 * Hello. Using free version, installed by Network Solutions along with their SSL.
   Failed test: “WordPress URLs’ are NOT properly redirected from HTTP to HTTPS:
   <small>While testing the redirect the following error occurred: The requested
   URL returned error: 403 Forbidden</small>”. I don’t know which URL it is, I cannot
   find where the redirect fails, but WP Force SSL keeps telling me it’s failed 
   even though the Redirect HTTP requests to HTTPS option is turned on. Any assistance?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ffailed-redirect-http-requests-to-https%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
    I tested manually and everything seems in order. So 99.9% it’s a false positive.

 * Ok. Hopefully it resolves itself so the plugin stops showing that I have a notification
   and failure. Thank you for checking.
