 * I can’t seem to get any of my new wordpress site pages to be secure at all, all
   of them give me a browser error “to many redirects”
 * I talked with my hosting provider and they said its an issue with wordpress, 
   because my (non wordpress) live site works with ssl [https://www.domain.com/](https://www.domain.com/)
 * But the new “wordpress” site does not work with https SSL
    [https://www.domain.com/index_dev.php/products-page/checkout/](https://www.domain.com/index_dev.php/products-page/checkout/)
 * So I know the certificate is working. Just not on my new wordpress site.
 * I am running the latest version of wordpress, and the latest version of wp ecommerce.
   I have these plugins installed and active:
 * All-In-One Cufón
    GigPress HTTPS for WordPress WP E-Commerce Weight & Destination
   Shipping Modules WP Shopping Cart
 * Basically all pages in the wordpress site will not work with https, not just 
   the wp ecommerce pages. All return the same browser error, “Page will not load,
   to many redirects”
 * Does anyone know a fix for this?

 * Thanks, But all that seems to do is force admin to be secure, when I go to my
   actual pages those still return the same error, “to many redirects” when I use
   https.
 * I did not try any of the other things on that page you sent under “Further Information”
   because it said it was information in case you’re using an older version of WordPress
   or your SSL setup is somewhat different (ie. your SSL certificate is for a different
   domain).
 * I am using the latest version of wordpress and my certificate is for my domain
   name.
 * Seems like it should be pretty straight forward, do I have to have two installs
   of workpress one using ssl? seems like a hassle.
 * Any other suggestions?

 * The answer, since WordPress is so lame about it, is to put your e-commerce outdice
   the WordPress environment, separate pages that can be secured. This is idiotic,
   but after a week of trying every tip, hack, plugin available from this site and
   many others, I have found nothing that works simply and efficiently with WordPress.
 * I I even find a solution, I will post it here.

 * Johnh44, did the plugin “WordPress HTTPS” fix your issues?
    I found this in your
