 * Hello,
 * Is there a trick to get the WordPress HTTPS plugin to work on the login page 
   correctly? Here’s my dilemma:
 * Using shared SSL
    plugin version 2.0 Wordpress 3.2.1 Typical URL – mydomain.net/
   testwp FORCE_SSL_ADMIN wordpress variable off FORCE_SSL_LOGIN wordpress variable
   off
 * Plugin Settings:
    SSL host set to abc.xyz.com/~username/testwp Force SSL exclusive–
   Y Force SSL admin – Y
 * The problem… in wp-login is this line:
    <form name=”loginform” id=”loginform”
   action=”<?php echo site_url(‘wp-login.php’, ‘login_post’) ?>” method=”post”>
 * If I hit the wp-login using [https://abc.xyz.com/~username/testwp/wp-login.php](https://abc.xyz.com/~username/testwp/wp-login.php),
   every link in the page source is correctly evaluated to the SSL host URL given
   EXCEPT the form action url which uses a site_url call. This gets evaluated as
   [https://mydomain.net/testwp/wp-login.php](https://mydomain.net/testwp/wp-login.php).
   So upon a form submission, this page will fail because there is no shared SSL
   available on mydomain.net.
 * Is this a bug in the plugin? Or is this expected? And if this is expected, how
   are you able to get logged in using shared SSL? Am I missing something simple?
 * Based on other posts, I also tried the 1.9.2 plugin and that caused infinite 
   looping of the wp-login.php page.
 * Thanks!
    -Jason.

 * I just pushed out version 2.0.1. Let me know if it fixes your issue.
 * Thanks,
