(2.0.4) Not going to update any further. To everyone having trouble: * It´s perhaps better to delete the old plugin completely and then make a new installation with ver 3.0 This CAN help however it´s untested. * [LGraen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lgraen/) * (@lgraen) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-https-update-broke-my-site/page/2/#post-2689737) * Hi, I was experiencing a similar problem on our page [http://www.unfairtobacco.org](http://www.unfairtobacco.org). After updating the plugin, the login page and all other HTTPS pages were not available anymore. I did not get any error messages, only the pages didn’t load. Deactivating the plugin via FTP and downgrading to 2.0.4 fixed the problem. It’s a pity because I thought the update may fix another problem that I got with the page: HTTPS protected pages are not available in English (our page is in German and English). The HTTPS plugin seems to have a conflict with qtranslate or the other way around.

Unfortunately, this update took down our entire network (WPMU) too, admin and frontend. Here’s part of the error log – it generated so many errors that it broke our php error reporting script so our server team is working on pulling them out manually (this is what they have sent me so far): * Occurred 38 times Warning: in_array()

Also, just wanted to add that the errors above were generated yesterday (4/17/ 2012) and the entire site was down. I just reinstalled the plugin a few mintues ago (assuming there were updates as mentioned above). The new est version allows the admin to continue working, but sends non https pages into an endless reloading loop (not sure what it going on) and it never loads. I unfortunately won’t have an error report for this until tomorrow. * [Robert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redrings/) * (@redrings) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-https-update-broke-my-site/page/2/#post-2689740) * In the meantime, how do you download the 2.0.4 version? * 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/page/2/#post-2689741) * Hey Robert, * Thanks for the feedback. I think there’s something wrong with the plugin loading its resources in older PHP versions. Do you know what version you’re running? You can find out at a command line with `php -v`. * You can find all other version of the plugin for download [here](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-https/download/). * Thanks, Mike * [Robert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redrings/) * (@redrings) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-https-update-broke-my-site/page/2/#post-2689762) * Hi Mike, * Thanks for looking into this. I don’t have access to the command line, but I was able to find out that it is 5.0.45 * I’m getting our staging server set back up so that we can test (been needing to do this) 3.0.1 * Thanks again! * 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/page/2/#post-2689763) * Hey Rob, * The minimum for WordPress 3.0 is 5.2.4. The plugin also has this minimum requirement. I don’t think you’re going to be able to get it to work properly. * Edit: I did want to note that in the next version, I’m removing the autoloader, so it may work for you, but no promises. * Thanks, Mike * [Robert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redrings/) * (@redrings) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-https-update-broke-my-site/page/2/#post-2689764) * Hi Mike! * My apologies, I gave you the MySQL version! * I’m trying to find out what our current version of PHP is from our IT server dept and will get back to you. * [Robert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redrings/) * (@redrings) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-https-update-broke-my-site/page/2/#post-2689766) * Okay, PHP is 5.2.17 so we should be good. * 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/page/2/#post-2689771) * Hey Robert, * I just pushed out version 3.0.2.
