[Plugin: Better WP Security] Enforcing SSL option

  • Hello,

    I installed the plugin and everything was great! Then I made the mistake of checking the “enforce ssl” box and clicked “save” despite the NOTE in red.

    Now I cannot access my admin section due to 404 error regarding the certificate of the site! I deleted the plugin folder but I still can’t access.

    What files I need to restore in order to override this SSL enforcement problem?

    Thanks

  • I broke my site twice doing this. Can someone PLEASE respond?

    I’m not sure exactly what the answer is as far as the SSL option–I haven’t checked that, but I read the note–so here’s what I did to restore some stuff in a previous version of the plugin when I had an issue:

    I opened the database using phpMyAdmin and removed the BWPS tables. Then I opened my site using my ftp client, and manually deleted the plugin. Finally, I opened my .htaccess and removed the Better WP Security entries.

    Then I cleared my cache, etc. I was then able to get back into my back end.

    The answer is in the plugin readme.txt:

    = I’ve enabled the Enforce SSL option and it broke my site. How do I get back in?
    * Open your wp-config.php file in a text editor and remove the following 2 lines:
    * define(‘FORCE_SSL_LOGIN’, true);;
    * define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true);;
