Ajax edit does not work because it’s not https

    Hello,
    I can not update Titles and Descriptions from the Page listing using the ajax functionality. In console I get the error:

    Mixed Content: The page at ‘https://raver.life/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page’ was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure XMLHttpRequest endpoint ‘http://raver.life/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php’. This content should also be served over HTTPS.

    As you can see in the source, the requestUrl specified in var aioseopadmin is https rather than https. How can I change this to https?

    <script>
if (document.location.protocol != "https:") {
    document.location = document.URL.replace(/^http:/i, "https:");
}
</script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='https://raver.life/wp-includes/js/tw-sack.min.js?ver=1.6.1'></script>
		<script type="text/javascript">

			var aioseopadmin = {

    Make sure you have https for your WP address and site address General Settings https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/article/settings-general-screen/

    I do already have those set to https.
    It’s a multi-site WP setup, so it doesn’t look like your screencap though.
    Maybe I have missed a place in the database…

    Nope, all looks good in the database.
    Not sure where it’s getting those ‘http’ values

    It’s not my screencap. That’s the WordPress documentation on General Settings.

    Our code gets the URL directly from the settings in WP using the get_bloginfo( ‘url’ ) and site_url functions.

    ‘url’ – The Site address (URL) (set in Settings > General)

    Thank you for the detailed information. I was able to trace through the code. It looks like site_url() is not returning https as the default scheme.

    If I force site_url() to use https, then the ajax update works in the admin.

    all_in_one_seo_pack.php

    if ( ! defined( 'WP_ADMIN_URL' ) ) {
	define( 'WP_ADMIN_URL', site_url('','https') . '/wp-admin' );
}

    Sounds like I need to figure out why site_url() is returning the http scheme rather than https.

    I traced the root cause of this to is_ssl() not working on my system. Probably because of the load balancer. If I force is_ssl() to return true, the problem goes away. Nothing wrong with the plugin, thanks for the help.
