[Solved] Share bar Stumble Upon will not load HTTPS

Recommended Posts

marshallsolutions

For the site https://marshallsirishpub.com I am running

Wordpress 4.9.4
Pagelines base theme 1.0.2
Pagelines Framework 2.5.0

The share bar specifically Stumble Upon is causing an error when checking SSL for HTTPS at whynopadlock.com.  Here is the errors shown:

A file with an insecure url of "http://cdn.stumble-upon.com/js/badge_su.js?v=20120613" was loaded on line: 1 of https://www.stumbleupon.com/badge/embed/2/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmarshallsirishpub.com%2F.

A file with an insecure url of "http://cdn.stumble-upon.com/css/badges_su.css?v=20120613" was loaded on line: 1 of https://www.stumbleupon.com/badge/embed/2/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmarshallsirishpub.com%2F.


Errors that are reported on line 1 are generally not part of the source code. This error may be caused by an external javascript file which is writing to the page, however we are unable to reliably detect these scripts in our automated test.
Please contact us using the "Need Help?" link below if you need assistance with resolving this error.

I contacted support at Really Simple SSL which is the plugin we use to convert the site to HTTPS via SSL.  They said I should contact you guys.  Here is what their support had to say via email:

the sharing bar seems to load the Stumbleupon script over http:// despite being trying to redirect it to https://. The cdn.stumbleupon doesn't seem to have an SSL certificate and therefore refuses to load over https://. I'd suggest to contact the developer of the sharing plugin, the Stumbleupon button can de designed in another way, without it trying to load a script over http://.

So it seems I need to modify some file in pagelines to make the stumble upon portion of the share bar to read https and not http.  If that's not possible then I need to remove stumble upon from the share bar.

Thanks.

Hi,

PageLines is not requesting any http:// page, the StumbleUpon website have scripts in http as you can see here: https://cl.ly/2N3f0u0m013M

They are requesting a CDN in HTTP so they are having errors, you will have Mixed content error (requesting http on https) if you request this website.

Sorry but I must disagree with you.  I figured it out on my own.  Your sharing bar is located in Pagelines, Site Options, Blog and :Posts.  By simply unchecking the Stumble Upon in the share bar social sharing buttons removed the error at whynopadlock.com.  So problem is fixed now.  Thanks.

if you are not requesting any more Stumble Upon, you will not have the Mixed content error as I told you in the last message, glad that you don't have the error anymore.

Sorry.  I guess i misunderstood your reply.  What I understood you to say was that Pagelines isn't pointing to anything http related to Stumble Upon.

In my original post, my question was as follows:

So it seems I need to modify some file in pagelines to make the stumble upon portion of the share bar to read https and not http.  If that's not possible then I need to remove stumble upon from the share bar.

Based on what I understood from your reply there was no way to modify it to not have mixed content.  So I chose to remove it from the share bar.

However, according to Really Simple SSL they have a plugin I guess that does work correctly with Stumble Upon for sharing according to an email I just received which is as follows:

good to hear the mixed content is gone, it should be possible to serve the Stumbleupon button without mixed content, for example our Really Simple SSL social plugin is able to do so. Mark at Really Simple SSL support.

So now I'm curious why Pagelines cannot do it without mixed content.

      I have an error on my wordpress site.
      The error is Platform 5 Connection Issue
      cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired. The Extension Engine can not be loaded. It just spins with the LOADING cog and nothing happens.
      It worked 2 days ago. What is the solution?

      Hi, even though I just got a SSL certificate, I can't get the green padlock to appear due to the following error:
      :A file with an insecure url of "http://yemoonyah.com/wp-content/plugins/pl-section-boxes/check.svg" was loaded via the javascript file: https://yemoonyah.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.12.4 on line 3. The insecure URL may not be directly contained in the script file and may exist elsewhere."
      I figured if I delete and re-install the plugin it might fix the problem but will my boxes on the website still be there? Or do I have to redesign everything all over again if I delete the plugin and then re-install it?

      I have an old PageLines site that I recently got working with SSL, but there are mixed content errors. There are two problems I've found. One is the search button icon called from forms.less:
      url(@{plRoot}/images/[email protected])
      The second is when PageLines loads FontAwesome from icons.less:

      url('@{iconFont}.eot?v=3.0.1');

      Where is similarly loads the font using http. Any idea why these are loading using http instead of https, and is there a simple way to fix these? I know I need to upgrade the theme, but it's a major project, so for the moment I'd just like to get these secured before taking on switching themes/frameworks.

      Good Evening/Afternoon or Morning, 
      I am running into a problem with CSS styling not applying inside of most browsers (Safari, Firefox) when I am logged in to wordpress, and all browsers that I have tested when I am logged off and the site has been made public (Chrome, Firefox and Safari).
      As a result, I have managed to identify the probable cause. It looks as though these browsers are refusing to render my sites compiled CSS file due to it being a HTTP URL rather than HTTPS.
      I have attempted to change this URL to HTTPS in my browser, however it brings back an ERROR: File not found page - https://www.shortfilmblog.com/wp-content/uploads/pagelines/compiled-css-core-1505847507.css
      What would you suggest in this regard? Would this be resolvable from your end?
      Happy to provide any further details required.

      Hi there,
      I've getting a recurring error:
      "Platform 5 Connection IssuecURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired"
      I can't get the Extension Engine to load. It just times out. Same happens on two different sites that I run (www.innerear.co.uk and www.tradtv.scot, which I'm currently rebuilding).
      I've tried disabling all plugins (apart from Platform 5) andI contacted my hosts and they aren't blocking any IP addresses. I've deactivated and reactivated the Platform 5 plugin and disconnected and reconnected my account.
      Is there an issue with the Pagelines SSL certificate or something else causing the connection issue and stopping the extension engine from loading (it just spins with the LOADING cog and nothing happens, regardless of how long I leave it).
      Any help much appreciated.
