 * Hello,
 * If a site uses SSL, this plugin throws errors about loading non-secure content.
   Several URLs, including `http://www.connect.facebook.com/widgets/fan.php....`
   and `http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/...`, should automatically detect if the site
   is using SSL and then use `https://` instead of `http://`.

 * Raam,
 * There doesn’t appear to be anything I can do to resolve this problem. Facebook
   deprecated the Share API some time ago and no longer supports it.
 * Making a secure request for the Share API scripts (try [https://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Loader](https://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Loader))
   triggers a browser security block because the SSL certificate on the CDN is for
   Akamai, not Facebook. Unfortunately, most browsers don’t prompt the use to load
   the script anyway, meaning the buttons simply don’t appear.
