 * Please – someone answer me? The URL for the images (when you click to edit them)
   is https, but FooGallery’s links are all http.

 * I used this, suggested in another thread, and it made no difference.
 *     ```
       function force_https_the_content($content) {
         if ( is_ssl() )
         {
           $content = str_replace( 'src="http://', 'src="https://', $content );
         }
         return $content;
       }
       add_filter('the_content', 'force_https_the_content');
       ```

 * Looking at your site – it seems you have solved your problem.
 * Just a note that FooGallery uses the core WordPress media library and functions
   to upload images.
 * There are a few options to force HTTPS images I have found:

 * We got the HTTPS working by using a post-processing rule for WP Engine.
 * But the biggest problem (taking 2 hours of me chatting with WPE support) was 
   trying to figure out why the thumbnails were being stored in a cache folder. 
   I finally discovered a post about FooGallery stating that this is what you do
   by default. That was a big mess, maybe you could make it much more obvious that
   FooGallery is doing this, and how it can be forced to use the actual images instead
   of cached images.
 * WP Engine doesn’t by default backup any folders named /cache/ or /caches/ or /
   cached/, so when I rolled back to an earlier site version all my FooGallery image
   thumbnails disappeared. It’s simple to tick the checkbox to force it to use the
   actual image files, but not if it’s not obvious what that’s for.
