By the way, about my last comment. That’s if all the Force SSL options are off. If I switch any of them on, I get 404s when I try to go to the page.

Not to hijack, since this seems to be a finished subject now, but I’m having the same problem. See https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-not-working-for-shared-ssl-on-bluehost?replies=3#post-2450483 for details.

Yes, I’m using the Shared SSL.

Sorry, the point in my list above where I mention the secured host is starting to refer to entering items on the WordPress-SSL settings panel.

I.e., I put “secure.bluehost.com/~example” into the “SSL Host” field on the WordPress-SSL settings panel.

bh_WP_fan, do you mean I have to change the Site URL to “secure.bluehost.com/~example/testsite” ? I believe I saw something about that setting somewhere, but… that would use SSL for the whole site, right? I just want to secure a few pages, particularly the login although all of admin is ok.

It looks like this plugin is supposed to allow one to secure all pages or just pages you force to use SSL (the exclusive checkbox), and separately secure (or not) the admin area. I don’t want visitors to use SSL. (I wish BH let us get certs for addon domains for a store, though).

Incidentally, as per another thread, I tried setting permalinks to default. It didn’t make any difference.

WP really should be renamed that option, because “Default” was not the default!

I looked at the other post, but he just says it started to work with v1.92 – which I can’t seem to find anywhere.
When I got to https://secure.bluehost.com/~example/testsite the pages are displayed that same as if it was http – nothing has been secured anyway. If I try to log in, I get a red address bar and nothing happens, ie login doesn’t work – there’s no error message or anything, the form just clears.
