Possible SSL conflict with Shopp & s2member

I'm having a hard time getting s2member to play nice with Shopp.

s2member pro form:
https://uywi.org/the-well/pro-forms/?s2-ssl=yes

shopp checkout:
http://uywi.org/shop/checkout/

I have it "working" right now because this is a live site.

Here's the problem...
The pro forms page works dandy. No problems there.

But we want to use PayPal Pro for our regular shop transactions so our users have a singular purchase experience. The problem is that I'm running into dead ends trying to get an SSL to properly work on the checkout page. If I use a plugin like WordPress HTTPS (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-https/) to force the SSL on that page (how I'd typically do it on other sites) than I get a recursive loop error. But if I use s2member's method of forcing the SSL I get a weird rewrite of the checkout URL which PayPal Pro/Shopp don't know how to handle... so the page just refreshes or tells me I have a header error.

Is there any way to disable the s2member SSL (easily) so I can use the plugin to manage both my pro forms page & my Shopp checkout page?

Or are there other options I'm not thinking of. It seems like .htaccess could swing this to rewrite the URLs for each of those pages?

Thanks for the help!

If you have a problem protecting the Shopp checkout page with the WordPress HTTPS plugin, that tells me there's probably something wrong with the Shopp plugin and SSL, not necessarily with Shopp and s2Member.

Regarding disabling the s2Member SSL: How did you enable s2Member SSL? By default, s2Member doesn't use SSL. You can force s2Member to enable/disable SSL by adding a Custom Field to any Post/Page with the name s2member_force_ssl and the value of yes/no.

If I use the HTTPS plugin to try to secure either the Shopp checkout page or the S2member Pro Forms page I get a browser error telling me that the page infinitely loops to itself.

Shouldn't I be able to use that plugin to secure both of those pages?

For now, I'm using the s2member_force_ssl to force my Pro Forms page. But I'd prefer to use the HTTPS plugin ideally.

Ideas?

I don't think that plugin is compatible with s2Member, from what other users have reported. Could you tell us why you prefer to use that plugin to force SSL in a page instead of s2Member custom field?
