Forgive me for bumping this, but I to would like to know how to have a single page containing a form to be on SSL, but not the rest of the site.
I also would like to use WP 2.6
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I’m also interested in this, but for v2.7
Christiaan I’ve been having the same problem I think I can help you!
Are you hosting with MediaTemple? I was able to make a single page with a form secure!
I do believe it is a media temple thing. In the wp-includes/cononial.php file you have to change ‘HOST_NAME’ to ‘SERVER_NAME’ on line 48.
Hi diced, no I’m with Hostpapa. Your fix seems a bit strange though. How does that force a single page to https? How do you choose which page you want to force to https?
I am not with mediatemple and I am having the same problem. Please post a fix.
I ended just forcing this if statement to always set it to https://
line 47, /wp-includes/canonical.php (WordPress 2.7)
from
$requested_url = ( !empty($_SERVER['HTTPS'] ) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) == 'on' ) ? 'https://' : 'http://';
to
$requested_url = ( !empty($_SERVER['HTTPS'] ) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) == 'on' ) ? 'https://' : 'https://';
I really hope someone figures this out.
I think I found a temporary fix for this. I managed to get one page working with SSL and have the rest of the site be outside of https:// for speed reasons.
I used the HTTPS for WordPress Plugin to get the page working with SSL. I added some custom PHP to header.php to take the rest of the site out of https://.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/https-for-wordpress/
After you activate the plugin add this PHP to header.php, or it may work in functions.php as well.
<?php
// Force SSL for Incorporate Online
if(is_page('incorporate-online')) {
if($_SERVER["HTTPS"] != "on") {
$newurl = "https://" . $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
header("Location: $newurl");
exit();
}
} else {
if($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {
$newurl = "http://" . $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
header("Location: $newurl");
exit();
}
}
?>
Where “incorporate-online” is the slug of the page you want SSL running on.
I hope this helps, once I launch this site shortly I can send links to a working example.
