Title: Problem using iframe feature with https Last modified: January 4, 2019 --- # Problem using iframe feature with https * Resolved [tlagren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tlagren/) * (@tlagren) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-using-iframe-feature-with-https/) * Hi, I have been using the iframe feature which has been working great, but now when I have enabled SSL on my website I cannot load the forum in the iframe anymore. Everything worked well with plain http. * This is what I did: – Enable Let’s Encrypt SSL feature frommy web hosting company– Changed the WP Setting about URL to the new https url – Changed the url to https in the w3all settings in WP – Changed from http:// to https:// in phpBB Admin Server settings – Updated the links in overall_footer.html so they use https instead of http – Enabled recompile in phpBB and loaded the forum from the direct link * The forum is working without the iframe at [https://wp2.transamclub.se/phpBB3](https://wp2.transamclub.se/phpBB3) * Have I missed something? * Update: I’m using the latest version of your plugin. * /Tomas - This topic was modified 7 years, 5 months ago by [tlagren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tlagren/). - This topic was modified 7 years, 5 months ago by [tlagren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tlagren/). * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fproblem-using-iframe-feature-with-https%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 37 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-using-iframe-feature-with-https/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-using-iframe-feature-with-https/page/3/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-using-iframe-feature-with-https/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [axew3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/axewww/) * (@axewww) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-using-iframe-feature-with-https/#post-11051799) * did you switched to v3 code, then you updated/rebuilt also page-forum.php in accord? because it has been changed to work with v3 iframe code. On ACP Cookie settings -> cookie secure set to yes. Clean cookies? * Thread Starter [tlagren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tlagren/) * (@tlagren) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-using-iframe-feature-with-https/#post-11051955) * Thanks for a very quick response. Yes, I copied iframeResizer.contentWindow.min. js from the plugin addon directory to the phpBB3 root folder. The version of the resizer is v3.6.2 – 2018-09-16 (first line in the js-file). * I have rebuilt page-forum.php by clicking the “Create/Rebuild phpBB Page Template” button in WP Settings. * I had forgot to change the cookie setting to secure, but it didn’t help after changing that. I have cleared all cookies, and also tried from other devices. * When I visit the /forum url the Javascript executes and it tries to load the page, but the result is empty. I did also try to back to plain http again and then the forum is working again. So my problem is related to https. * While comparing files I noticed that the page-forum.php is slightly different from the version in your TRUNK, but I guess you’re already on next version in TRUNK. * ``` $ diff page-forum.php page-forum.php_fromtrunk 275c275,276 < if(/[^-0-9A-Za-z\._#\:\?\/=&%]/ig.exec(w3all_passed_url) !== null){ --- > // security: do not pass to be encoded an url with sid or if point to phpBB admin ACP via iframe > if( /[^-0-9A-Za-z\._#\:\?\/=&%]/ig.exec(w3all_passed_url) !== null || /adm\//ig.exec(w3all_passed_url) !== null || /sid=/ig.exec(w3all_passed_url) !== null ){ ``` * /Tomas - This reply was modified 7 years, 5 months ago by [tlagren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tlagren/). * Thread Starter [tlagren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tlagren/) * (@tlagren) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-using-iframe-feature-with-https/#post-11052084) * I just tried from an old Win7 computer with Internet Explorer and it’s showing the header of my phpBB forum. It looks like tha height of the ifrane is to small, but with Google chrome from the same Win computer it’s empty. * So perhaps the forum is loaded, but just not visible if there are problem with the height of the iframe when using ssl? * /Tomas * Plugin Author [axew3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/axewww/) * (@axewww) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-using-iframe-feature-with-https/#post-11052135) * `locked loading mixed active content “http://wp2.transamclub.se/phpBB3/”` but as i see you’ve setup correctly all as need to be … what stupid situation … let me think on it a while more … bump … * Plugin Author [axew3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/axewww/) * (@axewww) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-using-iframe-feature-with-https/#post-11052168) * p.s the above i see on console, it a js error that lead to this, did you cleaned phpBB cache? nor i imagine how could interfere but just in case … and eventually wp cache if there is some wp cache plugin. The url that point to load the phpBB into iframe is https, but the console return the above, so refuse to load and this the result.

If I click on allow, then the forum loads nice. So then it’s back to the problem why this is happening. If I browse directly to the forum there are no warnings about mixed content. * I did also check both the /phpBB3/ and /forum/ url with [http://www.whynopadlock.com](http://www.whynopadlock.com) and that tool didn’t find any mixed content, but it was probably not able to load the javascript.. * I have no cache plugins installed in WP, I have deleted all files in the cache folder for phpBB3. * Perhaps my hosting provider do have some caching because I don’t find any file or config where it points to [http://wp2…](http://wp2…); as Chrome reports. * I have to continue searching for this, thanks for your help so far. * /Tomas * Plugin Author [axew3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/axewww/) * (@axewww) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-using-iframe-feature-with-https/#post-11053051) * just in place finally after a long walk under 0 degree! that’s maybe more normal for you! * Ok, look that there is no apparent reason for this but i can follow that now i’ve check more and: this the request: * ``` Host: wp2.transamclub.se User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br Referer: https://wp2.transamclub.se/forum/ DNT: 1 Connection: keep-alive Cookie: phpbb3_jgdwe_u=1; phpbb3_jgdwe_k=; phpbb3_jgdwe_sid=92be3c746cedb2aa8d253539b102240c; cookie_notice_accepted=true Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1> ``` * and this the response: * ``` HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Date: Fri, 04 Jan 2019 18:38:10 GMT Server: Apache Location: http://wp2.transamclub.se/phpBB3/ Content-Length: 241 Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=191 Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 ``` * for some reason phpBB response is http 301, the reason is obscure to me at moment, may you can understand well having all under hand to test. * Thread Starter [tlagren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tlagren/) * (@tlagren) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-using-iframe-feature-with-https/#post-11053190) * This time of the year we normally have a temperature below 0. Last year which was crazy with snow we had almost 1 meter and about -10 degrees but today there was 3-5 degrees plus and the little snow we have is melting. Hopefully it changes so we can have a real winter here in the north of Sweden. * I have created a support ticket to my web hosting company and asked if there is any caching mechanism in place, still waiting for an answer. * Regarding the HTTP 301 I did also notice that but it just when you don’t add the / (slash) in the end of the url. It’s them same with all WP urls, for example [https://wp2.transamclub.se/kontakt](https://wp2.transamclub.se/kontakt) so I guess it’s a WP feature. * /Tomas * Thread Starter [tlagren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tlagren/) * (@tlagren) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-using-iframe-feature-with-https/#post-11053368) * I did notice one other thing.
