# mixed http and https installation problems

 * My blog ([http://hugo.rfc1437.de/](http://hugo.rfc1437.de/)) runs both under 
   http and https. Two plugins still pull their javascript from the http address
   even when I access the https version. One of them is wp jquery lightbox (which
   I absolutely love btw). Looks like there need to be a few site_url() calls thrown
   in to correctly link to the javascript code.

 * I actually use 1.3.3 now, but the mixed http/https problem still is there. You
   can see it on [https://hugo.rfc1437.de/category/galerie/](https://hugo.rfc1437.de/category/galerie/)–
   both the lightbox.min.css and the jquery-lightbox.min.js are loaded via http 
   instead of https.

 * after looking into this whole thing for a while now (several other places with
   problems with proper http/https handling showed up) it seems that in some cases
   it is needed to use is_ssl() to check for current scheme and then str_replace
   on urls to turn them to the needed scheme. An idea might be to add a filter to
   all places where jquery-lightbox outputs URLs and hook a filter function to that
   single place to handle this problem.

 * I’ll have to do some research on this for the next release. Thanks for reporting!

 * Hi. Maybe you guys can help me. I installed wordpress using https (site accessible
   via both http and https). The default behavior uses https when loading the home
   page. How do I disable this?
 * The RewriteEngine rule in the .htaccess file is commented out, so redirection(
   I don’t believe) is happening from there. Is there a file in WP that specifies
   whether to use http or https? Thanks.

 * I’m now using [the “path-API”](http://codex.wordpress.org/Determining_Plugin_and_Content_Directories)
   of WP3.0 for all URLs and directories. If there are still issues with mixed installations
   I’d like to know, but ultimately it would have to be considered an issue with
   WordPress core.
