# [Plugin: WordPress HTTPS (SSL)] 410 redirect loop with "Force SSL Exclusively"

 * With new version 3.2,
 * enabling “force ssl exclusively” causes the 401 Too Many Redirects when trying
   to visit any Admin Area. I already had it enabled prior to upgrading this plugin.
   Upgrade immediately cause redirect loop 410.
 * Did a reset of the plugin to get back into admin. Was able to isolate the 410
   to enabling Force SSL Exclusively
 * Site pages work OK (other than the fact that I want to Force SSL Exclusively)
 * This did not occur with previous version of wordpress-https plugin.
 * wp-config
    define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true); define(‘FORCE_SSL_LOGIN’, true);

 * I got an ‘error 310 too many redirects’ for the admin area after enabling Force
   SSL Exclusively. I also did a reset of the plugin to get back into the admin.
   Is there a fix? Thanks.

 * I got the same error with the same isolation. too many redirects. Basically, 
   what I gather, wp-config is sending admin/login requests to SSL. However, HTTPS
   plugin thinks it should force it exclusively and redirects to HTTP which then
   redirects to HTTPS due to wp-config settings and then the redirect loop begins.
 * For now, I was able to change my wp-config settings to false. then I turned on
   in the HTTPS plugin settings to Force SSL Administration. I’d rather not do that.
   I’d rather do that setting in the wp-config file. Definitely think this is a 
   bug.

 * I’ll have a fix out in the next release. If you’d like, try the [development version](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wordpress-https.zip)
   and let me know if it works for you.
