# [Plugin: WordPress HTTPS (SSL)] SSL login not working

 * I only need the login to be encrypted; not the entire admin area. I installed
   this plugin and entered my shared SSL URL ([https://secure.hostmonster.com/~xxxxx](https://secure.hostmonster.com/~xxxxx))
   in the plugin. I then added define(‘FORCE_SSL_LOGIN’, true); to wp-config. When
   I open test.domain.com/wp-login.php, the form action is still [http://test.domain.com/wp-login.php](http://test.domain.com/wp-login.php),
   not https. If I manually enter [https://test.domain.com/wp-login.php](https://test.domain.com/wp-login.php),
   the form action is still http.
 * If I remove define(‘FORCE_SSL_LOGIN’, true); from wp-config but leave the plugin
   enabled, the form action is [http://test.domain.com/wp-login.php](http://test.domain.com/wp-login.php).
   If I manually enter [https://test.domain.com/wp-login.php](https://test.domain.com/wp-login.php),
   the form action is still http.
 * For what it’s worth, If I disable the plugin and simply leave define(‘FORCE_SSL_LOGIN’,
   true);, the form action is https, but after submitting I get redirected to [https://test.domain.com/~xxxxx/test/wp-login.php](https://test.domain.com/~xxxxx/test/wp-login.php),
   which doesn’t go anywhere.

 * I just pushed out version 3.0 which may or may not fix the issues you were having.
   Please try updating and let me know if you need any help.
 * Sorry for the late response. I have not had time to support the plugin for a 
   while now. Since I just pushed out 3.0, I’ll be keeping an eye on the support
   forums to fix any bugs that arise.
 * Thanks,
    Mike
