Update…

Trying to dig in to this a bit more and it appears that CF7 is doing everything correctly (or as expected).

If I add an echo statement to the wpcf7_ajax_loader function the correct protocol is being display/used (i.e., the URL is using HTTPS).

function wpcf7_ajax_loader() {
        $url = wpcf7_plugin_url( 'images/ajax-loader.gif' );

        if ( is_ssl() && 'http:' == substr( $url, 0, 5 ) )
                $url = 'https:' . substr( $url, 5 );
        echo $url; exit;
        return apply_filters( 'wpcf7_ajax_loader', $url );
}

So I thought maybe it was the WordPress HTTPS plugin or my theme that was rewriting the URL thus I disabled the plugin (and all others too) and switched my theme to Twenty Twelve but I still get this error in Chrome’s console:

The page at 'https://domain.com/contact-us/' was loaded over HTTPS, but displayed insecure content from 'https://domain.com/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/images/ajax-loader.gif': this content should also be loaded over HTTPS.

To summarize, the only plugin running is this one CF7 and I have a valid SSL cert installed. Again it works everywhere just fine except where there is a CF7 form.

Please advise.

I too am getting this error.

The JSON string looks great:

{"aiowps_remove_wp_generator_meta_info":"1","aiowps_prevent_hotlinking":"1","aiowps_enable_login_lockdown":"1",...

There are no errors in my server’s error log.

Is there another way to get these settings integrated? Perhaps a plain text copy and paste, a file upload that doesn’t use the default media uploader, or even a MySQL query string that can be copied and pasted into MyPHPAdmin. Please advise.

UPDATE: I was able to successfully import my settings by…

1. uploading my aiowps_{…}.txt file to the server via ftp
2. manually entering the full URL path in the input field (e.g., https://mywebsite.com/aiowps_{…}.txt)
3. pressing the import button

Therefore, I think the issue might be with the default wordpress media upload tool…thus please consider the alternatives stated above for future releases.

Hi @david,

I didn’t have time to figure our what the actual issue was so I just installed a different plugin. I can tell you it was the most recent version (free install) at the time of my original post. Nonetheless, thank you though for the follow up, it’s rare to see such great customer service.
