AutoSSL did not renew The validation required 1 HTTP redirect

Hi cPanelers, I recently set up a new Wordpress site for a client on a new Hosting account. Everything was going well for about a month, up until we received this email: ------------------- AutoSSL did not renew the certificate for "". You must take action to keep this site secure. The validation required 1 HTTP redirect, but the AutoSSL provider "cPanel (powered by Comodo)" does not permit HTTP redirects. When the system accessed the "/.well-known/pki-validation/06947935ADBECF0D9.txt" URL, it redirected to the /0694794C90D98E916E659.txt" URL. We use Cloudflare, and I suspect that the AutoSSL isn"t playing very well with it. Cloudflare settings: Our Security Level: Medium SSL: Full Always use HTTPS: Off What's the best way to go about fixing this?

  Also- I do have an .htaccess file with the following content: # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[0-9]+\..+\.cpaneldcv$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/pki-validation/[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt(?:\ Comodo\ DCV)?$ RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[0-9]+\..+\.cpaneldcv$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/pki-validation/[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt(?:\ Comodo\ DCV)?$ RewriteRule . /index.php [L] # END WordPress Not sure if this is causing any issues- let me know what you all think.

  Hello, It's possible you have a redirect enabled directly through CloudFlare. You could try temporarily disabling CloudFlare to verify if it's the culprit. Thank you.

  I see. Any idea where in the Cloudflare interface I might be able to find the redirects that could be causing the issue? I do have some DNS entries in my Cloudflare account that are set to DNS and HTTP proxy (/imgur.com/xCx0Ynf). I'm guessing that I need to change those clouds from orange to gray to set them to DNS only?

  Also- I've verified that 'Always redirect to HTTPS' has been turned OFF. It has been off the whole time (I do the redirect via .htacess file)
