 * After I obtained a SSL certificate for my website and installed WP Force SSL,
   I began receiving ‘504 Gateway Time-out’ errors when working in the WordPress
   admin console. Whenever I tried applying changes the new page would take forever
   to resolve and eventually I’d get the error. Sometimes it would take several 
   page refreshes to get the page to come back up again. I’m using the certificate
   for a donations page I’ve added, and the timeout error came up when doing a test
   run for donating as well. Can’t have that happening with live customers. As soon
   as I deactivate the plugin, the problem disappears. Does anybody know the cause
   of this and how to resolve it? Until I get this resolved, the site certificate
   is useless to me.
