 * I am trying to implement video lightbox on an SSL site. When clicking the button
   to play the video, I am getting a “Blocked loading mixed active content “http://
   player.vimeo.com/video/167154679?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0”[Learn More] prettyPhoto.
   js:365:5” error message and the video will not load (obviously because it is 
   mixed content). I cannot understand why the plugin is requesting it over http…..
   and for the record, the code I have works perfectly fine on an HTTP site.
 * Any ideas?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fblocking-mixed-content-error-message%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi, I tested your site in four different browsers and it works for me. The browsers
   I used for testing, Google Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Seamonkey.
 * Can you make sure you clear your browser cache, then try again? Or if you can
   try using a different browser.
 * The web console inspector in Firefox does show a couple of errors. But like I
   mentioned above it does work in the browsers I used for testing.

 * [@mbrsolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrsolution/), I apologize,
   the way the website is currently setup it works fine because it is simply just
   an Iframe not using video lightbox. I have pulled the button code the references
   WP_Video Lightbox until I can get this figured out.
 * The exact error message that shows in the JS Console when I have the button implemented
   is “Blocked loading mixed active content “http://player.vimeo.com/video/167154679?
   title=0&byline=0&portrait=0”[Learn More] prettyPhoto.js:365:5”.
 * Clearly…. it references the video over HTTP and I have no idea why.

 * Hi, that could be due to a plugin or theme conflict. Try to test this plugin 
   with all other plugins disabled. If that does not work, test one of WordPress
   default themes like Twenty Sixteen or Seventeen.
 * Let em know how you go.
 * Regards
