Because of Facebooks change to SSL on Fanpages I've decided to convert my pages to SSL.

I know WP doesn't play well with SSL, so I'm wondering if anyone has any info they'd like to share.

What plugin to use for SSL?

What should I look out for?

Not sure but don't you just need to update ssl cert and https before your links?

Well I didn't do anything to the SSL Cert. I just set the paths to https inside WP. Then installed WordPress HTTPS (SSL)

Supports Shared and Private SSL.
Change internal and external scripts, stylesheets and images to HTTPS if the page is being viewed via HTTPS to prevent partially encrypted errors.
Force HTTPS on only the pages you need to be HTTPS.
Force pages to HTTP that have not been forced to HTTPS.
Prevent WordPress from changing all of your page, category and post links to HTTPS on HTTPS pages.

I installed this one because it "prevent partially encrypted errors."

Everything seems o.k. the blog is http until I login and it changes to https. With the plugin there is an option to force page to https and that should work. We'll see.

Take a look at this. Its what I'm trying to setup.

Whats the benefit of running your site on SSL if your not selling anything nor holding any user details?

EDIT: also Your Neighborhood Store has a unconfigured wordpress install, very dangerous, Found by accident

With Facebook's last scare about changing all Fan Pages over to SSL I just want to make sure that all of mine are o.k.

All my pages now are working but using FBML and that's not going to last. I want to change them over to iframes and this will let me do that and manage all pages from one central WP install.

Thanks for letting me know about the WP files in yourneighborhoodstore.com I must have copied them there by mistake.
My WP install is in the FP directory and it is configured. I'd better delete those files before something bad happens.
