# SexyBookmarks sends insecure sprite.png on HTTPS page using WordPress HTTPS

 * Hi, I have SexyBookmarks 4.0.5.6, WordPress 3.2.1, and WordPress HTTPS 1.9.1 
   on this site:
 * [Ron Paul T-Shirt](http://www.libertybracelet.com/store/who-is-ron-paul-t-shirt)
 * If you add this item to the cart, and then proceed to checkout, you will get 
   an insecure error from IE. Using Google Chrome Developer Tools, I’m getting this
   error:
 * > The page at [https://www.libertybracelet.com/store/checkout](https://www.libertybracelet.com/store/checkout)
   > displayed insecure content from [http://www.libertybracelet.com/wp-content/uploads/shareaholic/spritegen/sprite.png](http://www.libertybracelet.com/wp-content/uploads/shareaholic/spritegen/sprite.png).
 * What’s funny is that on this page, I have a custom field titled HideSexyBookmarks
   and it is set to 1, and that is working! So why is this sprite.png even trying
   to load???
 * So I need a solution to either (or both) of these issues:
 * 1. Stop loading sprite.png when I disable SexyBookmarks on a page.
    2. Send over
   HTTPS on an HTTPS page.
 * I am even telling WordPress HTTPS to FORCE everything to HTTPS, and it doesn’t
   work with this. I assume the filter is getting underneath it or something.
 * This site has no cache plugin on.
 * Thanks!
    Mike

 * I added before line 792 of include/public.php:
 * `if ( is_ssl() ) $spritegen_basepath = preg_replace( '#^http://#', 'https://',
   $spritegen_basepath );`
 * And this fixed the issue. Hope this helps others.
 * I’d appreciate it though if the developers could acknowledge this though and 
   hopefully put something like this in the next update, because next time we upgrade
   this change will disappear lol
 * Thanks.

 * Thanks for sharing Jason. I’ve been trying to fins a solution to the same problem
   for ages.
 * Would you mind pasting the existing code before and after where you inserted 
   the new code? I tried your code but it didn’t work, so I’m thinking I pasted 
   it incorrectly.
 * Also, are you using the beta version?
 * Cheers.

 * Hi all,
 * The reason WordPress HTTPS does not fix this is because we load some assets via
   javascript, which gets generated well before the WordPress HTTPS filters go into
   effect.
 * We have a fix coming for this very soon; it will work both with and without the
   WordPress HTTPS plugin.

 * When I uninstall and reinstall sexybookmarks it remembers my settings and for
   some reason I can’t get it to work again.
 * Can someone please detail a manual way of removing everything so I can do a fresh
   install?
