I can confirm that the responsive shortcode does not work if you have SSL enabled for your admin area.

The slides do not appear when I use the following shortcode and have this rule in the wp-config file:

SHORTCODE:
<?php echo do_shortcode( ‘[SlideDeck2 id=### ress=1]’ ); ?>

WP-CONFIG.PHP:
define( ‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true);

I can either remove the ress=1 option from the shortcode, or remove the FORCE_SSL_ADMIN rule, and SlideDeck works.

Having the following setting in wp-config does not affect the plugin:
define( ‘FORCE_SSL_LOGIN’, true);

I had the same problems as above. I did not upgrade the eStore theme – I only upgraded WP and the Simple PayPal Shopping Cart plugin. As soon as I updated to v 3.5 the Add To Cart button for the theme stopped working, and un-styled buttons appeared in other places. I replaced v3.5 with v3.3.1 and the problems went away. Everything works with the older plugin version.

I’m sure the .htaccess file will help somewhat. It’s difficult to say if anything truly prevents exploits 100%.

You are correct that it is risky to leave a directory with 777 permissions. This should only be done temporarily, as a last resort.

The problem that you’re experiencing is more of an issue with the server settings that with WordPress itself. I’m guessing that your two blogs are running on different servers or with different hosts. One server has the settings right and the other does not.

One option that I’ve found which allows you to have more secure (775) permissions on the upload directory is to make the web user (might be named apache or nobody) a member of the same group as your FTP user. Your web host should be able to make this change for you.

Another option would be to contact the server admin of the blog that is working and ask them what settings they have for user/group of your account and the web user account, then see if you can get your host to duplicate those settings on server #2.

There is a version based on HTML5 boilerplate that you could make responsive.
