Ok, I've purchased and installed an SSL certificate on the server, but I'm running Wordpress and can't figure out how to make the two pages I need secure. From searching it seems that there's some janky workarounds with htaccess, but there has to be a solid way to do this. I was hoping there would be a quick and easy plugin, but it doesn't seem to be out there. Anyone have experience with this. Thanks.
 


if you already have the SSL certificate installed, then simply going to https:// will enable the SSL certificate. You could also just update the links going to that page to goto https:// . or do a very simple htaccess that redirects all http:// traffic to https://

OR in Settings -> General, change your wordpress blog and site url to have a https:// prefix.
 
I don't want the entire site to be https because it seriously slows it down. I have two credit application pages that I need to secure. What would be the best way to do a redirect to https in htaccess for those two pages?

edit: actually screw it, I'll just use the redirect plugin. It's going to give me the same results as far as I can tell.
 
^^ Dude I know you know your code...

The other "janky" workarounds I found had me doing adding a bunch of shit to htaccess and I had to create additional php pages for the redirect. That's what I didn't want to do. This is pretty clean and easy. But I do thank you for what you could have possibly done to help if I hadn't confused you.

LoL I wasn't complaining, more like smacking myself for not just throwing it out there. And yea what you described is crap indeed.
