WordPress HTTPS is intended to be an all-in-one solution to using SSL on WordPress sites.

== Description ==
<ul>
 <li>Supports Shared and Private SSL.</li>
 <li>Helps reduce or completely fix partially encrypted / mixed content errors.</li>
 <li>Force SSL on a per-page basis.</li>
 <li>Force SSL in admin panel.</li>
</ul>

If you're having partially encrypted/mixed content errors or other problems, please read the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-https/faq/">FAQ</a>. If you're still having trouble, please <a href="http://wordpress.org/tags/wordpress-https#postform">start a support topic</a> and I will do my best to assist you.

== Installation ==
1. Upload the `wordpress-https` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= How do I make my whole website secure? =
To make your entire website secure, you simply need to change your home url and site url to use HTTPS instead of HTTP. Please read <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL" target="_blank">how to change the site url</a>.

= How do I make only certain pages secure? =
In the Publish box on the add/edit post screen, a checkbox for 'Force SSL' has been added to make this process easy. See Screenshots if you're having a hard time finding it.

= I changed my SSL Host and now I can't get into my admin panel! =
Go to your wp-config.php file and add this line. Hit any page on your site, and then remove it.
`define('WPHTTPS_RESET', true);`

= I'm getting 404 errors on all of my pages. Why? =
If you're using a public/shared SSL, try disabling your custom permalink structure. Some public/shared SSL's have issues with WordPress' permalinks because of the way they are configured.

= How do I fix partially encrypted/mixed content errors? =
To identify what is causing your page(s) to be insecure, please follow the instructions below.
<ol>
 <li>Download <a href="http://www.google.com/chrome" target="_blank">Google Chrome</a>.</li>
 <li>Open the page you're having trouble with in Google Chrome.</li>
 <li>Open the Developer Tools. <a href="http://code.google.com/chrome/devtools/docs/overview.html#access" target="_blank">How to access the Developer Tools.</a></li>
 <li>Click on the Console tab.</li>
</ol>
For each item that is making your page partially encrypted, you should see an entry in the console similar to "The page at https://www.example.com/ displayed insecure content from http://www.example.com/." Note that the URL that is loading insecure content is HTTP and not HTTPS.

Most insecure content warnings can generally be resolved by changing absolute references to elements, or removing the insecure elements from the page completely. Although WordPress HTTPS does its best to fix all insecure content, there are a few cases that are impossible to fix.
<ul>
 <li>Elements loaded via JavaScript that are hard-coded to HTTP. Usually this can be fixed by altering the JavaScript calling these elements.</li>
 <li>External elements that can not be delivered over HTTPS. These elements will have to be removed from the page, or hosted locally so that they can be loaded over HTTPS.</li>
 <li>YouTube videos - YouTube does not allow videos to be streamed over HTTPS. YouTube videos will have to be removed from secure pages.</li>
 <li>Google Maps - Loading Google maps over HTTPS requires a Google Maps API Premiere account. (<a href="http://code.google.com/apis/maps/faq.html#ssl" target="_blank">source</a>)</li>
</ul>

= Is there a hook or filter to force pages to be secure? =

Yes! Here is an example of how to use the 'force_ssl' hook to force a page to be secure.
`function custom_force_ssl( $force_ssl, $post_id ) {
	if ( $post_id == 5 ) {
		return true
	}
	return $force_ssl;
}

add_filter('force_ssl' , 'custom_force_ssl', 10, 2);`

== Screenshots ==
1. WordPress HTTPS Settings screen
2. Force SSL checkbox added to add/edit posts screen

== Changelog ==
= 2.0.4 =
* Bug Fix - Users using Shared SSL should no longer have broken URL's and redirects.
* Bug Fix - Pages should correctly be identified as HTTPS if PHP returns an IP address for HTTP_HOST in $_SERVER.
* Bug Fix - Users using the default permalink structure should now have URL's being properly changed to/from HTTPS.
= 2.0.3 =
* Force SSL Admin will always be enabled when FORCE_SSL_ADMIN is true in wp-config.php.
* Bug Fix - Users using Shared SSL should no longer have issues with the SSL Host path duplicating in URL's.
* Bug Fix - The plugin should now function properly when using a subdomain as the SSL Host.
* Bug Fix - Page and post links will only be forced to HTTPS when using a different SSL Host that is not a subdomain of your Home URL.
* Bug Fix - WordPress HTTPS should no longer generate erroneous notices and warnings in apache error logs. (If I missed any, let me know)
= 2.0.2 =
* Bug Fix - SSL Host option was not being saved correctly upon subsequent saves. This was causing redirect loops for most users.
= 2.0.1 =
* Ensured that deprected options are removed from a WordPress installation when activating the plugin.
* Added a button to the WordPress HTTPS settings page to reset all plugin settings and cache.
* Bug Fix - URL's entered for SSL Host were not validing correctly.
* Bug Fix - External URL's were not always being identified as valid external elements.
* Bug Fix - Slight enhancement to SSL detection.
= 2.0 =
* Full support for using a custom SSL port has been added. A special thanks to <a href="http://chrisdoingweb.com/">Chris "doingweb" Antes</a> for his feedback and testing of this feature.
* Forcing pages to/from HTTPS is now pluggable using the 'force_ssl' filter.
* When using Force Shared SSL Admin, links to the admin panel will always be rewritten with the Shared SSL Host.
* When using Shared SSL, all links to post and pages from within the admin panel will use the Shared SSL Host to retain administration functionality on those pages.
* Redirects to the admin panel now hook into wp_redirect rather than using the auth_redirect pluggable function.
* Canonical redirects will now still occur on sites usinga different SSL Host, but not on secure pages.
* Cookies are now set with hooks rather than pluggable functions.
* Plugin will now delete all options and custom metadata when uninstalled.
* Added a HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO check to the is_ssl function.
* Internal HTTPS Elements option has been removed. Disabling this option was never a good idea, so it was removed and the plugin will always act as it did when this option was enabled.
* External HTTPS Elements option has been removed. The handling of external elements has improved in such a way that this option is no longer required.
* Disable Automatic HTTPS option has been removed. This option should have generally been enabled anyway.
* Bug Fix - After logging in, the logged_in cookie was not being set properly. This caused the admin bar to not show up in both HTTP and HTTPS.
* Bug Fix - When using Shared SSL, the login page would not honor the redirect_to variable after a successful login.
= 1.9.2 =

* Bug Fix - When using Shared SSL, permalink structure was being buggy.
* Bug Fix - Certain server configurations were causing the plugin to create redirect loops when using the Force SSL Exclusively option.
= 1.9.1 =
* Bug Fix - Cookies were not being set to the correct paths when logging in, causing logins to fail.
* Bug Fix - Links to the front page when using latest posts were not correctly being set to HTTP/HTTPS.
* Bug Fix - When using Shared SSL, the HTTPS version of the site_url was not being correctly replaced with the Shared SSL URL for internal elements.
* Bug Fix - When using Shared SSL, the admin login page was not always redirecting properly due to output buffering.
* Bug Fix - When using Shared SSL, the auth_redirect function was not redirecting to the Shared SSL URL.
* Bug Fix - If the home_url contained 'www' but the URL appeared without 'www', the URL would not be fixed.
* Standards - Updated redirect method to use https or http as a an argument rather than true or false to better comply with WordPress coding standards.

* When using Shared SSL, any anchor that links to the regular HTTPS version of the domain will be changed to use the Shared SSL Host.
* Added embed and param tags to the list of tags that are fixed by WordPress HTTPS. This is to fix flash movies.
