# [Plugin: WordPress HTTPS] Cannot manage featured articles, link not using HTTPS

 * If an article is featured, clicking on the star will do nothing
    If an article
   is not featured, clicking on the star will light it up, but the article will 
   not be featured.
 * I’ve checked the AJAX request. It’s using http. I pasted the link into a new 
   tab and it worked.
 * Could be a JQuery issue as well, but it would be good to fix these links anyway.

 * I believe this is caused by having the ‘Disabled Automatic HTTPS’ option enabled.
   This bug will be fixed in the next version, which will be released today. 🙂
 * I’ve never actually used the functionality you’re describing, so if for some 
   reason the next update doesn’t fix it, I’ll do some more testing.

 * OK 🙂
    Some themes allow you to “feature” some article in a special space that
   way. It’s quite handy.

 * It’s broken again in 1.81.
    The request is made using http again, even though
   the URL is a backend one.

 * Sorry about that, I was changing back-end links to HTTP to fix links to the front-
   end. I think I’ll need to only change post links to HTTP to keep from breaking
   that. I’ll look into it. Thanks. 🙂
