Too many redirects when using SSL

[eddiest2]

Set up SSL with Cloudflare. My site works fine with HTTP, but now I have it set up to https using .htaccess, I get 'too many redirects' error. I am using flexible SSL settings on Cloudflare.

Does anyone know of a fix? (it's the same when I set the WordPress site and home URLs to https)

I would be grateful for any help,
Eddie

My site URL is https://www.eddiestech.co.uk if that helps

x10hosting no longer provides SSL for free accounts.
you need to remove references to https and just use http
i think its been posted already how to fix cloudflare for this.
i just forget which posts they were.
something about setting cloudflare to lower settings,

also if you use wordpress it has to changed for http not https

I understand that x10hosting does not support SSL for free accounts, that's why I am using Cloudflare. As I said, I have changed the Cloudflare SSL settings to flexible instead of full.

When you use cloudflare, do NOT set any http->https rewrites in .htaccess, it is even on their own support that it can cause troubles. Especially when using flexible SSL.
