[Plugin: WordPress HTTPS] Partial Encryption Error Issues! HELP

Hey Nate,

The problem is actually the method the images are being loaded into your page. There is a lot of JavaScript that loads those images. Currently, my plugin has issues finding these and fixing them. Mostly, because the plugin is content aware in that it won’t fix things without verifying that they need to be fixed. Due to the nature of JavaScript, there’s no sure-fire way to fix them. But, after checking out your site, I think I have an idea. I’m going to do some modifications to the plugin and push out the next version next week. I’ll post here when it’s updated, and we can go from there.

Thanks for downloading!
Mike

Hi Mike,

I’d also like to say thanx for the great plugin. I was runing my site 100% SSL but but that is obviously not an optimal solution when only a few pages need it….

In any event, I think I have a similar problem, I have a plugin (Simple-Real-Estate-Pack) that is adding some javascript to the header, and it seems that these are causing my page to show up as ‘partially secure’

The problem seems to be here:

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
	tb_pathToImage = "https://www.sherissehume.com/wp-includes/js/thickbox/loadingAnimation.gif";tb_closeImage = "https://www.sherissehume.com/wp-includes/js/thickbox/tb-close.png";</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
	var srp_url = "https://www.sherissehume.com/wp-content/plugins/simple-real-estate-pack-4";
	var srp_wp_admin = "https://www.sherissehume.com/wp-admin";
//]]>
</script>

the page is:
https://www.sherissehume.com/get-started/quick-mortgageapplication/

If I switch the WP home/site url to https:// then everything is fine… so I only presume they are using bloginfo() or something similar to pull the URL.

I’ve played with the options of the plugin but can’t seem to find the sweet spot.

Any thoughts on how to tweak that?

Thanx again!

Hi,
Just to be more specific, it seems the plugin uses:

get_option('siteurl')

to pull the path info – this then ends up as https:// in the

<script>

tag in the header…

I would imagine that this is used in many places?? so I’m a bit unsure why it’s getting through? [script] tag maybe??

Hi Again,

Ok, so with some more digging/reading of your forum I seem to have managed to sort it out…

For the record, the magic post is here

I just wanted to add something in regards to the information posted in the codex here where (I presume) you talk about SSL compatibility (backwards compatibility code),

I originally couldn’t get it to work with the example code as is and had to change one line from:

$wp_content_url = get_option( 'siteurl' );

to:

$wp_content_url = site_url();

This properly returned the correct protocol (HTTPS).

It also worked with:
$wp_content_url = get_bloginfo('url');

I know there are some subtle differences between these various methods to return the url, but unfortunately, I’m not well versed enough to understand the subtleties (only what works!! ;o)

In any event, I thought I’d pass that along…
