I just installed the app on my website and am getting a 404 error. Im using a shared SSL and the Q and A said how to fix it but Im new to WordPress and dont know how..

I’m getting 404 errors on all of my pages. Why?
If you’re using a public/shared SSL, try disabling your custom permalink structure. Some public/shared SSL’s have issues with WordPress’ permalinks because of the way they are configured.

Where do I find my custom permalink structure and how do I disable it? And when I do is it going to change my site at all?

Supports Shared and Private SSL.
Helps reduce or completely fix partially encrypted / mixed content errors.
Force SSL on a per-page basis.
Force SSL in admin panel.

The secure URL for my site is: https://secure60.inmotionhosting.com/~lutche5/

The page I want to access can be accessed with this URL: https://secure60.inmotionhosting.com/~lutche5/make-payments-here/

Hey David,

It does if you set it up correctly. How is the plugin supposed to know what your Shared SSL Host is if you don’t tell it? Set your SSL Host to “secure60.inmotionhosting.com/~lutche5”.

Considering https://secure60.inmotionhosting.com/~lutche5/ produces a “Page Not Found” error, I don’t think you will be able to use that Shared SSL Host. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks,
Mike

So here is where Im at..

The reason why you saw that is because I didnt have the page set up yet, it was offline till I got all this figured out. But what I come to find out is my htaccess file isnt set up properly to configure a shared ssl set up. Well As Im growing Ill be moving off a shared sever soon anyway so the work I would need to do to set up the shared set up would be to much work where I just bought a SSL which will make things a lot easier. Ill let you know when I get it which will hopefully be soon.

I have no idea who oiweolsd is and am at little worried my info is being copied. I want to let you know what I ended up doing.

I thought it was over kill to get a SSL just for my one page to have a secure form for just a few of my clients to use. So I went over to emailmeform to simply buy a SSL form from them at https://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/iKcTO0v7Jf9dVar5ze06fqb and now have it like this.. http://www.lutchenpc.com/make-payments-here/

Just because I wont be using your great app, I will leave a very good testimonial and promote it to my clients and colleagues. Thank you so much for your dedicated help and can you please remove this thread so no one else is lifting or copying my information, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks again.

David

Not to hijack, since this seems to be a finished subject now, but I’m having the same problem. See http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-not-working-for-shared-ssl-on-bluehost?replies=3#post-2450483 for details.
