# Not secure!

 * I have been trialling this plugin since being advised to move away from “share
   and follow”. I’m also trying to ensure browsers are completely happy that my 
   site is secure by adding a proper SSL certificate etc.
 * I am not an expert, but it seems that Super Socializer embeds a lot of “[http://&#8221](http://&#8221);
   links – the heateor website itself is not https.
 * Is this going to be sorted? Or can I fix it somehow?

 * Sorry, we are not sure what you are talking about. Who advised you to move away
   from “share and follow” and which “share and follow”? Our plugin’s?

 * `https` is necessary if your website have login system or it accepts credit card
   information from users. Our support website has neither of this required. That’s
   why we have kept it `http`. And we are sure this won’t cause any trouble to your
   website. Let us know any specific issue you are facing.

 * “Share and Follow” was a plugin that has been withdrawn from WordPress due to
   unfixed security vulnerabilities; I have been trialling yours as an alternative.
 * My website is secured using https. Of course the website needs login – its WordPress!!
   Google Chrome, for example, expects https to get the green “secure” icon. Any
   link within the website that is then not https will not give the “secured” icon.
   You get an “i”.
 * It is your plugin that does this due to “hidden” links to non-https websites.
 * You can look at my development/test website and inspect the source to see what
   I mean.

 * We were talking about our support website because you mentioned – “the heateor
   website itself is not https”
 * > It is your plugin that does this due to “hidden” links to non-https websites
 * See the screenshot of your website below:
     The highlighted message in the browser
   console is the only message regarding insecure content and that is due to an 
   image at your webpage being loaded over “http” which does not belong to our plugin.
 * > Oh – and google “google https” to see what I mean
 * We know this very well and we deal with this everyday.

 * OK…am now confused as only saw this after activating your plugin. I was able 
   to “prove” this by deactivating and reactivating…but now it appears to behave
   whatever I do. I will investigate further and report back!

 * The insecure content url (url of the image) is clearly of your website’s `Upload`
   folder. It’s not related to our plugin.

 * I cannot explain this, but I 100% accept it is not your plugin – apologies.
 * I have not changed the logo nor any other of the trial/dev site WordPress settings
   yet for some reason it decided to serve up some links as non https. This has 
   now stopped happening so who knows what I did.
 * Sorry to have troubled you.
