Just as a follow-up–that worked perfectly for me (adding database rows for the serialized options).

Thanks for your help!

Thanks, @congthien–I’ll try copying those serialized options in the DB and see how it goes.

That’s what I was afraid of. I think I’ll just hard-code a script to force SSL on that checkout page, no matter what, and then I’ll post to a secure script outside of WP that pulls in my theme’s functions and classes. I didn’t want to have to play hard-ball, but that’s looking like the best option, at this point.

I think native SSL support is something that needs to happen in order for WP to be viewed as more than just a blogging engine. Maybe it’s already in the works!

Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Hmmm…after clearing my cache, I still see the same behavior.

Actually, after reading your post, it appears that you were experiencing the same problem, but I probably did not word my question correctly. Both of the links I posted should go to the HTTPS version. It should not be possible at all to access the HTTP version.

The switching back and forth occurs if you go, say, to the HTTPS version, and then try to go to it again from there (for example, you click in the address bar and hit “ENTER”). Then, it switches protocols for no reason.

I have verified this behavior on two machines with different ISPs, in browsers that have never visited the site, as well as on my Droid phone.

Thanks for your response, BH_WP_Guru.

I guess it must be a caching issue. I thought of that initially, but I tried it on two separate machines with the same result, so I discarded that thought and forgot to trying clearing cache first.

I’ll give it a shot.

Thanks,

Tony

Figured it out! In “Reading Settings” the client had “Blog Pages Show at Most” set to 1. I bumped it up to 10, and that resolved it!

I just learned that no POST data is being sent to post.php when a site is created or updated on my site, which is why it’s just redirecting it back to the generic edit.php page (the page that lists all of the posts).

Now, the question is, “Why is that happening?” I have 80 other sites on my server and they all can post data just fine, and, indeed, I can post data on the front-end of this site. For example, I can log in just fine, but for whatever reason none of my post data is getting through on the post.php page!

So it has the same behavior on both the default TwentyEleven theme and on my theme. I don’t get what is going on!?

I almost feel that it’s GOT to be something server-configuration-related, as I did move from PHP 5.2 to 5.3, and having no mod_sec to a very strict mod_sec with specific white-listed paths.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Oh, BTW, I did deactivate the plugins via PhpMyAdmin. I had to do that due to an unrelated magic_quotes_gpc() issue with some of my out-of-date plugins that was preventing me from even viewing the site at all initially. I didn’t do it via FTP, but I assume either method would achieve the same effect…(?)

Great suggestions, esmi. I’ll start with those and see what comes of it.
