# SSL message persisting

 * I’ve successfully installed SSL on my site with the plugin but the message to“
   activate” SSL won’t go away.
 * When I try to press the button “Go ahead, activate SSL!” it gives a 500 error(
   just on that page).
 * I’ve used the latest copy of the plugin from Github and it still doesn’t work.
   I’m not on multisite as well.
 * Any help would be appreciated!

 * Coincidentally, I recently encountered a similar issue on the website of a user.
   I haven’t been able to investigate it, and I can’t reproduce it, but I know on
   which line that particular issue occurred.
 * If this has the same cause, the problem occurs when the plugin tries to do a 
   one time flush of the rewrite rules.
 * Could you try changing in class-admin.php, in line 97,
    `add_action( 'admin-init','
   flush_rewrite_rules');` into `add_action( 'shutdown', 'flush_rewrite_rules');`
 * And let me know if that works for you? If not, you can comment it out/remove 
   it.
