# [Plugin: Better WP Security] SSL Option section doesn't work

 * When I set “Enforce Login SSL” or “Enforce Admin SSL” in “SSL Option” section
   and press “Save Changes” button then lines
    define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true); 
   define(‘FORCE_SSL_LOGIN’, true); just deleted from wp-config.php. And then admin
   page does not use SSL. So I need to add those line in wp-config.php manually.
 * I tried to remove .htaccess. The issue still the same.

 * Those lines need to be in wp-config.php, not .htaccess. Turning the options on
   should place them in the file for you.

 * Yes, those lines need to be in wp-config.php, not .htaccess. But when I turn 
   on these options and press “Save Changes” button then these options deleted from
   wp-config.php if they were there.

 * Ah ha. Now I follow. Do you have any other plugins active that might be looking
   at wp-config?

 * I’m afraid I’m not familiar with pretty much any of those and therefore can only
   suggest you follow standard WordPress troubleshooting of shutting off all plugins
   and reactivating one at a time to confirm which is causing the issue.

 * I have some similar problem… when I enable SSL on admin and login pages, nothing
   happens – settings are saved, but I can still login through http (so forcing 
   SSL doesn’t work at all).

 * [@ninostar78](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ninostar78/) can you manually
   go to https?

 * Yes, I was able to go to https manually, but then I was redirected to http. I’ve
   uninstalled the plugin now. I think that I will do manually some security stuff,
   as I had too much troubles with this plugin… I wish it would work, but sadly 
   it didn’t on two different servers/websites.
