Hi,
If we make the website secure (htttps), we have some issues with "log in" settings - for instance, a student or admin is logged in and when clicking on certain pages, it appears that he has to log in again - instead of username at the top, you see again "log in" or "sign up"; when clicking again on another page, student or admin show again as logged in (you can see the username again on top). So actually that user is always logged in, but on certain pages of the website appears that is not. This can be confusing for students who are not familiar with the website since they keep trying to log in over and over.
Also there is no visible link to request reset password - one has to actually type in a username and something in the password field, so the site directs the user to request link for resetting the password.
How do we fix these issues? not sure if they are related or not...
thanks

Okay please make sure when you enable http on your site you change your wordpress and site urls with https also in your wp-admin-> settings-> general .
after changing urls login again and re-save permalinks clear all the caches from scratch .
