 * I went to a page using SSL and the browser gave me the toxic sign because it 
   found this:
    link rel=”pingback” href=”[http://domain.com/xmlrpc.php&#8221](http://domain.com/xmlrpc.php&#8221);
 * All options in the backend are disabled, except the one to enable the plugin.

 * I can easily change this, but I wasn’t aware it would cause issues. What browser
   are you using?

 * Hmm, well, I suppose changing the pingback can’t hurt. I’ll get it into the new
   version today.

 * Most people will know which URL to use and if bots go to the unsecure page, then
   the normal link should show.
 * You’re basically fixing lots of WP flaws 😀

 * Yeah, that was kind of the purpose of this plugin. The other 4 or so plugins 
   that attempt the same thing simply don’t work completely, and it seemed like 
   a simple enough task. The response from the WordPress community has been very
   warm and fuzzy.
