Title: [Plugin: WordPress HTTPS (SSL)] Checking "Force SSL Admin" button, reloads, button uncheck Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: WordPress HTTPS (SSL)] Checking "Force SSL Admin" button, reloads, button uncheck * [sethduncan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sethduncan/) * (@sethduncan) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-checking-force-ssl-admin-button-reloads-button-unchecked/) * WordPress 3.3, SSL 3.1.2 * When I check “Force SSL Administration” and save settings, the page reloads, I log back into admin, and the buttons are unchecked. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-https/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-https/) Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) * Plugin Author [mvied](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvied/) * (@mvied) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-checking-force-ssl-admin-button-reloads-button-unchecked/#post-2891882) * Do any other settings stick? Did you reset the plugin and leave the WPHTTPS_RESET constant defined as true? * Thread Starter [sethduncan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sethduncan/) * (@sethduncan) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-checking-force-ssl-admin-button-reloads-button-unchecked/#post-2891899) * None of the other settings stick at all. I did reactivate the plugin without adjusting the WPHTTPS_RESET code in wp_config.php at all. * Plugin Author [mvied](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvied/) * (@mvied) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-checking-force-ssl-admin-button-reloads-button-unchecked/#post-2891938) * So you added WPHTTPS_RESET to wp-config.php and you didn’t remove it? The settings are going to be reset every time you load a page if that global is true. * Thread Starter [sethduncan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sethduncan/) * (@sethduncan) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-checking-force-ssl-admin-button-reloads-button-unchecked/#post-2891988) * Ok, got ya. Fixed that. If I enable Force SSL Administration then I can’t log back into the site, unfortunately, until I go reset the WPHTTPS_RESET setting. It just keeps redirecting me to the login page. * Plugin Author [mvied](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvied/) * (@mvied) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-checking-force-ssl-admin-button-reloads-button-unchecked/#post-2891989) * Make sure you dump your cookies before re-trying, just to rule that out. * Thread Starter [sethduncan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sethduncan/) * (@sethduncan) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-checking-force-ssl-admin-button-reloads-button-unchecked/#post-2891990) * I’ll do you one better, did this all in Chrome Incognito mode just to make sure, closed and opened a new window after making the change, still won’t let me in. * Plugin Author [mvied](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvied/) * (@mvied) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-checking-force-ssl-admin-button-reloads-button-unchecked/#post-2892041) * Did the URL of the login page appear correct?

If that doesn’t work, I’ll take a look. * Thread Starter [sethduncan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sethduncan/) * (@sethduncan) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-checking-force-ssl-admin-button-reloads-button-unchecked/#post-2892121) * Ok, development version is installed. I’m using a page that has almost nothing on it and it’s still missing two links that are pointing to an http instead of an https. * One of the links, super-oddly, is the CSS and it’s coded as https but somehow something is changing it to http on the client side. * Thanks for your help. * Plugin Author [mvied](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvied/) * (@mvied) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-checking-force-ssl-admin-button-reloads-button-unchecked/#post-2892122) * You’re talking about something completely different now. What about your initial issue? * Also, the dev version is the same as the current version. I pushed it out today. * Thread Starter [sethduncan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sethduncan/) * (@sethduncan) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-checking-force-ssl-admin-button-reloads-button-unchecked/#post-2892123) * Ok the new version has the same problem. Confirmed. * Thread Starter [sethduncan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sethduncan/) * (@sethduncan) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-checking-force-ssl-admin-button-reloads-button-unchecked/#post-2892124) * I managed to get the “Force SSL Administration” to check and stay checked, but any changes now seem to not take. Really weird. * Thread Starter [sethduncan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sethduncan/) * (@sethduncan) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-checking-force-ssl-admin-button-reloads-button-unchecked/#post-2892139) * Is there any way I could get you to take a look at this?
