This topic is not helpful. * Thread Starter [rabbitshavefangs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rabbitshavefangs/) * (@rabbitshavefangs) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-https-update-broke-my-site/#post-2689597) * Wow, thanks for the fast response. * The page does not load. Source code shows NOTHING. Everything is blank. * Sorry for the last post. I am just very frustrated as my paying subscribers are contacting me saying they cannot log in now. * Thread Starter [rabbitshavefangs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rabbitshavefangs/) * (@rabbitshavefangs) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-https-update-broke-my-site/#post-2689599) * Everything was working PERFECTLY prior to the update. I’m not sure what other info I can give. Questions for me? * Thread Starter [rabbitshavefangs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rabbitshavefangs/) * (@rabbitshavefangs) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-https-update-broke-my-site/#post-2689600) * Now my admin has locked me out. I can’t access my site at all, neither can my subscribers. Very sad. 🙁 * Plugin Author [mvied](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvied/) * (@mvied) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-https-update-broke-my-site/#post-2689603) * Well, I did just push the update out about an hour ago, so I’m trying to keep an eye on the forum (Although it’s late, I’m heading to bed). * I understand your frustration. Trust me, I’ve spend more time writing and testing this plugin than I care to think about. I would never recommend updating a point release on a production site. I try to work all the bugs out of this thing, but it’s pretty much impossible. * Do you have any way to view your Apache error logs? It sounds like there’s a PHP error or something. I’ll be back in here tomorrow after some much-needed sleep. * Thanks, Mike * Plugin Author [mvied](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvied/) * (@mvied) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-https-update-broke-my-site/#post-2689605) * Oh, add `define('WPHTTPS_RESET', true);` to your wp-config.php. That should wipe any settings. If that doesn’t do it, you’ll have to delete the wordpress-https folder. Let me know what it takes. I’ve certainly never had the plugin act that way in testing. * Thanks, Mike * Thread Starter [rabbitshavefangs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rabbitshavefangs/) * (@rabbitshavefangs) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-https-update-broke-my-site/#post-2689606) * I had no idea this was an untested update. No WAY would I have done this… I want to go to bed too. I work 3 jobs and have a new baby. I sleep 4 hours a night… tonight I’ll sleep 1 hour. I’ll disable this plugin and try to recover. thanks. * Plugin Author [mvied](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvied/) * (@mvied) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-https-update-broke-my-site/#post-2689608) * By no means is it untested. I spent about 20 hours on it this weekend, mostly testing. It’s a very complex beast and I’m only one guy, haha. Sorry for the trouble. * Oh, it’s also worth noting that it will work for 90% of people out of the box. It’s generally the odd server setups that cause issues. I don’t have test environments for every permutation of server configuration, so it’s pretty much impossible to catch all the bugs, especially in a re-write. * Thread Starter [rabbitshavefangs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rabbitshavefangs/) * (@rabbitshavefangs) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-https-update-broke-my-site/#post-2689609) * OK, thanks. I’ll try that now. I appreciate you working on this plug-in. Please accept my apology for being irritated. It’s late and I was about to go to bed when I hit UPDATE so I’m just a little perturbed now (site still down and 1.2 hours later… still working with tech support on site…) * Plugin Author [mvied](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvied/) * (@mvied) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-https-update-broke-my-site/#post-2689611) * Please try to gather as much information as possible. If anything, I don’t mind logging into the site (or a fresh WP install on the same server) and working on a fix there. Often, that’s the only way I can come up with a fix since, like I said, there are some many different server configurations that can cause all sorts of different bugs. * Plugin Author [mvied](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvied/) * (@mvied) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-https-update-broke-my-site/#post-2689613) * I’ve had a few other concerning bug reports, so I’m going to revert the stable version back to 2.0.4. Hopefully those who have experienced issues will help me work on bug fixes. 🙂 * Thread Starter [rabbitshavefangs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rabbitshavefangs/) * (@rabbitshavefangs) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-https-update-broke-my-site/#post-2689617) * Yeah, I just deleted the new version. Downloaded 2.0.4 and installed it. Everything is back to normal thank god. I’m going to sleep now… * Thread Starter [rabbitshavefangs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rabbitshavefangs/) * (@rabbitshavefangs) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-https-update-broke-my-site/#post-2689618) * Thanks for a great plugin. 2.0.4 works great. I would just stick with that. Why fix what isn’t broken? 😛 * [wpcdn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpcdn/) * (@wpcdn) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-https-update-broke-my-site/#post-2689652) * >> Why fix what isn’t broken? * There were issues with the previous version for some people. For example, on our servers there is an endless redirect loop that makes the previous version unusable. So I applaud Mike’s efforts. * Mark * Plugin Author [mvied](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvied/) * (@mvied) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-https-update-broke-my-site/#post-2689664) * Hey Mark, * Thanks for the backup! Haha. Yes, often times bugs are caused for users with configurations I could not test, and previous bugs are fixed for others. I’m hoping to finally get the plugin to that 100% satisfaction mark, but for that I need the feedback of my lovely user base to work out any bugs. 🙂 * I had to rollback to 2.0.4, but will hopefully be working out a couple of bugs in 3.0 and pushing it out tonight. I realized that rabbitshavefangs’ problem is most likely an incompatibility with PHP 5.2.4. * Thanks, Mike Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 36 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-https-update-broke-my-site/page/2/?output_format=md&replies=37) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-https-update-broke-my-site/page/3/?output_format=md&replies=37) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-https-update-broke-my-site/page/2/?output_format=md&replies=37) The topic ‘[Plugin: WordPress HTTPS (SSL)] HTTPS update broke my site’ 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/) * 36 replies * 8 participants * Last reply from: [sam_a](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sam_a/) * Last activity: [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-https-update-broke-my-site/page/3/#post-2689830) * Status: resolved
