The website and WP Admin login page is working fine, and HTTPS is forced for visitors. So what every setup you have right now is working, you don’t need to the change anything else.

Even I had uninstalled and reinstalled the website to check whether that would solve the issue. But no use. Is it an issue when using Softaculous installer, because I have never had this problem in any other hosting. Is there any alternative method to install wordpress in Infinity free?

> 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…

Ok. I had made the changes to cloudflare account as mentioned. Set to flexible, always rewrite OFF & always https OFF. Now when I try to configure SSL certificate, should I provide Certificate & Private Key in Infinityfree or Cloudflare?

If you use CloudFlare flexible mode, there is no need to install SSL cert.  
You only need to provide Certificate & Private Key in Infinityfree when using CloudFlare full mode.  
Please read instructions carefully…
