 * Hello
    I tried to put my blog totally in HTTPS. I noticed that the plugin is 
   not working when medias path has HTTPS, it works still fine with HTTP. I thought
   at the first place that it was my gallery plugin but it behaves the same with
   default galleries, it opens image page instead of lightbox. Can you have a look?
   Thank you in advance. Regards

 * Same here. I just made the last update of SL, I believe it stopped working on
   HTTPS then. Before the update, it was working just fine for me. Hope this helps.

 * @smirn0ff: Unfortunately, without a link, there’s not much I can do to diagnose
   the issue you’re experiencing.
 * SLB fully supports SSL, but there may be some other configuration steps that 
   need to be taken on your server when switching over. For example, you may need
   to check with your hosting provider to ensure that cURL is properly configured
   to access local files over SSL.
 * Let me know if you have any other questions, and if you have a link to share 
   in the future, I would be glad to reopen this ticket and take a closer look into
   your issue.

 * I think it is ok since HTTPS si working for the rest of the files. (PHP, css,
   js..)

 * Hi, I can understand how it may seem similar, but cURL is a completely separate
   piece of software from PHP, with its own configuration and settings. Also, the
   information provided by `phpinfo()` only shows the options PHP uses to interact
   with cURL, not cURL’s own settings and policies.
 * As previously noted, contacting your web hosting provider to check on the settings
   in my previously response is recommended to resolve your issue.

 * Hi, the details on what to ask your hosting provider are noted in my 2nd reply
   in this thread. You can also ask them to check any error logs that may indicate
   whether certain files are not being loaded. Unfortunately, without a link to 
   see what may be happening in your specific case, there’s only so much I can suggest.
