   I've found this code on the FAQ page but there wasn't much information.

   function custom_force_ssl( $force_ssl, $post_id ) {
       if ( $post_id == 5 ) {
           return true
       }
       return $force_ssl;
   }
   add_filter('force_ssl' , 'custom_force_ssl', 10, 2);

   I'm not great at PHP but from what I can tell, that's just to secure one page.

   So instead I added

   force_ssl == true;

   to the header.php file in my theme folder but it still seems it isn't catching.

   What am I missing?

   Secure site: https://floridaga.net
   Insecure page: http://floridaga.net/members/occupyflorida/

   How the heck do I lock down the entire site??

   Hey GenoGod,

   So you put this?
   

   function custom_force_ssl( $force_ssl, $post_id ) {
       if ( $force_ssl == true ) {
           return true
       }
       return $force_ssl;
   }
   add_filter('force_ssl' , 'custom_force_ssl', 10, 2);

   If so, that won't do anything except return true when $force_ssl is already true.

   You would use this to make every page Force SSL:
   

   function custom_force_ssl( $force_ssl, $post_id ) {
       $force_ssl = true;
       return $force_ssl;
   }
   add_filter('force_ssl' , 'custom_force_ssl', 10, 2);

   You place that code block in the functions.php of your theme. If it doesn't exist, create it. Using this code is essentially the same as setting your whole site to HTTPS. You may want to consider doing that instead.

   Thanks,
   Mike
