Hi there,

I'm running your latest software on my site, forum.radicards.com and have run into an issue.

I just added https to my website url and now I cannot edit published posts.
I've deactivated all plugins except Simple:Press and still the issue persists.

Can you help me understand how we can fix this?

Can you supply some more detail please? How have you switched to SSL exactly? And - in what way are you unable to edit posts? What does or does not happen?

I added an SSL Certificate to the domain. Then I revised the .htaccess file to force https on all pages. Then I installed a WordPress plugin called, WordPress HTTPS.

When I go to edit a post, I click the Edit button and the page refreshes to the same page without the Edit window. It acts just like the Submit Reply button.

I'm happy to provide login credentials via pm.

I checked this and it's currently set to the standard http arrangement:

http://www.forum.radicards.com/forum

 

How can we change it to reflect https?

Yes. I have tried the "Update Forum Permalink" option and it didn't change anything. It's still http://www.forum.radicards.com/forum.
