# Settings in WordPress HTTPS seem to have no effect

 * I have tried to secure both the admin panel and my online store using the WordPress
   HTTPS plugin. It seems like no matter what I set in the plugin itself or by checking
   force https on individual pages doesn’t have any affect. I can still access the
   pages over http.
 * Wordpress is configured using a <virtualHost *:80> setting in httpd.conf and 
   <virtualHost *:443> in ssl.conf.
 * I have added a couple of lines to .htaccess inside the wordpress directory to
   redirect a page that is no longer inside of wordpress to a different site, but
   I have put these redirect commands OUTSIDE of the #begin WordPress and #end WordPress
   tags.
 * Any help or insight would be appreciated.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsettings-in-wordpress-https-seem-to-have-no-effect%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
