Force SSL Admin
Overview
Redirects dashboard and/or login to HTTPS so http:// admin URLs become encrypted. Separate toggles for dashboard vs login—both default off; module on alone does nothing until you check an area and save. Enable confirm requires working SSL; emergency safety disable URL exists if something goes wrong. Soft overlap with host-level Force SSL and Security Headers HSTS. Do not enable without a valid certificate.

- Sites still reachable over HTTP admin URLs
- Shared hosting without host-level force-SSL
- Baseline HTTPS hygiene for wp-admin and login
