 * Hi All,
    I am very new to this and need some help. I am using WordPress 3.9.2
   running Alyeska theme, and have installed the plugin WordPress HTTPS (SSL) 3.3.6.
   I got locked out the first time and used FTP to delete the file so that I could
   start again.
 * The SSL host is: vancouver-seo-company.com
    There is no port set.
 * On some occasions the plugin will install and then ask to be activated, but then
   it goes to:
    “Safari can’t open the page “https://www.vancouver-seo-company.com/
   wp-admin/plugins.php?action=activate&plugin=wordpress-https%2Fwordpress-https.
   php&_wpnonce=93e0c5f82a” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to
   the server “www.vancouver-seo-company.com”
 * On other occasions the dashboard will disappear after I have activated the plugin,
   or selected the “Force SSL” and be replaced by a message on Safari that states:
   “
   Safari can’t open the page “https://www.vancouver-seo-company.com/wp-admin/plugins.
   php?action=activate&plugin=wordpress-https%2Fwordpress-https.php&_wpnonce=93e0c5f82a”
   because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server “www.vancouver-
   seo-company.com”
 * I have also gone into the FTP code editor and followed the instructions to remove
   the “//” to reset the plugin. Once the plugin is reset, I then re enter the “//”
   back into the code.
    After the code has been removed, I can get back into the
   dashboard.
 * I then go into “settings” and select the “Force SSL Administration.” This sends
   the screen to the above message from Safari.
 * I am not sure where to head to next. The site is still live, and I can access
   the dashboard, but I would like to complete this project.
 * Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks Peter
