Could you please help me with the Force SSL plugin? Using either WordPress 2.3 or WordPress 2.5 with this plugin enabled the comments function does not work properly. The comments form displays but on submit an "error" occurs -- with IE 7 I receive a 405 error, with FireFox 2.0 I receive a blank page.

The comments posted with Force SSL enabled are not making it to the database (as far as I can tell). They do not register on any admin pages or post pages, nor do they appear after Force SSl is disabled.

I do have other plugins installed, Members Only being one of them. I don't know if that makes a difference.

I should also mention I am a (very) new WordPress user. What other information do you need? Thanks in advance.

Sorry, but I think this is out of my capabilities for looking into. The Force SSL plugin is VERY simple, and I've been using it with those browsers without any issue. The only thing I could think to check would be that you've changed your options so that your site has https in the URL. So, on your options page, if your site is normally:

http://example.com and http://example.com/wordpress
...change that to...
https://example.com and https://example.com/wordpress

Other than that, I have no clue.
