Forcing Wordpress administration over SSL

I never like typing a password into a non-SSL site, no matter how trivial it is. In order to give my own site this ability I simply used mod_rewrite to force requests to Wordpress’s admin pages to go over SSL.

The .htaccess file for the site looks like this:

BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /evan/ RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /evan/index.php [L]
