Hi Pete,

My apologies for the long delay in my reply (been a very busy few months). Happy to change my review for you, but would appreciate any further help to resolve this.

Looking into it I discoverd a post by Paul Irish on “The Protocol-relative URL” <https://www.paulirish.com/2010/the-protocol-relative-url/&gt; (the blog’s theme was built on the HTML5 Boilerplate) as an explanation to the missing http’s.

It appears that Amazon links are also having their http removed. I don’t know if it because of the theme or not. They are embedded in an iframe and I wonder if that is a factor. I tried removing them from the wordpress widget and embedding straight in the sidebar.php, but it had no effect.

Not sure what to do next!

Thanks, Rich.

Hi Pete,
Thanks for keeping up the investigation for me.

Viewing the page source with FireBug I see the following;

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/161655164X/arofthga-21" title="The Art Of The Last Of Us">Hard-cover</a>
<img width="1" border="0" height="1" src="//ir-uk.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=arofthga-21&l=as2&o=2&a=161655164X" alt="" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;">

So the http appears on the href, but not in the img tag. It also appears as if the widgets iframe has it’s http removed. I know you don’t support the widgets, but perhaps it’s .htaccess issue? I shall look into it and post back any results.

Thanks again for you help.

There are image/text links at the foot of each article, and in the following article there are also text links in the 3rd paragraph.

I’m fairly cetain I’ve followed the instructions accurately, but I would be delighted if you could get it working for me.

The blog is https://art-of-the-game.com/

Thanks for your time,
Rich.
