 * Trying to save and apply any changes results in the url being redirected from
   http to https, and generates the following error in Opera:
 * ————————————————————————
    Error! Could not connect to remote server
 * You tried to access the address [https://www.domain.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wp-htaccess-control/wp-htaccess-control.php](https://www.domain.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wp-htaccess-control/wp-htaccess-control.php),
   which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is
   correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page.
 * Secure connection: fatal error (552)

 * Opera was not able to connect to the server. The server may be using the unsupported
   SSL 2 protocol, which is not considered safe enough for secure communication.
   The site owner should upgrade to TLS 1.0 or newer.
    Make sure your Internet connection
   is active and check whether other applications that rely on the same connection
   are working. ————————————————————————
 * Firefox simply generates an error code.
 * I would like to try this plugin out, but I’m about to give up.

 * Hi **u.s.marshall**,
 * are you still facing this issue?
    what other plugins do you have activated?
 * Issues with browsers add-ons can probably be discarded since you tested two different
   browsers but have you tried using a different computer?
 * I honestly don’t see how it could be due to WP htaccess Control and it’s the 
   first anyone reports such symptoms.

 * Yes, I have updated to WP 3.4.2 since last posting and thought I would give WP
   htaccess Control another try, same problem.
 * Oddly, when you hover over the “Reset all rules” button, the link points to “
   [https://www.domain.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wp-htaccess-control%2Fwp-htaccess-control.php&action=reset_rules&_wpnonce=5eab600617&#8221](https://www.domain.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wp-htaccess-control%2Fwp-htaccess-control.php&action=reset_rules&_wpnonce=5eab600617&#8221);.
   The “Save all changes” button points to [https://www.domain.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wp-htaccess-control/wp-htacces&#8221](https://www.domain.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wp-htaccess-control/wp-htacces&#8221);.
   I have no idea why either directs to “https” instead of the correct “http”. No
   other installed plugin has ever done this. Nonetheless, I disabled the other 
   plugins to see if that would help, but sadly the problem, which seems to stem
   from the plugin wanting to connect and make changes via ssl, persists.
 * I did some searching and found others describing what looks like the same issue.
   In [one case](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-htaccess-control-making-any-change-creates-an-error?replies=3),
   the user thought the issue might have something to do with their hosting provider.

 * I have the same issue where trying to save changes with .htaccess control redirects
   to a https version of my site (which doesn’t work). The plugin is currently unusable.
