we have many folks running over ssl with simple press…  but its more of a configuration of wp than sp…  wp has to tell us its over ssl…

see: 

https://make.wordpress.org/support/user-manual/web-publishing/problem-with-post-edit-buttonttps-for-wordpress/

and yes, if you update wp to be ssl, you should make sure forum – integration – page and permalinks is updated too so it picks up on the ssl…

Thanks for the reply.

we’ve updated the database –  but browsers still give warnings inside the greenbar. It seems there’s something with the image location. Can you please point me in the right direction? Perhaps an example site running over SSL? Or Is there a setting in Simple:Press where I need to tick off for SSL ?

Could you please take a look at our forum site and check why it still gives warnings? www.seoultouchup.com/forum

Thank you!

sorry, I dont know what you mean by ‘green bar’…  and what errors are you seeing?  I dont see any on your pages…  at least not visible…  

looking at the browser console I see some mixed content warnings regarding share this…   are you only using the simple press share this plugin (vice the wp one too)…  is this what you are referring to?

is that the only mixed content you see?  its possible share this is not detecting the https from wp and we have to manually cater for it…

but more info would help…

If my hunch is correct… perhaps you can try this patch for me…  open up wp-content/sp-resources/forum-plugins/share-this/library/sp-share-this-components.php and around line 89, find this line:

        $script.= '<script type="text/javascript" src="http://w.sharethis.com/button/buttons.js"></script>';

and change it to:

        $url = is_ssl() ? 'https://ws.sharethis.com/button/buttons.js' : 'http://w.sharethis.com/button/buttons.js';
        $script.= "<script type='text/javascript' src='$url'></script>";

and see if that helps….

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yes that was the cuplrit. Can you please include this in your next update? We have disabled the plugin for now because we can’t manually update this every time.

Appreciate your reply!

dont disable… leave my fix in there… when you update to a new version with the fix, you wont even notice….

thanks for the confirmation…

Hello !

Unfortunately, the fix wasn’t the right solution because with “https” the share images don’t show up

Maybe we can have other solutions?

Sadly Mr Papa is away now for a while and he is both the Share This and the SSL ‘go to’ man. I can certainly see what I can do but it will probably mean that first I will need to set up an SSL test site so I am afraid I have no instant answers. But I will put it on my list for working…
