# HTTPS to HTTP on LogOut

 * Greetz!
 * We are running WordPress in network mode and we’ve been unable to resolve a problem
   we are encountering with controling the transition from secure pages to non-secure
   pages.
 * The only place that is giving us problems is when a user logs out. Even if they
   are on a non secure page the logout selection wants to return them to an https
   page. The link that is having the issue is in the top loeft corner of the blog
   in the menu under the username. Here there are 3 choices: Edit My Profile, Dashboard
   and Logout. Clicking on logout takes them to wp_login with the querystring “action
   =logout&_wpnonce=4daa532372”. We are forcing users (via the force_ssl_login config
   entry) to login with ssl but when logging out we want them to return to the non
   secure.
 * Any idea how this can be accomplished?

 * I should mention we are running this on Windows with IIS7

 * If you mean the admin bar links, it’s … complicated to edit those.

 * Yeah..it’s the admin bar.

 * I know how to do this manually, but it’s a PITA.
 * Maybe this plugin can do it? [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-custom-admin-bar](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-custom-admin-bar)

 * I was afraid of that. The plugin doesn’t appear to allow the http type to be 
   set so that won’t do what I need.
 * I hardcoded ‘http’ as the scheme parameter for the get_home_url function (they
   should always be http anyway) as the admin bar uses that function but for some
   reason it ignores it and still uses https. Odd. Do I need to do an iisreset after
   altering functions before the changes take effect?

 * No, it’s because it’s coded differently. The only way I know of to do that is
   to build a function to remove that section from the menu and then build your 
   own version. I did that on my site, but I didn’t write it up…
 * Here’s a tutorial on how to add menus to the admin bar: [http://sumtips.com/2011/03/customize-wordpress-admin-bar.html](http://sumtips.com/2011/03/customize-wordpress-admin-bar.html)
 * You’ll want to remove `my-account-with-avatar` and add in your own version with
   https instead of http.
 * Now that said, if you’ve turned on SSL, you DID do this in the wp-config.php 
   file, right? Cause if THAT isn’t pulling in the http/https bit, we have a bug.

 * Hmm…The only values in my wp-config that relate to SSL (AFAIK) are:
    define( ‘
   FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true ); define( ‘FORCE_SSL_LOGIN’, true );
 * Is there another setting I should put in there?

 * No that’s it. Huh. Would you be willing to post in [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/](http://core.trac.wordpress.org/)
   and report that changing the SSL settings in wp-config is NOT affecting the admin
   bar? You can login with the same ID/pwd you use here 🙂
