SSL Support

Where it works, it will be used. ??

Hi Marcelismus,

I checked everything on my blog https://miApple.me.
But whenever I got a WP Appbox link inside in a post, it is not served as https. There’s no exemption: WP Appbox – no https.

For example:
https://miapple.me/review-goodreader-4-new-universal-app-price-pdf-page-management/

Any other page is served on https… Any tips?

Cheers,

Appbox links to https://itunes.apple.com/de/app/goodreader-4… ?

Hi Marcelismus,

thanks for your answer. I know that Appbox links to https://…. ??

However, it doesn’t work.

For example, I substituted the WP Appbox short code on this post (https://miapple.me/plex-on-apple-tv-without-plexconnect-or-jailbreak-via-airplay/) by the original Appstore Badge (PHG) and the post is https-secure. If I turn it back, the post isn’t https-secure anymore.

Therefore, the reason must be somewhere in WP Appbox….

Maybe a hint for you: I got the similar Problem with Polldaddy embeded. Whenever I used the short code [polldaddy…] the post wasn’t https-secure. If I substitute it by the ‘normal’ code of the Pollydaddy link, it is.

Any tips?

Cheers,

Apple for example didn’t use SSL for the images, maybe this? ??

Hi Marcelismus,

You’re right: The embeded pictures a from non-https sites. I assume that you cannot find any work-around to overcome this?

If not, then I think the only way for my site to be completely https-secure is to drop WP Appbox….

Nope – I tried to use https:// instead of https://, but Apple f.e. didn’t support it right now.

What about a ‘https-Option’ in WP Appbox? Meaning an option to select that the specific app pic which are non-https are substituted by, e.g., the ‘Download App Store’ pic. Then https blog Could continue to use WP Appbox (With the disadvantage of missing specific app icons).

It’s an issue with QR code. If you disable it, it will work. May be plugin author will fix it in the next update. Thanks

You need to change:
https://chart.apis.google.com/chart
to
https://chart.googleapis.com/chart

Thanks.

Fix:
Open wp-content/plugins/wp-appbox/inc/createoutput.class.php.

Line 36
$url = 'https://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=qr&chl='.$url.'&chs='.$size.'x'.$size.'&chld='.$EC_level.'|'.$margin;
to
$url = 'https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=qr&chl='.$url.'&chs='.$size.'x'.$size.'&chld='.$EC_level.'|'.$margin;

Fixed!

@marcelismus, can you please put this into the next release? Thanks!!

Forgot the https in my last post, change to:
$url = 'https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=qr&chl='.$url.'&chs='.$size.'x'.$size.'&chld='.$EC_level.'|'.$margin;

Yep. ??

Okay, I’ll mark this as resolved on release.
BTW: Apple still has no ssl-link for their images? I checked yesterday but didn’t find any secured link. ??

Meaning: Even I-Tunes doesn’t have a padlock, e.g.: https://itunes.apple.com/de/app/tankenapp-von-t-online.de/id627468788

Nope, Apple didn’t use SSL for their images. I have added the Google Proxy for Images in the upcoming version, but a few weeks ago, Google has stopped this for websites, which aren’t using the PageSpeed-Module on their webserver… :-/
