 * I think this is probably a bug, but I’m not sure.
 * If you’ve got FORCE_SSL_ADMIN on and are editing a new post in the admin UI (
   via https), if you hit the Preview button, it creates a http link to the preview
   page. It seems like it should generate an https link.
 * Combined with making the logged_in cookie secure using this
 * add_filter(‘secure_logged_in_cookie’,’__return_true’);
 * means you can’t preview posts. I hacked around it with this:
 * add_filter( ‘preview_post_link’, ‘my_preview_post_link_https’, 10, 2 );
    function
   my_preview_post_link_https( $link, $post ) { if($_SERVER[‘HTTPS’] == ‘on’) { 
   return preg_replace(“/^http:/”,”https:”,$link); } else { return $link; } }
 * but it seems like this shouldn’t be necessary. I guess all this ssl admin stuff
   is relatively new, but it seems like this is a bug to me.
