# [Plugin: WordPress.com Popular Posts] Permalinks now using https in Popular Post widget after 3.1 up

 * Just upgraded to WordPress 3.1 today, and now the permalinks in the Popular Posts
   widget are using https rather than http. I don’t have an SSL certificate, and
   don’t want to use https.
 * Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Is there a workaround?
 * You can see this in action on any of the Popular Post links on the sidebar on
   this page: [http://www.jeffhester.net/2011/02/08/apqc-2011-knowledge-management-conference/](http://www.jeffhester.net/2011/02/08/apqc-2011-knowledge-management-conference/)

 * This problem went away. Not sure what was causing it, but its working properly
   now.

 * Thank you, I think that there was something wrong at wordpress.com’s side (my
   plugin doesn’t do anything with https).
    Thank you for reporting!
