# FORCE_SSL_ADMIN deprecated in wp-config-sample.php

 * Noticed before installing 4.0 , that the file wp-config-sample.php has changed.
   These constants are no longer there ..
 *     ```
       FORCE_SSL_LOGIN
       WPLANG
       ```
   
 * I see from down the bottom of the page at [Version 4.0 what’s new](http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_4.0#What.27s_New)
   that these are now deprecated.
 * Where do I now place FORCE_SSL_ADMIN ?
 * Also, I had this code in my wp-config.php ..
 *     ```
       /**
       *  Disable WordPress cron job
       */
       define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);
       ```
   
 * is there another place for that now ? I don’t use talkbacks, pingbacks or whatever
   they are called. The CRON is a waste of resources for me.
 * Pete

 * Re-read what it said:
 * > `FORCE_SSL_LOGIN` – use `FORCE_SSL_ADMIN` instead
 * Use FORCE_SSL_ADMIN, still works.

 * Do I still place the following in wp-config.php ?
 *     ```
       define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);
       define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);
       ```
   
 * Also, if I’m the only admin and the only person that logs in, is there a need
   for FORCE_SSL_ADMIN to be set to true ? I do have an SSL connection, but would
   prefer that no links are shown which point to it.

 * Yes, you still place it in your wp-config.php, wherever youwant to (though above
   the bit that says ‘stop editing here’). Nothing changed with that 🙂
