[wp-hackers] From SSL to non-SSL

[mccormicky]

Ok, I added a 3rd site to my test.
Came up the same results as #2.
The case#1 is the exception.
The other 2 site's  themes and textwidgets were edited so that *all
linkage*would use relative paths. This was overkill as it happens.
Seems that as long as all css and js files in the header and all images in
the page are sent with https I can use full paths for navigation and the
browser doesn't object.

So case #1 must have something in *httpd*.*conf*  (?) because I don't see
anything special in .htaccess.
Guess it's a host issue at this point?
