Hummingbird converting relative URL to non-https

Hi @lattice3,

Trust you are doing good.

I would like to bring to your notice that the Hummingbird files are loaded with a secure URL on the site. The issue here is that a font URL in your theme’s CSS file is being loaded in a non-SSL version. Screenshot: https://ibb.co/6rn6gyn

Can you please check if the home and site URL is configured with SSL in General settings? If yes, please clear all the cache and re-check files in Asset Optimization and check how it goes. Reff: https://ibb.co/xXGGDmZ

I hope that helps, please feel free to get back to us if you need any further clarification on this.

Kind Regards,
Nebu John

Yes, the site is configured with SSL in the WordPress General settings. I have cleared all caches and the issue is still present. Is there a Hummingbird SSL setting that I’m not aware of?

Can you provide the URL to the css file that you took the first screenshot from?

What I’m seeing is that the stars.woff2 font in my theme’s CSS file is being loaded with a relative URL (https://snpy.in/BaE9ug). My themes css file can be found here:

https://constructioncoverage.com/wp-content/themes/blocksy/static/bundle/main.min.css

It is the hummingbird combined CSS file that appears to be converting the relative URL to a static URL that points to the non-SSL version (https://snpy.in/lTErb6). The combined humminbird css file can be found here:

Hi @lattice3

Thank you for the information

If the plugin doesn’t append the site URL to the combined file it will break the style as the ../ would look on the wrong directory.

It doesn’t require any extra configuration if the HTTPS is configured in the WordPress settings.

Just in case any URL still not updated on the database, can you please try the really simple SSL plugin https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/really-simple-ssl/ and check if makes any difference?

Let us know the result you got.

Our site is hosted on wordpress.com, and Really Simple SSL is an incompatible plugin (we can’t download/install it). All wordpress.com sites have SSL by default. See below:

https://wordpress.com/support/incompatible-plugins/

Please advise on next steps.

Hi @lattice3

In this case could you please run the better search and replace it?

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/better-search-replace/

Search for https://constructioncoverage.com/ replace to https://constructioncoverage.com/

Please, run a dry run first so it won’t update the tables, but it returns how many need to be updated.

In case you have tables that need to be updated make sure to always have a backup first.

Let us know the result you got.

Hi Patrick,

I’m seeing multiple instances of non-SSL URLs all within WPHB Minify Groups. When I dig into each case further, it’s all the same issue. The original css file has a relative URL (such as image:url(../modules/carousel/images/carousel-sprite-2x.png?5)), and in the minified file it is converted to a non-SSL URL.

My concern is that if I just “find and replace” these, the issue is going to pop up again once Hummingbird rebuilds the files.

Hi @lattice3

Yes, you are correct,

We would be more looking for other tables rather than the minify group.

Could you please send me an email to [email protected] using this template:
