 * Hi, I installed your plugin, changed the home and site url and now when I click
   on secure the front page, it lock me out and I cant get in. The hosting guys 
   have since then put a code in to force all pages to be SSL and so now I can login.
   Not sure, do I now need SSL plugin at all? if so how do I make it work without
   getting locked out? I have a login widget in the sidebar that does not work since
   adding an SSL cert. I was hoping your plugin would solve that, but it is not.
   What is your suggestion all these things? Thanks

 * prior to this adjustment from hosting guys, that was grayed out and now it is
   not. I just set it, but it is still not letting me login on the front page only
   if I go back to wp-login.php there it works fine.

 * I tried with other logins too, just in case, but still not letting me login any
   other pages…apparently those login forms do not use https and cant figure out
   why

 * Can you look at the code that creates the form? Perhaps it’s hard-coded.

 * You said you have a login widget. Where does it come from, a plugin or a theme?

 * If you have Force SSL Admin enabled, the plugin should change any form or link
   that points to the login page to HTTPS. I just tested this on one of my sites
   to confirm. Can you post a link?
