Tabs in Add New Element page not working with GP Premium under HTTPS only?

[Mike]

Hello,

I’m new to GP Premium and am trying to add a new header element. If I try to click a tab such as ‘Display Rules’ nothing happens. After some troubleshooting, I discovered that this only happens if I’m in wp-admin via HTTPS/SSL. If I go to wp-admin via HTTP without SSL it works fine. HTTP will be redirected to HTTPS when the site is finished, so this isn’t really a feasible workaround for me.

I tried this on an existing WP deployment as well as a fresh install – happens in both cases. I deactivated all plugins aside from GP Premium and tried different browsers etc. I also tried after having both a proper SSL cert and self-signed cert setup, no difference. I’m using the latest version of GP Premium and the theme.

From the firefox developer console, I see following error appear as soon as I click to add a new element and the drop down is displayed to select the element type. No errors appear from HTTP.

TypeError: $(…).select2 is not a function metabox.js:66:25
<anonymous> https://<siteurl>/wp-content/plugins/gp-premium/elements/assets/admin/metabox.js?ver=1.10.0:66
jQuery 4

I’ll sometimes see this one as well afterward:

TypeError: d is undefined wp-auth-check.min.js:2:1535
<anonymous> https://<sireurl>/wp-includes/js/wp-auth-check.min.js?ver=5.4.2:2

Any ideas?

Hi there,

It sounds like something is messed up with your http requests.

The fact that you can switch between http and https is likely the issue.

I would force https in your admin (and your front-end) and redirect all http requests to https. That should prevent any sort of http/resource issues.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your reply. Looks like it was indeed something wrong with my HTTPS implementation. Previously it wasn’t working on both a freshly deployed site (where you could switch between HTTP/HTTPS) as well as another that was configured for HTTPS only.

I deployed a new VPS and re-did the SSL configuration from scratch. Now it seems to be working fine. I’m not sure what I did differently but, but hey, at least it works now 🙂

Thanks again,
Mike

Awesome, glad it’s all working now. Thanks for letting us know 🙂
