Please use Full SSL Mode on Cloudflare. Then it should work.

Please note that Cloudflare and WordPress don’t play well together out of the box, because the built-in HTTPS detection in WordPress doesn’t work with Cloudflare’s Flexible SSL.
I recommend to setup Full SSL instead, which will secure the connection between Cloudflare and your site, and will help WordPress detect that HTTPS is in use:

> By default, Cloudflare uses a system called “Flexible SSL”. In this system, Cloudflare secures the connection between your visitors and Cloudflare, but not the connection between Cloudflare and your website. Not only is this less secure, some websites (notably WordPress) have trouble detecting whether HTTPS is in use, causing all sorts of issues. The best way to resolve this is by using Full SSL in Cloudflare. This way, the connection between Cloudflare and your website is encrypted, and your w…
Alternatively, you can configure WordPress to correctly detect flexible SSL:

This article explains a good way to configure your website correctly with Cloudflare Flexible SSL. Heads up! Instead of making WordPress work with Flexible SSL, you can also c…
