The error err_too_many_redirects appears in the browser enter image description here but nothing comes out in the nginx error log and I just registered the site in cloudflare. All traffic is redirected to HTTPS

This error generally occurs in Wordpress Sites which is due to a re-direct header sent by PHP.

So This is due to following reason:

  1. You have enabled HTTPS redirect on your website either by ngin or php.
  2. Cloudflare tries to open your site http://example.com and proxy it with https
  3. When Cloudflare tries to open http://example.com, your site tells it to open https://example.com and cloudflare again tries to open http://example.com
  4. This forms a redirect loop and due to which site could not open.

The best way to solve this is :

  1. Disable HTTPS Redirect from your server side.
  2. Enable Flexible SSL from Cloudflare
  3. Enter a page rule on Cloudflare with input as http://*.example.com to Always use HTTPS
