 * Hi,
 * Does your plugin accomodate SSL for admin or the whole site?
 * Thanks

 * Can you be more specific? If you are using SSL and have a valid SSL certificate
   then BPS Pro works fine on websites using SSL.

 * Hi,
 * I’m thinking more like Better WP Secure which has the ability to SSL the Admin
   area, a single page, or the whole site as part of the plugin.
 * This is a security feature lacking in WP.
    Encrypting the admin area is a great
   addition to any security plan for WP. Encrypting the whole site, whether commerce
   or not, is a great idea however I understand not all plugins would function well
   in that environment.
 * Thanks,
 * Mitch

 * Uh yeah i think you better take a look at that plugin’s “What others are saying”
   area before you decide to try that plugin. 😉 You are forewarned that you should
   perform a backup and they are serious – so do not skip that part or you will 
   be sorry if something goes horribly wrong. I have assisted several people in 
   recovering their websites after using that plugin and it is a royal pain to fix
   everything so do the backup.
 * I’m not saying that it is a bad plugin. I would be very apprehensive to use it
   on a Live Production website unless i had thoroughly tested it first because 
   if you make a mistake it WILL destroy your website. I think what has happened
   with the development of that plugin is that they have tried to develop the plugin
   in too many directions at once and it appears they are spread a little too thin.
   Several versions in a row broke ALL websites, which usually indicates either 
   rushing, carelessness or biting off more then you should be chewing at one time.
 * True SSL requires a valid SSL certificate.
    Forced or Pseudo-SSL is not really
   as secure as true SSL because it is not really valid SSL. I can easily get around/
   hack Pseudo-SSL, where real SSL is not beatable.
 * And i agree that, that is an interesting security approach using encryption, 
   but not a website security direction i would ever choose because of the direction
   Zend is going with Zend Guard and the Encryption that they use and more importantly
   what is coming in the future of Zend. This is an inevitable train wreck that 
   has not happened quite yet, but it will eventually.
