# [Plugin: WordPress HTTPS (SSL)] WPEC and Blank Product Admin Page

 * I’m running the following version…
 * WordPress 3.2.1
    Wordpress HTTPS 2.0.2 WP E-Commerce 3.8.7.2 w/Gold Cart
 * Up until recently, before I upgraded to WP HTTPS 2.0.2, everything was working
   fine. I used this plugin to protect my cart and checkout pages in WPEC. And then
   used the wp-config file for securing my WP admin pages.
 * The parameter I used in wp-config was: **define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true);**
 * After upgrading, I noticed that my Product admin page pulls up blank. No 404 
   or anything, just a blank page. Everything else works except for this. And the
   only way I’ve been able to get it work is by doing one of two things…
 * 1) Disabling WP HTTPS entirely
    or 2) Enabling WP HTTPS, but disabling the “force
   ssl admin” option in wp-config file and disabling “Force SSL Administration” 
   in WP HTTPS itself.
 * In other words, I cannot SSL protect my Admin pages when WP HTTPS is enabled.
   Because, if it is, I cannot view my WPEC products.
 * Wondering if anyone else has seen this problem yet? Thanks in advance of any 
   help or advice you can give. My site can be viewed at:

 * Hey kscurloc,
 * Is there any chance you could try running WordPress in [debug mode](http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Debug)
   and see if you can see that error? Otherwise, you may need to check your Apache
   error logs to figure out what’s going on. I tried installing WPEC on my test 
   server and couldn’t reproduce your issue. Note that I used WPEC 3.8.7.4.
 * Thanks,
    Mike

 * I’m having the same issue. The Dashboard URL displays a blank page after logging
   into the admin section. I can view the front end of the site and all other admin
   pages, just not the dashboard. If I disable “WordPress HTTPS” I can view the 
   Dashboard.
 * I am NOT forcing SSL on the admin. I have tried turning it off and on, but it
   makes no difference.
 * Any help would be appreciated!
 * WP : 3.2.1
    WP-HTTPS : 2.0.4 WPSC : v3.8.6 Gold Cart : v2.9.4

 * I found the problem code. It is in the WPSC admin page in “plugins/wp-e-commerce/
   wpsc-admin/admin.php”. On line 588, is the function, “wpsc_dashboard_news”. This
   is calling “[http://getshopped.org/category/wp-e-commerce-plugin/&#8221](http://getshopped.org/category/wp-e-commerce-plugin/&#8221);
   which of course is not secured with https. This call is preventing the page from
   loading.
 * I commented out line 561, `wp_add_dashboard_widget( 'wpsc_dashboard_news', __('
   Getshopped News' , 'wpsc' ), 'wpsc_dashboard_news' );` to keep it from loading.
 * This allowed my admin dashboard to load again.
