LOL. Thanks James, already done that and they threw it back at me saying it was a problem w/ my server which I have since then disproved. The error actually pointed me directly to admin-ajax.php which....led me to believe it was a Wordpress issue. Subsequently, after digging around and doing a complete blank install, I determined the issues stemmed from when I purged the database of the http in favor of the https.
What do ya think?
