G’day Tony,

Did you change the HTTPS Detect settings? If you did, you can tell the plugin to ignore them by adding this near the top of your wp-config.php file:

define('SSLFIX_PLUGIN_NO_HTTPS_DETECT', true);

If that doesn’t work, best to delete the plugin via FTP, then check your web server error logs to see if it tells you what went wrong. Please report back here ??

cheers,
Ross

Howdy Ross, and thanks for you responding so quickly.

I don’t remember changing that setting, but I guess I may have?

After being denied access to wp-admin via https, i had FTPed into my site and had already deleted the plugin. The error frustratingly remained.

Also please excuse my ignorance, but where do I find those logs? Also to clarify your instruction, do I place that line within my wp-config file even though I have (previously) deleted that plugin folder via FTP?

Cheers a bunch!

Tony

G’day Tony,

If you’ve deleted the plugin, it isn’t affecting your problem. It sounds like it might be something in the web server config, for which you’ll need to speak to your web host.

If you can share a link to the website, I can look at it and see if I can see any problem. If you don’t want to share publicly, please post via my support form.

cheers,
Ross
