Lightbox Ultimate – SSL Compatibility

[webfireworx]

Ok so i have just had an SSL Certificate installed to my website with no problems.

In mozilla firefox my secure pages now show a blue browser bar when you visit.

In google chrome my secure pages now show a green padlock followed by a green https when you visit.

Safari doesnt change anything apart from having https instead of http on my secure pages.

However the problem i am having is, when i activate WP Lightbox Ultimate, mozilla firefox no longer shows a blue browser bar on my secure pages, and google chrome doesnt show a green padlock and https, it shows a caution sign on the padlock, and when clicked it says “the page is secure however, there a resources on the page which are not secure”, which would have to be the lightbox plugin.

I have disabled all my plugins and tested the lightbox plugin alone and the same still happens, right now i have disabled the lightbox plugin and everything is as it should be with no issues at all.

I have eMember and eStore plugins which work just fine, its only Lightbox plugin that seems to have a problem, possibly with security.

Can you update the plugin to fix the issue or is there something i can do to fix it?

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks, carl

Hi, could you post a link to the page where you are having this issue?

Please also keep the Lightbox Ultimate plugin activated for now So I can see which element is making it insecure.

I seem to have fixed the problem, although im still not entirely sure what was causing it.

Basically my frontpage was a static page with blog posts, one of my posts shown the full post content on the frontpage, in the post content i was using the lightbox plugin shortcode for the thumbnail video link which was when i was getting the problem.

After removing the post everything worked just fine, so i assumed it was the shortcode or embed code for the video within the shortcode and not actually the plugin itself, but the strange thing was, i decided not to use a static page but instead use the wordpress default frontpage display which displays latest posts only.

After changing to the default frontpage i added the same post with the shortcode for the thumbnail video link in and shown the post content on the frontpage, i expected the same problem but this time everything was perfect, which confused me.

So i could only assume the shortcodes or embed codes within the shortcodes are conflicting with a static page when used as a frontpage, but only when its a secure frontpage.

I cant supply a link anymore to outline the problem as since i removed the secure static frontpage, wordpress no longer allows me to use a static page as a frontpage if its secure, therefore i dont have a problem with it anymore.

Sorry if ive not explained very well, its the best way i can describe it as its a little confusing, but my problem is solved none the less, you just might want to use this as a small heads up for now.

Thanks for being patient and taking the time to read,

Carl

You’re welcome.

The plugin is not including any external script that might be insecure. But when you use a shortcode please make sure that the parameter (for example: link, source) that requires a full URL have https in it. Having a link containing http in the page could be another reason for this issue.

Anyway, I’m glad that the issue is solved.
