• Terminate SSL onto the CLB

• Change the main site URL to use HTTPS in the Wordpress configuration

• Add "SetEnvIf x-forwarded-proto https HTTPS=on" in the vhost configuration

• add these in wp-config: [OPTIONAL]

  php

  define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', false);
  define('FORCE_SSL_LOGIN', false);
  if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'], 'https') !== false)
  $_SERVER['HTTPS']='on';

• a good test to make sure PHP is receiving HTTPS are these lines in a test.php file. If should return "on" if PHP is getting HTTPS properly, or if it returns no value, PHP is not aware it's being called over HTTPS.

  php

<?php printf($_SERVER['HTTPS']) ?>
