Nope. Same error here, even tried uploading the pugin manually via FTP. But still no luck. ??

Must be changes in 3.5 that broke something

@jeff Bowen

Yay, thanks for the heads up ??

I see, perhaps v 1.7 and/or the paid version do use different server that happens to have its cert correctly installed.

I inspected which files are loaded from s1.wordpress.com, and these are what I got:

A hackish fix can be done by modifying the plugin php file by replacing those “s1.wordpress.com” with your own server URL. of course you need to mirror those files first and make sure your https config is working.

Other than s1.wordpress.com, there are also s0.wordpress.com, s1.wp.com and whatnot. All of them have correct certificates. s1.wordpress.com is the culprit.

I’d say the best solution is if the devs can set a cert with the correct CN on s1.wordpress.com.

I think this is related to wordpress.com server misconfig instead of Jetpack bug.

The cert used in s1.wordpress.com has mismatched hostname and the result is ugly SSL warning (My admin area is SSL-enforced).
Furthermoe, browsers will treat https pages as if they have mixed content.

That’s only part of the problem. Most browsers (IE, Fx, Opera) won’t correctly load all js files because of the partially insecure contents. In my case, it’s resulting in broken editor (clicking “updates” doesn’t work).

This is a dealbreaker. ??

Yay, I’m glad to hear that. ??

Thanks for taking your time to answer my question
Resolved.

Eureka!

Okey-Dokey, I think I’ve found the solution, after a quick look into ckeditor.utils.js I was able to find the right JavaScript functions:

ckeditorOn(); and
ckeditorOff();

Their names are quite self-explanatory, no?

Both functions will adjust text-area visibility accordingly, so there is no more extra step required. Just put it as value of any event handler (i.e onClick) and voila! CKeditor is toggled gracefully with plain text area.

It’s dead simple to use, my thanks goes to developer. ??

(I actually went through CK documentations and successfully tried to (re)create those functions from scratch! ultimately only to find they’re already provided from the start. *facepalm* me
