 * Hello and thanks for this great plugin.
 * I have some random issues that I can’t manage to fix by myself nor can find any
   information on Google about it.
 * When sending newsletters, my visitors often report me that the link they clicked
   is marked as unsafe by their browser.
    Sometimes the links ( article titles links
   for example) within a newsletter are replaced by httpS instead of http.
 * I can’t understand where it comes from and so, can’t solve it :-/
 * Thanks in advance for your help !
 * Regards,
    polki

 * Hi Polki,
 * First of all, do you have an SSL certificate for your site at all? If you don’t,
   can you check in your wp-admin > Settings > General that your site_url and home_url
   are both set to “HTTP”?
 * Finally, can you share a link of one of the problem posts?
 * Thanks!

 * Hello thanks for your answer.
 * No SSL certificate on the site, that’s why visitors browsers are saying that 
   my site might be dangerous.
    Yes both settings are set to use http and not httpS.
 * for example, here is a newsletter I recently sent :
 * [HERE](http://www.paris-autrement.paris/?wysija-page=1&controller=email&action=view&email_id=1011&wysijap=subscriptions&user_id=240)
 * As you can see, links are using HTTPS instead of HTTP.
