Title: [Plugin: WordPress HTTPS (SSL)] Cannot Log into Wp-Admin Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: WordPress HTTPS (SSL)] Cannot Log into Wp-Admin * Resolved [robertbeth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robertbeth/) * (@robertbeth) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-cannot-log-into-wp-admin/) * Hi, * I installed this plug in and now I cannot log in to my wordpress CP. Whenever I try to load my wp-login page,I received a page time out message. * We have no way of getting into the admin CP at this point as we are continually redirected. Does anyone know how to fix this? * Thanks in advance * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-https/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-https/) Viewing 2 replies - 16 through 17 (of 17 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-cannot-log-into-wp-admin/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-cannot-log-into-wp-admin/?output_format=md) 2 * Plugin Author [mvied](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvied/) * (@mvied) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-cannot-log-into-wp-admin/page/2/#post-2380449) * Hey metakong, * It’s funny you mentioned those ports. I made changes last night to specifically ignore those ports because I tried the same thing, haha. I think that’ll fix a lot of peoples’ issues. I’ll try to get a release candidate for the next update out and we’ll see if it works. * Thanks, Mike * [J.Smith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jsmith-1/) * (@jsmith-1) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-cannot-log-into-wp-admin/page/2/#post-2380526) * Hello, * I just wasted quite a few hours of my life by trying to make wordpress-https work for shared SSL scenario. * As metakong’s mentioned, the key word is: the lack of documentation. * Removing the plugin from the file system doesn’t clean up WordPress installation: * ``` mysql> select * from wp_options where option_name like 'wordpress-https%'; +-----------+---------+----------------------------------------+--------------+----------+ | option_id | blog_id | option_name | option_value | autoload | +-----------+---------+----------------------------------------+--------------+----------+ | 599 | 0 | wordpress-https_exclusive_https | 0 | yes | | 594 | 0 | wordpress-https_external_urls | | yes | | 600 | 0 | wordpress-https_frontpage | 0 | yes | | 601 | 0 | wordpress-https_ssl_admin | 0 | yes | | 596 | 0 | wordpress-https_ssl_host | | yes | | 598 | 0 | wordpress-https_ssl_host_subdomain | 1 | yes | | 597 | 0 | wordpress-https_ssl_port | 443 | yes | | 595 | 0 | wordpress-https_unsecure_external_urls | | yes | | 602 | 0 | wordpress-https_version | 2.0.4 | yes | +-----------+---------+----------------------------------------+--------------+----------+ 9 rows in set (0.00 sec) ``` * vs. * ``` $ grep delete_option plugins/wordpress-https/uninstall.php delete_option('wordpress-https_external_urls'); delete_option('wordpress-https_unsecure_external_urls'); delete_option('wordpress-https_ssl_host'); delete_option('wordpress-https_ssl_port'); delete_option('wordpress-https_exclusive_https'); delete_option('wordpress-https_frontpage'); delete_option('wordpress-https_ssl_admin'); delete_option('wordpress-https_ssl_host_subdomain'); ``` * I wish [those simple instructions from the parallel thread](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-cant-log-in-to-wordpress-after-enabling-force-ssl-administration) could have been published as part of documentation: `DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE 'wordpress-https%';` Somehow WPHTTPS_RESET leaves the garbage as per above select query :o(. * I have a feeling that in order to make this particular plugin to work, quite a few unstated conditions have to be met. * I am mostly into a scenario, where WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address ( URL) point at the same insecure virtual host, while shared SSL access is provided via alternative URL. * Most likely, in these circumstances, WordPress has to be deployed with multisite option, and WordPress Address (URL) should point at the shared SSL access via alternative URL. * Would it be a correct assumption?! * Back to the lack of the documentation, how option wordpress-https_ssl_host relates to WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL)? * Oh, well, it could be a repeat of the previous question, sorry! * Cheers, John Smith Viewing 2 replies - 16 through 17 (of 17 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-cannot-log-into-wp-admin/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-cannot-log-into-wp-admin/?output_format=md) 2 The topic ‘[Plugin: WordPress HTTPS (SSL)] Cannot Log into Wp-Admin’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/wordpress-https_bec2c9.svg) * [WordPress HTTPS (SSL)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-https/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-https/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-https/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-https/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-https/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-https/reviews/) * 17 replies * 7 participants * Last reply from: [J.Smith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jsmith-1/) * Last activity: [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-cannot-log-into-wp-admin/page/2/#post-2380526) * Status: resolved
