[Plugin: Sidebar Login] Sidebar and SSL

  • Hi,
    I configured my WP to work with a homepage free to all users and visitors and all other pages visible only to registered users logged in.
    I use Sidebar Login plugin on the homepage to log in.
    Now I need to use SSL to secure login in WP and admin page, so I installed SLL certificate on server and add string…

    define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true);

    in wp-config.php

    When I go to my blog at the url https://www.mydomain.com and use “Sidebar Login” to input User and Password… these are transmitted crypted or clear?

    What I need to do for secure login with “Sidebar Login”?

    Many thanks in advance for support ??

  • I have come across this same problem. I believe you are right; if the page you submit the form from is not SSL protected… then that info is sent in the clear. You would have to make your whole website SSL in order for the sidebar login to work this way. This might be as easy as making your WordPress address (URL) be https://yoursite.com/ in the wordpress general settings area.

    let me know if that works.

    same problem here and my pages are secure…
