Hi there,
I hope you are well.
I have moved my site from http to https and I have noticed that I am unable to access the admin area when I login using the theme login pop up box. I can see that I am already logged-in but I can’t access the admin area, when trying to access it from the admin top bar. Also, I was unable to edit posts directly from the home page or admin top bar.
This is the message I kept getting: You must log in to access this area.
Interestingly though, if I login to the site using wp-login.php e.g https://www.website.com/wp-login-php , I can access the admin area from the top bar, edit posts from the home page, and everything seems to work fine. I have checked everything, all permalinks, settings, plugins look as they should be. The only thing that I am thinking of might be the login pop up box, it could be the issue when the site uses secure SSL.
When I reverted back to none secure access via http:// everything works fine.
I hope you can investigate the above issue and see if you encounter the same the issue when using a secure (SSl) connection. Please let me know if there is anything I need to do to get this issue solved and start using secure connection for the site.
Other findings I would like to share with you.
After moving the site to a secure connection, I have noticed that the site was really sluggish and slow, so maybe, that is some you can consider in your future updates, and make the theme faster in secure and none secure environments. I think you have done a fantastic job with the super-fast mobile theme and I hope you can do the same with the desktop version too.
Please let me know what you find.
Kind Regards
Hello,
Our theme is already compatible with either http or https. If you take a look at the code you will see this everywhere: http://screencast.com/t/0riGyyiH
It probably means you missed a step in moving to ssl.
Please refer to these few resources:
