 * Hello,
 * This might be a stupid problem (probably stupid for me doing it), but I’m using
   yout plugin on one of my website pages and today the HTTPS stopped working (getting
   an error saying that there isn’t the right third party info and warnings when
   you go to the page).
 * So I started messing around with the settings to see if that would fix it. One
   of the things I did was change the host and the port, then I checked off the 
   SSL with Administrator box (I think that was it) to see what it did. Anyway, 
   it logged me out of my WordPress site and when I went to /wp-admin to re-login
   I would just get a blank page. Figuring I broke something, I went into the plugins
   in my FTP, deleted the HTTPS plugin folder, and I was able to log back in.
 * The problem is that now when I re-install the plugin I can’t activate or delete
   it through the wordpress dashboard, it just gives me a blank screen. Is there
   a way to completely flush the plugin manually through the ftp? It seems to be
   saving my broken settings even after I delete the folder…
 * I know this is silly / weird problem, but any help would be great..
 * Thanks,
    Jesse

 * Hey Jesse,
 * You can reset the plugin settings by adding `define('WPHTTPS_RESET', true);` 
   to your wp-config.php. After the settings have reset, make sure you remove it.
 * I just pushed out version 3.0. Please update and let me know if you need any 
   help.
 * Sorry for the late response. I have not had time to support the plugin for a 
   while now. Since I just pushed out 3.0, I’ll be keeping an eye on the support
   forums to fix any bugs that arise.
 * Thanks,
    Mike
