Thanks jaycetech – it looks like what happened was that I screwed up the initial upload of the plug-in file to the folder in my file manager; I did it piece by piece and neglected a piece when I should have uploaded the whole folder all at once – my friend showed me the easiest way to do it with Filezilla and now the https settings do occur (although in it’s own field on sidebar as you mentioned, not under settings).
Thanks!
