    Hi,

    I love the plugin – makes it so easy to display our adoptable animals! However, I just took our site live and enabled SSL using the ReallySimpleSSL plugin. When I did that, none of the photos for the animals displayed. Do you know how I can get around this? I have temporarily turned off the replace mixed content so the photos are showing but that’s not really a solution. My website is dcspca.org.

    Thanks for your help!

    The photos are hosted at Petfinder and it doesn’t look like petfinder has an SSL cert for the site the photos come from. For example, this is one of your dogs: photos.petfinder.com/photos/pets/34522486/1/?bust=1456183973&width=300&-pn.jpg

    If I try to go to https://photos.petfinder.com/photos/pets/34522486/1/?bust=1456183973&width=300&-pn.jpg I get an error about the security certificate not matching.

    Since the images are served from petfinder and not your own site with your SSL cert, I think your best bet would be to set your feed pages to not be https – unless you want to write a petfinder plugin that caches the images on your own server so you can serve them through your own URL. ??

    Thanks so much for the quick response. Unfortunately, writing any kind of a plug in is waaaay beyond my capabilities ??

    I’m moving the Santa Barbara Humane Society from http to https currently, and have run into this same issue. Do you know of a way to exclude pages from https? I was planning on forcing https on all page using a Cloudflare Page Rule, but this issue of broken Petfinder images under https is a show-stopper.
    Thanks much for your time, and for the great plugin!

    Petfinder has told me that they are working on updating their API to work with SSL, however, could not offer an ETA on the new API.

    I was told I could ‘consider translating the URL’s that the API returns to use the photo URL’s that the site uses’ but they didn’t provide any help as to how to do that. I’m now in an email exchange with their development team to understand that theory and if I can develop a fix I will post it here.
