# [Plugin: WordPress HTTPS] Have site on non-standard port, can't make SSL admin working

 * Hi
 * I’m running a blog on my home server. Unfortunately my ISP blocks incoming connections
   on ports 80 and 8080, so I have to use non-standard port. Blog URL is [http://yoush.homelinux.org:8079/](http://yoush.homelinux.org:8079/)
 * I’m looking for a way to have login and admin pages served over SSL. my web server
   listens at standard https port (443), and is able to serve static content over
   SSL.
 * But I can’t find a way to do so. I tried to follow instructions from [http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Over_SSL](http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Over_SSL)
   and set FORCE_SSL_ADMIN to true, but got login/admin URLs starting with [https://yoush.homelinux.org:8079/](https://yoush.homelinux.org:8079/)–
   which does not work (because https is served at different port). I tried to install
   wordpress-https plugin ans set up “shared ssl” there to [https://yoush.homelinux.org/](https://yoush.homelinux.org/)–
   but that does not change anything.
 * Any hints?

 * Hey Yoush,
 * The ‘Shared SSL’ feature should work for this purpose. When you tried it, did
   you also have FORCE_SSL_ADMIN enabled?
 * Thanks,

 * Hello Mvied.
 * Just retried this setup: FORCE_SSL_ADMIN set to true, wordpress-https activated,
   all checkboxes at wordpress-https setting page other than “shared ssl” unchecked,“
   shared ssl” checked, “shared ssl url” set to [https://yoush.homelinux.org/](https://yoush.homelinux.org/),
   also tried [https://yoush.homelinux.org:443/](https://yoush.homelinux.org:443/)
 * Still admin links on the main page point to [https://yoush.homelinux.org:8079/](https://yoush.homelinux.org:8079/)
 * This is what server returns right now.
 * Something going wrong here?

 * Hey Yoush,
 * SSL in the admin panel is something I implemented after testing it myself, but
   only some users can get it to work. I imagine this is due to different hosting
   environments and WordPress version & plugin variations.
 * Basically, this feature needs some polishing. If you could let me test the plugin
   on your server, either on your site or a blank WordPress installation, that would
   be greatly appreciated.
 * If not, that’s fine too, I just won’t be able to offer much more help. 🙂
 * Thanks,
    Mike

 * I think debugging on my site is possible.
