Help solve a https issue….

site is here:  http://moreheadcitypolicedepartment.com

when we try to click into the actual forums, they keep taking to an https: address, and get page not found.

This site is located in a directory under the primary domain, which does have an https: but, this site doesn’t

We’ve updated the permalink, and it shows http only, but still the wrong path, and an error.

is there something we can do?

Thanks,

M.

I am a bit of a dunce when it comes to ssl so I need Steve to get involved who will surely be along later. But I can ask some questions that he might ask to save time…

Leaving aside the https issue for a moment – you also say it uses the wrong path. The URLs actually look OK to me and do work if you remove the errant ‘s’ so am I misunderstanding this comment?

I can also see that some topics have been started successfully. How was that done or has something changed?

And finally SSL is determined – as I understand it – be constants defined in the wp-config.php file (I think this is one of the codex articles Steve points to – http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Over_SSL) so do you have these defined?

Hi Swordfish… hope you’re well,

Yes, by path I meant the path with the https… the rest of the path is ok

Topics were started before SSL became live on parent site.

Will have to check out the last part to see if there’s something to do with that,

Will report back,

Ok guys, here’s another clue?

The permalink keeps reverting to https – we’ve changed twice, but it reverts

http://screencast.com/t/zVmIkteUp

What is telling this to revert?

When I click ‘Update Forum Permalink’, it comes back with the http:// version

And, seems to work ok… but then we’ve seen this before.

Will keep you updated
