 * Hi-
    There appears to be a problem with the rewrite of the links for “pagination”
   in the Admin area. Enable the plugin, check “Force SSL for Admin” and then go
   to, for example, the Comment section.
 * The page presented has links for advancing to the next page of comments. (Or 
   previous or navigating directly to a section of the comments). These are the 
   arrow buttons on the right side of the the page.
 * If you hover over these buttons and look at the link in the browser’s status 
   bar, the address link is presented with an IP in place of the shared SSL site
   name like “secure.domain.com”.
 * Clicking on the link then causes an SSL error because the IP in the link doesn’t
   match the hostname in the SSL certificate. I’m then logged out of the admin area.
 * If I disable the plugin and go to the same spot and hover over the link, the 
   site name is displayed rather than an IP address, thus why I think it’s something
   in the plugin.
 * If you need more info or this isn’t clear, let me know.
 * Regards-
    Gerry

 * I’ve installed the latest version and this problem still exists.

 * Did you enter an IP address into the SSL Host setting? That’s the only way it
   would do something like that. Leave the host setting to its default unless you
   use a separate subdomain, Shared SSL or something where your HTTPS URL is not
   the same as your WordPress URL.

 * > Did you enter an IP address into the SSL Host setting?
 * No. I should have mentioned my settings and usage. It’s a shared SSL usage of
   the plugin. So the SSL Host setting is of the form “secure.webhost.com/~username/
   blog.” I’m using the plugin to secure my Admin sessions, so the “Force SSL Administration”
   is checked as well. Proxy is set to “No” and no domain mapping or filters setup
   either. Pretty vanilla setup.
 * As I said, everything else works as expected.
 * I could provide you with a login if that would help.
 * Thanks for getting back to me. It’s not a killer, as I can access the pages by
   modifying the address in the address bar. But it is a usability issue.

 * I’m leaning toward a conflict with another plugin, or some odd server configuration.
   Nowhere in my code do I look for an IP address. I’ll take a look. My email is
   mike[at]mvied[dot]com.
