How to Make Easy Columns Work with SSL

  • If you have a legacy site with Easy Columns and have migrated it to SSL you will find that Easy Columns no longer works.

    This is easy to fix.

    It is because the plugin code is not picking up the CSS. This is because it is using a very old method to determine the site’s URL to locate the directory for the CSS file.

    It is simply a matter of replacing WP_PLUGIN_URL with plugins_url() on line 44 which should now read…

    define(‘EZC_PLUGIN_URL’, plugins_url() . ‘/’ . EZC_PLUGIN_NAME);

    I hope this helps.

    Kind regards…Peter

  • Hey thanks for your contribution Peter, I was looking for a way to do that exactly that. Do you know if this plugin is Hook friendly? I dont think this plugin will release any new version but dont wanted to hack the plugin.

    Cheers!

    I’m not sure. The problem was caused by bad coding and no updates over the years. I agree that hacking plugins is not a good idea but I don’t think this will ever be updated. I only have it left on a few sites and have moved most stuff over to WP Bakery for columns.

    Thanks for replying. I think it will be a good idea to move to something else.

    Hello and thanks for the reply. Would you tell me where the file is that needs to be changed? Should I be looking for a .css file? In which directory would it be found? Is the file in the WordPress theme or in the plugins directory for Easy Columns? What would be the name of the file and extension? Thanks for any help here I know for the knowledgeable it’s trivial, but I’m not sure where to look. This is on a Linux server.
