   For the life of me I can't figure out how to get WordPress to work with HTTPS. I want to make a single page secure, but when I do that with the SSL Admin plugin my browser goes into a redirect error. Is it possible to make a static page secure in wordpress?

   I figured it out!! Finally!!
   I do believe it is a media temple thing, but at least I figured it out. In the wp-includes/cononial.php file you have to change 'HOST_NAME' to 'SERVER_NAME' on line 48.

   diced:this information is just odd.there is no line in canonical.php(I think this is what you mean by cononial)Host_name or Server_Name on line 48 in the referenced file.
   here is the block I believe you are talking about:
   

   if ( !$requested_url ) {
   		// build the URL in the address bar
   		$requested_url  = ( !empty($_SERVER['HTTPS'] ) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) == 'on' ) ? 'https://' : 'http://';
   		$requested_url .= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
   		$requested_url .= $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

   So where in this would I make your changes?

   I am successfully securing just one page on a website:
   https://www.chillyo.com/shop/check-out/
   with a private SSL certificate.
   I secured this page by pasting /shop/check-out/ in the Additional URLs box of Admin SSL plugin options page.
   You can get this plugin here:
   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/admin-ssl-secure-admin/

   This plugin is awesome please donate!

   I think this might have been your problem. Yes it's a mediatemple thing:
