Please replace the ??? with your data!


[desc]:I have a ssl certificate and https works on my site. However when I am using cformsii I receive the message that this page contains both secure and unsecure items. Looks like it is the images coming from

http:/mysite/wp-content/plugins/cforms/images/dark_open_XL_submit.jpg

Where would I change the setting to use https instead of http?

Thanks for your help. I am probably missing an obvious solution.

I don't get that msg in FF.

The image (per the CSS definition) ought to be included relatively, so it would pick the protocol automatically.

But you would also need to change this path in js/cforms.js to reflect https:

var sajax_uri = 'https://www.gruntpc.com/wp-content/plugins/cforms/lib_ajax.php';

Hello Oliver,

Let me start out by saying thank you for your help. I appreciate it very much. I wasn't expecting such a quick response. Also...thank you for writing such a wonderful plug-in.

The issue is about the "Padlock" image (ssl certificate). Without the "Padlock" this page works and looks fine. but...

Goal: When a person is going to fill in the form they would like to see the "Padlock" to have some sense of security on this site.

In my tests:

If internet explorer 7 is used to visit: https://www.gruntpc.com/?page_id=41

I get a prompt window asking: This page contains both secure and nonsecure items. Do you want to display the nonsecure items. Yes or No.

If NO is clicked the "Padlock" is displayed in the browser (that's desired). The insecure content is stripped out. That is where the problem starts. The layout looks terrible probably due to the image from http://gruntpc.com/wp-content/plugins/cforms/images/dark_open_XL_submit.jpg  not being displayed. Maybe there is more to this issue such as missing css...? Not sure. I found out about the image coming from a http link only by accessing that information through FireFox. I double clicked on the firefox padlock with the exclamation point. Then clicked the Media icon. The Page Info window then showed the link in http form and not https. Not sure what setting needs to be changed in order to get it to read from https.

If YES is clicked the "Padlock" is NOT displayed. CSS is working, Images are there. The form works perfect. But... with no "Padlock" people are less likely to enter the form information. (Any ideas?)

PS: I did as instructed on the js/cforms.js file, and changed to: var sajax_uri = 'https://www.gruntpc.com/wp-content/plugins/cforms/lib_ajax.php';

Right, I think the issue is with the "includes", which I believe are all pointing to http:// and not https://

Actually allmost all your internal links point to http:// ...I've never setup a https:// blog myself, but would think that you'd need to configure it accordingly. Which should then also fix the cforms inclusion links.

You will have to deactivate / reactivate cforms after changing your blog (URL / path) settings.

A missing image doesn't do that much damage, I suspect more things not going right (see above).

From what I gathered on the net, https is slower than http. I was trying to only use https when using cforms.

You have given me some ideas to try. I will create a mirror blog in https to test.

May I post my results here after testing?

As a side note: Nicole's book looks absolutely wonderful. So I purchased it through the link on your site.

Thanks again, your awesome!
