HTTP or HTTPS

    On Twitter this plugin is inserting an “https” in front of some URLs, but most often only “http”. The “s” returns an error message when clicking the link.

    I cannot figure out (predict) which tweets receive this SSL prefix and which don’t. It happens, say every 10 tweets, sometimes several in a row.

    I have now turned off the URL shortener in the plugin to see if that helps. Any other suggestions?

    Hello,

    Thank you for reporting this, could you possibly send us a link to see this example “live” ?

    You can contact us privately on themeisle.com if you do not wish to make the link public here.

    Kind regards,
    Marius

    Hey,

    I’ve been looking into it, we are using WP get_permalink() function to get the link that’s being shared.
    Are you using a plugin or something that uses SSL certificates? Because there might be a problem there.

    We could force the plugin to pick http everytime, but that wouldn’t be a good solution for people using https on their website.

    I have been looking into some of the links posted by “Revive Old Post” on Twitter. There seems to be no structure in which posts receives the http or the https prefix. In other words: Apparently random.

    I made a test: One post was given the SSL prefix by you. When I posted the same tweet two days later, it came without.
    My tweet: https://twitter.com/sandaltweet/status/600609258665803776
    Your tweet: https://twitter.com/sandaltweet/status/599730032467124224

    No posts have permalinks with https (secure sockets layer). I’m using plugins but I can’t think of any that add SSL certificates to a link.

    Are there any plugins that have been known to conflict with your plugin?

    Hello,

    No, we are not aware of any plugin that could conflict with ours, especially for this kind of problem.

    For generating the permalink we are using the wordpress get_permalink function, nothing fancy that could produce this. Your problem is that for some posts the permalink is returning secures links and for some it isnt. The result of get_permalink is not altered by us.

    Let me know if we can help you with something else.

    Thank you !
