WordPress SSL redirect failure

I have had so many problems managing the wordpress software, it’s ridiculous. If I could find a decent replacement, I’d move everyone over, but this appears to be the best out there. It reminds me of the time when all web browsers sucked and all email clients sucked. The sad thing is, WordPress used to be really solid; now every new version feels a bit more degraded than the last. Perhaps I’ll let them blame it on using PHP. 😉 Enjoy:¹
