My nginx site itself has no problem with https and all http traffic is forwarded to https. However when I try to go to wordpress (on apache) I get an error in my browser that I am forwarding plain http to https, and indeed the port I see in the browser is 443 not 8080. Again if I explicitly request http I'm good but it fails with https. Why is nginx forwarding this traffic to 443 instead of 8080? Or probably better how do I change this behavior?
