Title: not loading images via https Last modified: August 22, 2017 --- # not loading images via https * [bathugeo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bathugeo/) * (@bathugeo) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-loading-images-via-https-2/) * Hi, this is a repost of this topic [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-loading-images-via-https/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-loading-images-via-https/) * I am getting the same problem of these graphics loading by http rather than https. twitter-bird-16×16.png reply.png retweet.png favorite.png * The site /wp-admin/options-general.php uses https:// and everything else on the page loads ok via https. I’ve also done a search and replace on the whole site to remove any reference to http. * I’ve tried disabling and re-enabling and uninstalling and re-installing. Both work for a while but after a few hours the plug-in goes back to using http. I’ve disabled the plug-in for now but happy to put back if it helps you debug. * I love the plug-in BTW. It is so much better than the default WP or Avada ones. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fnot-loading-images-via-https-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-loading-images-via-https-2/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-loading-images-via-https-2/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Martin Tod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mpntod/) * (@mpntod) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-loading-images-via-https-2/#post-9483427) * I don’t really have a different answer to [last time](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-loading-images-via-https/#post-8657421)! * Are you using a shortcode or a widget?

It’s added as a widget. * At the moment it is working in https. As I said, previously this has been fine for a day or so but then seems to go back to using http.

I usually test it from whynopadlock.com so I’m not confusing myself with cached pages or my own log in. I’ve just tested it again and it’s showing the rotating tweets images as not being https. * Plugin Author [Martin Tod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mpntod/) * (@mpntod) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-loading-images-via-https-2/#post-9492205) * Just tried it again from a 3rd browser!

Tweeting sometimes seems to break the padlock (although as the problem is intermittent, I’m not sure about that). The only thing that seems to work reliably (for a while) is removing the widget then re-adding it. Yes, I do have WP Super Cache installed but I have tried deleting the cache to no effect. I have done a search and replace on the whole site to remove any reference to http:// Any other ideas? I’m happy to give you access to the site if that would help?
