 * Does this plugin work with HTTPS at all? I had to deactivate this plugin to get
   my images to show on the site, and anytime I try to re-enable it, it breaks again.
   Is there a step I’m missing, or are the two not compatible?
 * Thanks

 * Hello, there,
 * Well, actually the plugin itself is agnostic of whether your website is using
   HTTPS or not! However, it might get confused when using both HTTP and HTTPS or
   when you are in the middle of a transition from HTTP to HTTPS, or vice versa.
 * Could you please check the “WordPress Address (URL)” and the “Site Address (URL)”
   in your WordPress “General settings” page? Do they contain “http” or “https”?
   It is very probable that they still mention “http”. If that is indeed the case,
   then you should make sure that you change this -and all of your websites urls
   along with it- to “https”, so that the transition to HTTPS is complete and that
   no code within your website will be confused by such a setting.
 * (You might need to save your Adaptive Images settings anew after this, too!)
 * Let me know if this worked for you and if there is anything else I can do!
 * Cheers,
    Takis

 * It’s not my first HTTPS rodeo, those settings are the first thing I change. I
   also use velvet update URL to update all the image URLs to reflect the HTTPS 
   as well.
 * I was also not sure why this plugin would be affected by HTTPS, all I know is
   now when I activate it, my slider disappears, gallery images won’t load, and 
   a bunch of funky stuff happens on the page. I just tried again today after it
   being HTTPS over the long weekend, and it does the same thing.

 * Hello, again,
 * As I said before, the plugin does not care whether you use HTTP or HTTPS, but
   it does get affected when a transition from HTTP to HTTPS happens. The reason
   is that the plugin must translate images from urls to local path. And, of course,
   the image urls are affected by HTTP/HTTPS.
 * Now if the plugin was working OK so far then what you need to do is a) make sure
   your have HTTPS set in your website urls, in your WordPress “General settings”,
   like this [http://prntscr.com/ext1n8/](http://prntscr.com/ext1n8/) and b) save
   the Adaptive Images settings anew, so that the plugin settings are aware of the
   website urls change.
 * Are you certain that you have followed these two steps? All our tests, for all
   different setups, have shown that this should work, but I would really like to
   find out whether there is some other case which we have not predicted yet.
 * Also, if it is not too much trouble, could you please momentarily activate the
   plugin and send me the results of the “Print debug” and “Print diagnostics” buttons
   in the plugin settings page?
 * Cheers,
    Takis

 * Doing A & B mentioned above didn’t do anything, however I found clearing the 
   image cache sorted out the issues I was having. If you still need it I’ll paste
   the debug info here (but I’ll be changing the URL of the site)

 * ✔ PHP GD library is installed.
 * ✔ Image cache directory has been created.
 *  /home/example/public_html/wp-content/cache/adaptive-images => drwxr-xr-x

 *  /home/example/public_html/.htaccess => -rw-r–r–

 * Hello, again,
 * Thanks for the debug info. It all seems as expected, I cannot see out of the 
   ordinary there.
 * I am glad that clearing the image cache worked for you, although I cannot connect
   it to the initial problem. I will keep a note of it for other users in the future.
 * Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.
 * Cheers,
    Takis
