I recently had to start moving my various WordPress sites from the standard App Service to a standard app service on Linux, using NGINX. However, this does not work out of the box. After much googling and experimentation I came across this extremely well written blog post on the topic.
Basically just follow those instructions the letter and all your problems will be solved!
I like to do a little value add on these blog posts, but really the first has everything you need – this post is just to give credit and to find the solution again later.
Update March 23rd, 2023
You do have to add the following to the wpconfig file for it to work – that is the missing link – for some reason when the sites “transition” there is something off about their behavior to ssl – this fixes it
define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true);if (strpos($_SERVER[‘HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO’], ‘https’) !== false) $_SERVER[‘HTTPS’]=’on’;
