Turns off SSL for the Flash uploader when you have FORCE_SSL_ADMIN enabled, in case you are having trouble getting it to work ("IO Error").
As of April 2026, NO SSL Flash Upload is a WordPress ssl plugin with 10 active installations and a 0/5 rating0. It has been downloaded 4.4K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 3.1+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2009. Last updated 13 years ago — may have compatibility concerns. Top alternative: Cloudflare.
Note: WordPress 3.3 offers a new, non-Flash uploader; this plugin may break it.
If you are using SSL (https) to secure your WordPress admin sessions and you
have an SSL certificate that is not trusted by default (because it is self-
signed, signed by an untrusted certificate authority, signed for a different
domain name, etc.), then you probably have problems using the Flash uploader.
This plugin disables SSL usage by the Flash uploader. This allows you to use
the Flash uploader when you have FORCE_SSL_ADMIN enabled, with an untrusted SSL
certificate. This works around the vague “IO Error” you get from the Flash
uploader in such a situation.
Note that this plugin comes with the following security implications:
| WordPress | 3.1+ requiredTested up to 3.2.1 |
| PHP | false+ required |
