 * My plan is to force all URLs, front – and back end to use HTTPS.
    Would it be
   enough to set the WordPress Address and the Site Address to use https:// ?
 * I just gave it a try and if I enter a http url manually it still works.
 * Can I get this working without this plugin or not?

 * OK, kinda gave up on getting this to work so I tried setting the above mentioned
   URLs to http, enable this plugin and only force some pages to use https.
 * These are the plugin’s settings: [http://screencast.com/t/ToKRwXgxOb](http://screencast.com/t/ToKRwXgxOb)
 * it doesn’t work though, check this page: [http://www.premaman.co.za/shop/](http://www.premaman.co.za/shop/)
   that page has the option set to force https and still it works just fine with
   http.
    the debugging is enabled so check the console…

 * questions upon questions:
    - do I need to set the port to 443?
    - do I need to provide a host for ssl if it is the same one the plugin is installed
      on?
    - what exactly does this option do? Secure Front Page
 * [http://www.premaman.co.za/shop/](http://www.premaman.co.za/shop/) still works
   just fine although it should be forced to use https 🙁
