 * Hello, your plugin works great, but after migration of my website to the another
   server which supports “let’s encrypt” HTTPS, i’ve decided to switch from HTTP
   on HTTPS whole website, with force redirects from HTTP ->> HTTPS on visit, while
   it previously was on HTTP. And looks like your module starting to disallow to
   enter admin area via HTTPS after it as after i renamed this Shields’s plugin 
   folder via FTP all started to work. It even somehow don’t send emails now for
   2 factor verification, if to visit it via HTTPS. I of course updated settings-
   >general web page links to HTTPS, but looks like that Shield doesn’t care about
   it probably?
 * What i could do? How to force Shield to update some settings or something that
   all started to work? Even after reinstalling it still probably uses old configuration
   and again disallow to enter wp-admin folder which previously was on HTTP and 
   now on HTTPS.

 * I honestly cannot see how Shield is affected your site’s HTTPS configuration,
   unless there’s something wrong with the configuration.
 * Are both your URLs in your General WordPress configuration HTTPS? Have you ensured
   that all links in your DB are HTTPS? Maybe try resetting permalinks, though I
   can’t see how that would help.
 * You could also try reset:

 * Beyond this you’ll need to upgrade to Pro for further in-depth support.
    thanks!
