 * Hi, your plugin when add a svg icon from your library of icons, its add xmlns
   =”[http://www.w3.org/2000/svg&#8221](http://www.w3.org/2000/svg&#8221); (use 
   http protocol), but in actuallity w3.org uses https protocol [https://www.w3.org/2000/svg](https://www.w3.org/2000/svg),
   So please correct the protocol for your icons, as it cause issues not only with
   SSL but also cause issue with google adword approval, etc.

 * Hi [@hozefasmile](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hozefasmile/), thank you
   for reporting this. All the icons in the library are from third-party services.
   They all use http for xmlns, so I’m not sure if it’s good or not. Could you please
   send me some links about this protocol issue? This guide on [MDN ](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Namespaces_Crash_Course)
   also uses HTTP for SVG, not HTTPS.
 * Thanks, Phi.

 * Hummm, you are right, as per this link [https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/738](https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/738)
   w3c it appears like this attribute is not treated as an url but as just an identifier.
   So I think this shoudn’t be the issue for SSL and google adword in this case,
   and its a universal issue, if its actually an issue that should be noticed.
