# [Plugin: Admin SSL] function "user_can" breaks everything

 * After upgrading to wp 3.1, this plugin breaks the whole site because it defines
   a function “user_can” which WP 3.1 also defines.
 * I replaced “user_can(” with “admin_ssl_user_can” throughout the plugin, then 
   a find/replace on “current_admin_ssl_user_can” with “current_user_can” throughout
   the plugin to resolve.
 * Here’s the 1.4.1b version that you can manually install until the plugin author
   fixes it: [http://ge.tt/6HRidQv/admin-ssl-secure-admin.1.4.1b.zip?type=download](http://ge.tt/6HRidQv/admin-ssl-secure-admin.1.4.1b.zip?type=download)
 * NOTE: if you’re not good with wordpress and manually moving file around, you 
   should probably just wait for the update to come out.

 * Run these sed commands within the admin-ssl-secure-admin directory.
 *     ```
       sed -i '/user_can/ s/user_can/admin_ssl_user_can/g' *php
       sed -i '/current_admin_ssl_user_can/ s/current_admin_ssl_user_can/current_user_can/g' *php
       ```

 * Please try version 2.0-b2, I have it running on my own site and it works fine,
   I’ll release it as version 2.0 if no-one else reports any issues.
