Force User SSL

If your website has some functions that allow logged in users to interact with your website on the front end, you might want to force your logged in users to use your website through SSL without forcing normal users to use SSL. Instead of having to insert the code into your theme, you can also just use this plugin, which hooks it to the get_header() function.
To secure the WordPress administration with SSL as well, please edit your wp-config.php as described in the WordPress Codex.

Install via WordPress Admin

1. Go to Admin > Plugins > Add New

3. After installation, activate it

Install via FTP

2. Using FTP go to your server’s wp-content/plugins directory
3. Upload the unzipped plugin here

Do I need to configure anything?

No, this plugin does not need a settings page.

Does this plugin also force SSL in the backend of the website?

Why does my browser tell me that my website is not secure?

You have to have a valid SSL certificate for your website in order for this plugin to work. If you don’t know how to get one, Google it.
