 * I have a wordpress dev site in a sub-domain of the real site while it is being
   developed. My ssl cert is for the main domain.
 * I installed and activated wordpress https plugin in the dev site. The header 
   graphic on the dev site disappeared. In Firebug I could see that the css is trying
   to load the header graphic as https. I see that’s the problem.
 * After the site is developed I will promote it to the main domain so then https
   should work, but is there any workaround to be able to keep the plugin activated
   while under development in the subdomain and still display all the graphics normally?

 * Hey penmaster91604,
 * Is the graphic being changed to HTTPS while you’re viewing the page over HTTP?
 * Thanks,

 * Thanks, Mike … is there a way for me to send you a PM? The dev site requires 
   credentials for access.

 * Mike, I just encountered this issue with a site im managing as well, but on the
   actual live site not a dev. The header and background images, as well as some
   others in other pages are coming in with HTTPS:// on them causing them to not
   show up.
 * Suggestions?

 * Hey Bozac,
 * Thanks to a kind user I found a bug in the plugin and got it fixed. Please uninstall
   the plugin and download it again from the Dashboard. I hotfixed it into 3.0.3.
 * Thanks,
    Mike

   the site should be ready to launch.
