    Hi emptyvessal,

    See if this link helps you out

    http://noctis.de/archives/11-Using-WordPress-with-SSL.html

    Are you trying to force your whole site over SSL or just your login and admin?

    RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
    RewriteRule .* /website/$1 [R=301,L]

    **NOTE**
    Where /website/ is your actual SSL website:
    example:
    RewriteRule .* https://vitalherbs.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

    Since I don’t know your exact target you could try:

    RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !=443
    RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

    DO NOT use this METHOD if are not using IE. You will NOT be able to upload images to your articles.

    Chalk up another fail to WordPress for using flash uploader.

    Which method? And how so?

    That’s possible. Have you set WordPress up to force SSL within wp-config.php?

    I’ve never been satisfied setting up WordPress with SSL. But everyone has different set ups. So you just have to keep trying ’till you find out what works for you.
