Pinterest "Pin It" breaking SSL https:// Sites

    Hi! Awesome plugin and incredible support. Thank you all.

    Could’t find anything on this; the pin-it button is “breaking” my SSL connection because of the “https://” prefix somewhere along the line when I try to pin something on a woo commerce product page, for example.

    Might there be a way to force all Pinterest links automatically to https:// for SSL connections so images don’t register as dangerous content?

    Thanks again!

    Hi there,

    Thanks for the appreciation ??
    We are unable to reproduce the issue at our end. Would you let us know the webpage url where you are facing the issue, so that we can help you out?

    Sure! I’ve narrowed the trouble down to pages/posts where there is a YouTube embed, but I’m using https:// YouTube links, so I can’t think of where the exact problem is…

    It is not related to our plugin.
    Some other functionality is loading following Javascript at line number 277 in the HTML source of the webpage, which is causing the issue:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http'.$this->https.'://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js"></script>

    I’m sorry for the confusion! That was me, trying to fix the problem.

    I’ve removed the Javascript line and tried again with no luck.

    Please, check the same link again: https://www.johnpaulospina.com/shop/candy-crush-doin-it-digital-download/

    As you can see the Javascript error which was there in the browser console due to the Javascript loading you just removed, is not there now.
    Following warnings are appearing when using Pinterest button which are because of the non-ssl url of the images at your website:

    Mixed Content: The page at 'https://www.johnpaulospina.com/shop/candy-crush-doin-it-digital-download/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image 'https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QGCkkYLZnyg/hqdefault.jpg'. This content should also be served over HTTPS.

    Non-ssl image is:

    Well, I’ve been trying to investigate but haven’t come up with too much:

    A different plugin had a similar issue with a user, maybe there’s something there: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/ssl-sharaholic-conflict?replies=7

    It seems it’s a YouTube image caching thing, where the YT automatic image caching site “ytimg” is using http.

    Maybe there’s a way to force https there but I haven’t found it yet.

    I will mark this as resolved and promise to come back if I solve this.

    If you have any ideas, I’d really appreciate it, thanks so much!

    You would like to clear the cache then, if there is any such option in that plugin. You should try posting at their support forum.
