I’m not sure if there’s going to be an easy way to make it not do that. I’ll have to play around with the code. * Thanks, Mike * Thread Starter [Sulaiman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sulaimank/) * (@sulaimank) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-media-upload-http-error-using-wordpress-https-301/#post-2697858) * You mean i need to change the front-end url to https? Since now i’m not using HTTPS for front-end i’m only using HTTPS on the Administrator area… Like the one on WordPress.com… let me example you clearly… * On the 2.0.4 is very similar to WordPress.com’s SSL you see on the media file that shows “File URL” you can see when you upload an image you will see it’s http (for the image) and the admin area is HTTPS…. Here are the differences from 2.0.4 and 3.0.2 plus compared with wordpress.com * This one [http://f.cl.ly/items/271j2K3y1s3d2C3e270n/Voila_Capture87.png](http://f.cl.ly/items/271j2K3y1s3d2C3e270n/Voila_Capture87.png) is from WordPress HTTPS 2.0.4 * This one [http://f.cl.ly/items/0E0O0I0031270Q3b1h3k/Screen%20Shot%202012-04-22%20at%201.05.44.png](http://f.cl.ly/items/0E0O0I0031270Q3b1h3k/Screen%20Shot%202012-04-22%20at%201.05.44.png) is the latest WordPress HTTPS 3.0.2 * This one is WordPress.com [http://f.cl.ly/items/3D0p2i3w421m3f002I3L/Screen%20Shot%202012-04-22%20at%201.05.29.png](http://f.cl.ly/items/3D0p2i3w421m3f002I3L/Screen%20Shot%202012-04-22%20at%201.05.29.png) * I hope above links of images will be helpful for you to understand… I’ve look forward on your reply… * Thanks * Plugin Author [mvied](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvied/) * (@mvied) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-media-upload-http-error-using-wordpress-https-301/#post-2697860) * Hey Sulaiman, * No, when you reference the image in a post or something, use the HTTP Url. Even if a file does load over HTTPS, it doesn’t break anything. Try it out and if the images load over HTTPS on the front-end on non-HTTPS pages, I can easily make the plugin auto-correct that. * Thanks, Mike * Thread Starter [Sulaiman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sulaimank/) * (@sulaimank) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-media-upload-http-error-using-wordpress-https-301/#post-2697863) * How could you make the auto-correct? like the one on 2.0.4 is better because the image loads as http on non-https pages… as i’m not using SSL on front-end due to using CDN so my CDN provider doesn’t offer SSL support for my package that’s why i had secured SSL for admin area to protect… Please let me know how could i fix the File URL? If you needed the login details please provide me the email address so i can send you one test version… * Thanks * Sulaiman. * Plugin Author [mvied](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvied/) * (@mvied) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-media-upload-http-error-using-wordpress-https-301/#post-2697865) * Hey Sulaiman, * Where and how are you using the files? Just because the URL is secure in the Media Library doesn’t mean that’s how you have to use it. * Thanks, Mike * Thread Starter [Sulaiman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sulaimank/) * (@sulaimank) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-media-upload-http-error-using-wordpress-https-301/#post-2697867) * Hi Mike, * I’m using the wordpress default placed path but the images, css and scripts are served to the CDN… But i’m worried if the SSL expired i will lost all the images that are secured with HTTPS by the WordPress HTTPS plugin which changes the path to HTTPS on upload so it would be difficult to change all the url back to http… * Let me know if you could make me that changes so i can provide you the login detail for wordpress. * Plugin Author [mvied](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvied/) * (@mvied) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-media-upload-http-error-using-wordpress-https-301/#post-2697869) * Hey Sulaiman, * The path show in the Media Library isn’t important. The only reason it appears secure is because all the references to the current site are being filtered in the admin panel. * All of the images can still be used with their HTTP path. Just make sure that when you add images to pages that you make the paths HTTP. But, like I said, I can make the plugin do that if that’s all you’re asking for. That’s easy. * Thanks, Mike * Thread Starter [Sulaiman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sulaimank/) * (@sulaimank) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-media-upload-http-error-using-wordpress-https-301/#post-2697870) * Alright sure… I’d ask for it 🙂 could you provide me the email then you can customise the plugin like the above mentioned one… * Plugin Author [mvied](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvied/) * (@mvied) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-media-upload-http-error-using-wordpress-https-301/#post-2697871) * Hey Sulaiman, * Overwrite your copy of WordPress HTTPS with this copy hosted on [github](https://github.com/Mvied/wordpress-https/zipball/master).
