# [Plugin: Editorial Calendar] Load assets over HTTPS

 * First I want to say that Editorial Calendar is a fantastic piece of work, easily
   one of the nicest WP plugins I use.
 * One issue I have though is that all its static assets — CSS, JS, and images —
   are loaded via HTTP regardless of how WP Admin itself is loaded. We require SSL
   for our admin area via `FORCE_SSL_ADMIN` but the plugin loads these files via
   plain text HTTP.
 * This causes scary messages in some browsers and if a writer chooses to not load
   the insecure assets, the calendar does not load at all (this happened to one 
   of our writers).
 * Overall great work though, so I’d love to see this one issue fixed. Thanks!

 * Thanks for using the Editorial Calendar. We’re loading all of our assets with
   relative URLs so it should use whatever protocol the page loaded with. We also
   embedding our CSS and JavaScript in the page.
 * The one place we do load images from CSS, but we’re getting the path to those
   from WordPress.
 * I don’t have the calendar running over SSL so I can’t reproduce this issue. Do
   you know which files are causing the issue? Any chance I could log into your 
   blog and see the problem?
 * Thanks,
    Zack

 * Thanks for the quick response, Zack. I can’t give you a login to the site, but
   if you give me an email address I can send you a copy of the generated HTML for
   the calendar page.
 * But here’s the list of plugin files that are loaded over plain HTTP:
    - `editorial-calendar/lib/languages/date-en-US.js`
    - `editorial-calendar/lib/edcallib.min.js`
    - `editorial-calendar/images/tip_close.png`
 * And WP images that are loaded by the calendar:
    - `wp-admin/images/loading.gif`
    - `wp-admin/images/button-grad.png`
 * The images are all loaded as CSS background images, from an inline style block.
   The JS looks to be loaded via `wp_head()`.

 * Thanks for the help tracking this down. I found the problem. The calendar was
   loading the relative files with the wrong function. I tracked down the right 
   function and changed the way we load these files so it should work for SSL, but
   I’m not set up to test it.
 * If I can send you an updated file would you be willing to try it out?
 * Thanks,
    Zack

 * We’ve released a new version of the calendar that calls the plugins_url function
   to build the URL to these resources and uses SSL correctly. This is released 
   in the latest version of the calendar. However, Kenn is running into a core WordPress
   issue ([http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16953](http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16953))
   and we’re still working on a way around it.
