# HTTP or HTTPS

 * On Twitter this plugin is inserting an “https” in front of some URLs, but most
   often only “http”. The “s” returns an error message when clicking the link.
 * I cannot figure out (predict) which tweets receive this SSL prefix and which 
   don’t. It happens, say every 10 tweets, sometimes several in a row.
 * I have now turned off the URL shortener in the plugin to see if that helps. Any
   other suggestions?

 * Thanks for the link, it’s a good demo of the problem 🙂 We’re investigating it
   right now, hopefully we can find the issue and fix it really soon.

 * Hey,
 * I’ve been looking into it, we are using WP get_permalink() function to get the
   link that’s being shared.
    Are you using a plugin or something that uses SSL 
   certificates? Because there might be a problem there.
 * We could force the plugin to pick http everytime, but that wouldn’t be a good
   solution for people using https on their website.

 * I have been looking into some of the links posted by “Revive Old Post” on Twitter.
   There seems to be no structure in which posts receives the http or the https 
   prefix. In other words: Apparently random.
 * I made a test: One post was given the SSL prefix by you. When I posted the same
   tweet two days later, it came without.

 * No posts have permalinks with https (secure sockets layer). I’m using plugins
   but I can’t think of any that add SSL certificates to a link.
 * Are there any plugins that have been known to conflict with your plugin?

 * Hello,
 * No, we are not aware of any plugin that could conflict with ours, especially 
   for this kind of problem.
 * For generating the permalink we are using the wordpress get_permalink function,
   nothing fancy that could produce this. Your problem is that for some posts the
   permalink is returning secures links and for some it isnt. The result of get_permalink
   is not altered by us.
 * Let me know if we can help you with something else.
 * Thank you !
