 * Hi
 * I’ve just installed Really Simple SSL. Everything works great, got my green padlock
   🙂
 * I have iThemes Security installed, and there is section in the settings about
   SSL. Could you please advise me how to set this correctly?
 * See screenshot here: [http://prntscr.com/9qhcg8](http://prntscr.com/9qhcg8)
 * Front End SSL Mode: The options are: 1) Off, 2) per content, 3) Whole Site
 * Thank you.

 * As your site is allready on SSL, you don’t need these settings, so you can leave
   these as they are.

 * I am getting endless redirect loops right now. Cannot access any of my pages.
   Only the homepage is accessible.
 * Do you have any ideas?

 * I could not access Really Simple SSL settings anymore, nor could I deactivate
   it inside plugin menu. I had to use the ‘rename’ force-deactivate.txt’ option.
 * That disabled the plugin and now everything works again.
 * I also saw that I got php errors about polylang during this time. You can see
   here:

 * If you have any idea/suggestions about the redirect loop or the other problems,
   I would appreciate it.
 * Thanks.

 * Those errors start within the polylang plugin, so I can’t help you with that.
   Maybe it was caused by the redirect loop.
 * As for the redirect loop: you said you had it working earlier on, what did you
   change?

 * I think so too, polylang is a problem right now.
 * When I installed your plugin, it detected ssl and auto corrected mixed content,
   so I thought everything was fine. Then the redirects started happening and I 
   could only load the homepage. Even inside wp admin pages I had problems. So I
   deactivated your profile, and then everything worked again.
 * I don’t think I made any changes to your plugin after activating it. Because 
   it seemed to work so well, so I didn’t change anything.
 * Now I see that I still have insecure content. It’s the language flags from polylang.
   I’m looking into how to solve that.

 * Try disabling the htaccess redirect:

 * hey thanks for your fast answers! I really appreciate it.
 * I think I am experiencing the ‘normal’ pains of a freshly installed ssl certificate
   😉
