    This has now happened 3 times in a row.

    When you go to deactivate the plugin, it writes the following to your wp-config.php file. It forces everything through SSL, and if you don’t use SSL on your hosting it breaks your site.

    define( ‘FORCE_SSL_LOGIN’, true );
    define( ‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true );
    define( ‘DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT’, true );

    You need to manually edit wp-config.php and remove these.

  • This is completely bogus. I just had this same issue. I loved this plugin, but way too buggy now.

    Had this same issue when I deactivated the plugin. Anyone knows why?

    There are 2 possible reasons:

    1. Incompetent developers (though I’ve used iThemes products before and would have a hard time believing they can’t code)

    2. Someone in another thread said it’s a pure tactic to get people to buy premium support.

    epaslv,thank you so much!

    I lost a 6 hours to find a solution to this problem.

    Does anyone knows if this issue has been addressed and solved in version 4.0.21? Also is 4.0.21 working flawlessly?

    Don’t want to risk updating to 4.0.21, find that it does not work, deactivate it and run into this SSL problem again.

    Does not look like Cory Miller and his team at iThemes are interested in fixing this.

    Maybe they are just not capable of it.

    Well, today I have pulled the plug on this plugin for all the sites I manage.

    epaslv, you can always go back to last BWPS version before ithemes took over it. Just FYI.
