For those will an SSL certificate, the Force SSL plugin forces an HTTPS connection for security purposes. This is useful for those who with to enforce a higher level of security regarding the delivery of Wordpress content to the browser.

This plugin works by redirecting any requests for pages via plain old http into requests for pages via https. This means that someone can’t just remove the “s” from “https” and get their content from outside of a secure SSL connection. It’s that simple.

Are there plans to release a version of this plugin that works with Wordpress 2.x? I'd be a very happy man if there were!

jowens, this plugin works just fine with 2.x as far as I know. I'm using it myself.

I would like to have only a couple of pages in my wordpress blog secure for contact forms but I don't know how. Do I have to modify the code?

You could add some conditional tags around the plugin, so the whole thing is surrounded by and IF checking for a particular page (or pages). You can see what I mean here on the Codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags

I tried but got an error.

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in ---(path) force-ssl.php on line 40. "

I added

if (is_page('22'))
{

before

function force_ssl() {

and

}

after

add_action('plugins_loaded', 'force_ssl');
2?>

Is something wrong? 22 is the ID of the page. I tried to use the title of the page as well but got the same error.

you want to wrap the if statement just around the force_ssl function. so, just move your closing } thingy up above the add_actions thing there.

I moved the } but now it doesn't secure any pages at all.. Also, when I get in admin (edit) mode, I get this error.

You must have some white-space issues going on. PHP will complain if you have blank lines anywhere, so you could try that.

I don't see any blank lines in the plugin..

Why don't you upload the file to your site with a phps extension, and I can have a look.

I sent you an email. Thanks.

Nice plugin! thanks!

I get how to install the plugin into WordPress. My question is how do you set up the SSL cert so that the plugin see it and handles the re-direct as it's supposed to? More instruction in this area would be helpful.

viperteq, you'll have to buy your own SSL certificate. I think there are tons of different ways to do it - and I don't know what the best way is. You could try here to begin with: https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/ssl/ssl.asp

Once you have your SSL certificate, then your https:// connection will work without any other configurations.

I have the same need as sac, wanting to secure only select pages. Would you mind posting the solution for this, if there was one?

Cheers,

I think this will work, but it's not tested at all. If you get some errors, please reply to this topic and we'll figure out how to fix it.

You'll need to manually set the page ids you want to force ssl on in the plugin:

Hi Trevor,
I tried the code from http://pastie.caboo.se/64324 as I also would like to force SSL for only a couple form pages, it did not work. Your original plugin code does work with WP2.5.1 but when I added the modified code version it didn't work.

Was there ever any follow-up on this discussion from 2007? Was new code ever created that worked?

Not that I know of, sorry. You might have better luck on the WordPress forums here:
