    Hi there!

    First, I just want to say that your plugin is amazing and I am forever grateful for how flawlessly it’s been working on our sites! However, after the most recent update, one of our sites is suddenly loading mixed content on the home page. There is an image slider and for whatever reason, those images are not loading over HTTPS, despite the files all being HTTPS, the site being set to HTTPS and the Really Simple SSL plugin setup properly.

    We had this issue on that same page as well before turning on your plugin a long time ago. Your plugin fixed it and had been working perfectly all this time since.

    Did you change anything in the last update that might have caused this? We literally have never had a mixed content warning after adding your plugin to any site ever until today.

    Thank you and please keep up the amazing work!

    Hi,

    There has been a change which possibly could cause this: the mixed fixer is now hooked to the template_redirect hook instead of the init hook.

    The init hook fires on all requests, which in some cases caused issues with for example chunked downloads and json requests.

    I suspect in your case the change to the template_redirect hook somehow caused a conflict with another plugin, as a result the mixed content fixer doesn’t fire.

    I have built in a way to keep using the init hook by using the constant
    define( ‘RSSSL_CONTENT_FIXER_ON_INIT’, ‘true’ );
    to your wp-config.php.

    Let me know if that helps!

    Wow! Thank you for your amazingly fast response!

    That would be my guess as well. I’m not very technical, but I do know that init is used somewhere haha.

    I’m not very confident in doing modification to files though (that’s why I’m so grateful for your plugin! haha). Is there a way that you think you can add this as an option in the next update? I’m sure I’m not the only person who has run into this, so it would be awesome to just have a checkbox on the settings page like “Use init hook instead of template_redirect”.

    This way, for us non-technical content creators, it would be a super simple issue to fix ??

    Thank you again for your great plugin and obviously great support as well!

    Yes, that’s a good idea I think, I will add this in the next update. But to fix your issue in the short term, you could try this, and it would give me a confirmation that this actually resolves the issue.

    If you have access to ftp, it’s very easy. The wp-config.php is in your webroot.
