Odd Glitch with Updating Really Simple SSL

Support

Ok, more info on using SSL without plugin support:

Forcing https

This is a tipical apache configuration, done with mod_rewrite

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
    RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,QSA]
</IfModule>

Fixing mixed contents

You have to change database entry like http://your.site to https://your.site excluding what you find in the guid columns, so a search/replace in the db dump is dangerous (must me done with care).
The wp-cli solution is
wp search-replace 'http://your.site' 'https://your.site' --skip-columns=guid --dry-run
to test things and
wp search-replace 'http://your.site' 'https://your.site' --skip-columns=guid
to do the job.
