 * My web browser source inspector shows many errors, saying, “_Blocked a frame 
   with origin “[https://maps.google.com&#8221](https://maps.google.com&#8221); 
   from accessing a frame with origin “[http://mysite.com&#8221](http://mysite.com&#8221);.
   The frame requesting access has a protocol of “https”, the frame being accessed
   has a protocol of “http”. Protocols must match._“

 * Well that doesn’t help me at all. I realise that you are not “are not obligated[
   sic] to do anything” but either you’ve come up against this problem before, or
   you don’t recognise it.

 * Unfortunately we do not have a crystal ball. What version of WP are you using?
   What version of the plugin? Is your site on HTTPS? What browser debugger displays
   the errors? List goes on.
 * Yes we’ve seen that error a number of times, as with any other error users post
   here. But problems that borderline “it’s not working” are not something we can
   fix. So unless you can provide the URL of your site I guess we’ll leave this 
   one on “we’re not obligated to do anything”.

 * 3.8
    1.30 No Safari debugger
 * So if you’ve seen the error a number of times – **what kind of things cause it**?
 * Or do you need my inside leg measurement first?

 * Those errors come and go as Google makes changes to their cross-origin-requests
   domain rules. It affects YouTube, Google Maps and any other iframe based embedded
   code (API based calls are not affected, but our plugin uses iframes for the bigger
   maps). There’s no real solution for the problem but since it’s only manifested
   through the debugger …. I’ll be so bold to call it a “problem”.
    Once we switch
   to API for the larger map we won’t be seeing any cross-domain or protocol mismatch
   issues.
