# Mixed content blocked, https protected admin area, v2.4
* Resolved [Herbert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hneugebauer/)
* (@hneugebauer)
* [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mixed-content-blocked-https-protected-admin-area-v24/)
* I have posted a request on this topic quite some time ago
[http://wordpress.org/support/topic/mixed-content-blocked-https-protected-admin-area?replies=5](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/mixed-content-blocked-https-protected-admin-area?replies=5)
* The issue persists also in version 2.4 of the plugin.
* I made several changes to the code and posted it back to the original author,
hopefully it can be included in a future version.
One challenge is that the
plugin loads code from external servers, like maps.googlecom, openstreetmap.org
and openlayers.org. Some content can be included via https, but some not, as
those sites only work via http and not https. However the code from openlayers
is Open Source. Therefor it should be totally legal to download the code form
there (they provide instructions how to include it on your website!)
* Change Log for people with php knowledge to try themselves:
* 1) in osm.php, starting line 78, replace the definitions with this:
* ```
if ( ! defined( 'OSMWP_CONTENT_URL' ) )
define( 'OSMWP_CONTENT_URL', site_url() . '/wp-content' );
if ( ! defined( 'WP_CONTENT_DIR' ) )
define( 'WP_CONTENT_DIR', ABSPATH . 'wp-content' );
if ( ! defined( 'OSMWP_PLUGIN_URL' ) )
define( 'OSMWP_PLUGIN_URL', OSMWP_CONTENT_URL. '/plugins' );
if ( ! defined( 'WP_PLUGIN_DIR' ) )
define( 'WP_PLUGIN_DIR', WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/plugins' );
define ("OSM_PLUGIN_URL", OSMWP_PLUGIN_URL."/osm/");
define ("OSM_PLUGIN_ICONS_URL", OSM_PLUGIN_URL."icons/");
define ("URL_POST_MARKER", OSM_PLUGIN_URL.POST_MARKER_PNG);
define ("OSM_PLUGIN_THEMES_URL", OSM_PLUGIN_URL."themes/");
define( 'OSM_OPENLAYERS_THEMES_URL', OSMWP_CONTENT_URL. '/uploads/osm/theme/' );
define ("OSM_PLUGIN_JS_URL", OSM_PLUGIN_URL."js/");
```
* 2) create osm-config.php (from the sample that is included in the plugin)
* ```
define ("Osm_LoadLibraryMode", SERVER_EMBEDDED);
define ("Osm_OSM_LibraryLocation", 'https://www.openstreetmap.org/openlayers/OpenStreetMap.js');
define ("Osm_OL_LibraryPath", OSM_PLUGIN_URL.'openlayers_2-12/');
define ("Osm_OL_LibraryLocation", OSM_PLUGIN_URL.'openlayers_2-12/OpenLayers.js');
define ("Osm_GOOGLE_LibraryLocation", 'https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false');
// OpenSeaMap scripts
define ("Osm_harbours_LibraryLocation", OSM_PLUGIN_URL.'openseamap/harbours.js');
define ("Osm_map_utils_LibraryLocation", OSM_PLUGIN_URL.'openseamap/map_utils.js');
define ("Osm_utilities_LibraryLocation", OSM_PLUGIN_URL.'openseamap/utilities.js');
define ("Osm_openweather_LibraryLocation", OSM_PLUGIN_URL.'openweathermap/OWM.OpenLayers.1.3.4.js');
```
* 3) change line 140 in osm-options.php
* ```
```
* 4) Download OpenLayers [http://openlayers.org/download/](http://openlayers.org/download/)
The plugin is hardcoded to use version 2.12… but you can also try with the latest
version. The download package includes instructions about what you really need
on the web-server (the readme). see the osm-config.php for sub-directory to create
and upload the files (you may change osm-config.php to update the directory name.
* 5) Optional … fetch the openseamap js files … if you need openseamap at all.
* This is not a totally complete step-by-step-guide. Please only do this, if you
know php and can fill the “obvious steps” that are not listed above yourself
😉

* Hello Herbert,
* the plugin version 2.4.1 implemented parts of your modifications, the SSL support
for the backend will we covered with OSM Plugin Version 2.5.
Whenever you make
modifications in WP plugins you have to consider, the whole folder will be deleted
with an update and your modifications are lost.
* Thanks for sharing your coding!
