    G’day ericzz,

    You can edit the posts to remove the http: bit from the image URLs, keeping the //... etc.

    I realise that but why doesn’t the plugin catch those and fix them automatically?

    Also I read several article that say the protocol relative URL’s should only be used on javascript and CSS not on images and or other elements.

    G’day ericzz,

    This plugin wasn’t designed to fix everything, just the things out of your control like files loaded by plugins and themes. Everything has a performance impact, and I’ve tried hard to keep this plugin very lightweight by only doing what it needs to do. I might add an option in the future to fix up content too, but it doesn’t do that now.

    Protocol relative URLs are fine for images in most browsers, just a few older browsers have some problems (I think I saw an old Opera browser fail to load some images somewhere because of it).

    The one big exception is content you’ll be sending via email. e.g. if you build a page in WordPress and send its content as an email, there may be no protocol for the email program to be relative to! In those circumstances, please change the http: bits to https: bits.

    cheers,
    Ross

    It would be awesome to have a content option. Thanks again and all the best!
