Hi !

I have a problem using the Force SSL and Secure Files plugins altogether.

In fact, when I try to upload a file through the Secure Files interface while Force SSL is activated, it has absolutely no effect (but I still can upload files through the regular WordPress interface).
However, when the Force SSL plugin is not activated, Secure Files works perfectly !

Is there any solution ?

Thanks in advance,
Alex.

P.S. : using WordPress 2.6 and the last versions of the 2 plugins

Make sure you're using the HTTPS version of your URL in your Wordpress options. I haven't tested the plugins on 2.6, but I've heard they work.

Thanx a lot ! It actually solved my problem (I was using the HTTP version of the URL in the options ...).

By the way, the plugins do work very well on the 2.6.

Bye,
Alex.

I have another and quite similar problem I can't solve ...
The classic WordPress uploading interface in flash won't work while Secure SSL is on ...

Is there any other solution than using the "browser based" uploading interface ?

Thx in advance once more !
Alex.

Sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean. The secure files plugin shouldn't interfere with anything normally done with Wordpress, though. Are you saying it breaks some kind of flash uploading interface?

I get this error message when I try to upload a file while writing a post.

(sorry for the language ... I hope you'll undestand some words)

However, when I disable the Force SSL plugin, I can use this flash uploading module whithout any problem !

Hmm... this could be a problem with Wordpress. Did you make sure that BOTH urls are saying HTTPS? I think you have to add "https" twice - once for your site URL and once for the WP url.
