 * This problem occurred while on 3.8.3. Upgrading to 3.9 had no effect. We host
   a multisite installation on WPengine. As of Tuesday evening when editing a post
   and attempting to add images through the modal, the spinner continued but no 
   images showed in the window. When in the dashboard and selecting “media–>library”
   all images appear but not in the edit post modal. We are forcing SSL in the admin
   area and have never had this problem until now. Google dev tools says:
 * [blocked] The page at ‘[https://smc.temple.edu/trayes/wp-admin/post.php?post=23550&action=edit&#8217](https://smc.temple.edu/trayes/wp-admin/post.php?post=23550&action=edit&#8217);
   was loaded over HTTPS, but ran insecure content from ‘[http://smc.temple.edu/trayes/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=atd_settings&ver=20120221&#8217](http://smc.temple.edu/trayes/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=atd_settings&ver=20120221&#8217);:
   this content should also be loaded over HTTPS.
 * This is happening within the <div class=”media modal wp-core-ui”>. All image 
   URLs appear to be using https://
 * This happens network wide on all blogs including those with no plugins and default
   WP themes (twentyfourteen). We have no access to nginx.conf or any other server
   configuration. I submitted a ticket to WPengine on Wednesday morning which got
   escalated but little response from them. Over 24 hours and no resolution. Any
   ideas from the community?

 * Follow up: Apparently WPengine made a change to our SSL configuration which included`
   Strictly force SSL objects` on 4-23-2014 which caused us to lose media and some
   plugin functionality. This was reverted and our issues were resolved.
