If you post a hyperlink using the link button then it matters not if it’s http or https as it’s just a reference on the page that does not download anything but if you use the img button then if your site is SSL and the image comes from a source that’s not then the certificate throws warnings.
I don’t want to change all links to https as that overkill so I’m looking for the best way to just change links using the <img/> tag to https as using this does not work:
<img src="i.imgur.com/V6sg3f0.png" alt="" />
but does outside of WordPress ie in MYBB that is how you avoid certificate issues.
Hi Robin, you know images from my own site are all SSL so WordPress works in this instance but its with BBPress when the user makes a post and uses the insert image button to link an image from another site that the problems occour ie:
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/V6sg3f0.png" alt="" />
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/V6sg3f0.png" alt="" />
<img src="i.imgur.com/V6sg3f0.png" alt="" />
but this site here is changing the http to https in all links so the demonstration is a bit of a fail 🙂
But a non https url will not break a certificate as that only happens if the link is embedding something in the post.
Hi, you know the sites SSL only and the browser warnings for non SSL images are overkill and off putting so I would rather the site have the green padlock all the time and have the users find a decent image host than show all images but have browser warnings.
Usually removing the http:// altogether works and the browser will show the green padlock for non SSL images but WordPress doesn’t seem to like it when you do that and wont show any image.
no but just tested that and it has no effect.
Private forum, was looking at the css but can’t figure it out as the source goes like this:
<div id="bbpress-forums">
<div class="bbp-breadcrumb">
for the [bbp-forum-index] then further down:
<div id="bbpress-forums">
<div class="bbp-breadcrumb">
for [bbp-topic-index] so hiding <div class=”bbp-breadcrumb”> would hide both?
