 * Scripts and styles should be queued using a function that can check whether to
   load static resources as `http` or `https`.
 * Currently, the plugin uses constants like these:
 *     ```
       $wp_content_url .= '/wp-content';
       $wp_content_dir = ABSPATH . 'wp-content';
       $wp_plugin_url = $wp_content_url . '/plugins';
       $wp_plugin_dir = $wp_content_dir . '/plugins';
   
       define( 'FBFW_PATH', $wp_plugin_dir . '/fancybox-for-wordpress' );
       define( 'FBFW_URL', $wp_plugin_url . '/fancybox-for-wordpress' );
       ```
   
 * Instead, it’d be more helpful to simply use `plugins_url` which respects the 
   protocol. This is an issue if you’re using `https` because the browser displays
   warnings of insecure content.
 * Here’s some code you can use in a plugin or theme to deregister all scripts/styles
   and re-register them using the correct protocol: [http://pastebin.com/ur8DSN4s](http://pastebin.com/ur8DSN4s)

 * Thanks for the temporary fix! Looking forward to this being incorporated into
   the plugin itself.
