WP Security – had wanted to avoid because I just want the https support but will try anyway.

Thanks,

Josse

I’m feeling a little reluctant to use Better WP Security because it has to be a network wide install. Any other suggestions before I do this?

Thanks,

Josse

OK – I switched to the Better WP Security plugin and it works fine now. Thanks
