Is there a way to force SSL login on WordPress?

What happens if WordPress is hosted without SSL?
If WordPress is hosted behind a reverse proxy that provides SSL, but is hosted itself without SSL, these options will initially send any requests into an infinite redirect loop. To avoid this, you may configure WordPress to recognize the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO header (assuming you have properly configured the reverse proxy to set that header).
Can a wp admin run over a secure connection?
Sometimes, you want your whole wp-admin to run over a secure connection using the https protocol. Conceptually, the procedure works like this: Set up two virtual hosts with the same url (the blog url), one secure, the other not. On the secure virtual host, set up a rewrite rule that shuttles all non-wp-admin traffic to the insecure site.
What should I do if my WordPress login is not secure?
You already know the drill: Install an SSL certificate to remove the “Not Secure” warning from your website. That didn’t work for your login and admin page. WordPress login says not secure, so does the admin dashboard. Now what? There is only one solution to this problem: force both pages to serve with SSL.
Why is my wp-admin unable to login?
I inspected the code and the login form is pointing to my old site (the http one) and when I look at the code in the file, the form action is set to site_url () and I can’t seem to find where it’s defined. You need to change the site url in wp-admin->Settings->General.
