 * Hi spirish,
 * The plugin isn’t broken with https enabled. If you’re getting that error, it 
   means you have a configuration error in your main settings page.
 * On the main WordPress settings page (“General Settings”), both URL fields (“WordPress
   Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)”) need to have the same URL scheme (“[https://&#8221](https://&#8221);
   or “[http://&#8221](http://&#8221);) – they have to match.
 * That error message you are getting (and subsequent deactivation) from WP-SpamShield
   is happening because it is doing error checking, and found the problem in your
   settings: One URL is “[http://&#8221](http://&#8221); and one is “[https://&#8221](https://&#8221);,
   which will present problems for your site, and prevent certain things from working,
   including WP-SpamShield. If you fix that error in the settings (so both should
   start with “[https://&#8221](https://&#8221);)…everything will work again.
 * If you have any further issues or questions, please submit a support request 
   at the [WP-SpamShield Support Form](http://www.redsandmarketing.com/plugins/wp-spamshield/support/)(
   our main support venue), and we’ll be happy to help you out.

 * Hi Scott,
 * The issue is not with the general settings. I have define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, 
   true); in the wp-config.php file set. The plugin was working in the previous 
   version.
 * Thanks,

 * Hi Sean,
 * Ah, see that’s a whole different animal. That would have been helpful if you 
   had mentioned that in the first place. 🙂
 * I’ll be happy to look into that for you. However I will need you to contact us
   through the support form as mentioned, as this is not our main support venue.

 * Made a quick update. Try 1.9.7.1.1. You should have no problems now. 🙂

 * If I set the define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, false) in the wp-config.php file, then
   the plugin works just fine. But as soon as I go to the admin menu after changing
   the setting back, then it gets disabled.

 * You updated to 1.9.7.1.1 just now? That shouldn’t happen if you have things set
   properly in your settings. Since you’re still having the issue, as I mentioned,
   I’ll need you to contact us through our support page.

 * Problem still persists over here. Last working version 1.9.7
 * Error I’m getting slightly different but same intent:
 * “There is an error in your WordPress configuration. Website domains do not match.”
 * Multisite configuration using https and domain mapping.
 * Thanks
