 * Hello,
 * I really like this plugin, it brings exactly what it should, without any additional
   functionality, it respects my manifest, and as the description says, it only 
   adds the core, that’s what I need 👍
 * With this plugin my website passes all PWA checks with Lighthouse for both mobile
   and desktop, but I found an issue and can’t find the source: when I enable the
   plugin, I can see the following message under Settings -> General in the HTTPS
   section:
 * `There was an issue in the request for HTTPS verification.`
 * The site goes through all security checks and is served over HTTPS, so I can’t
   figure out what the issue is. Could you please point me in the right direction
   to find the reason?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fthere-was-an-issue-in-the-request-for-https-verification%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * This error is shown when the manifest can’t be found on the page: [https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/pwa-wp/blob/eb261a994eac10a73d16fb5d393965e758ccd4ab/wp-includes/class-wp-https-detection.php#L133-L139](https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/pwa-wp/blob/eb261a994eac10a73d16fb5d393965e758ccd4ab/wp-includes/class-wp-https-detection.php#L133-L139)
 * I’m not sure why that is the case for your site, but that’s where the error is
   coming from.
 * I suggest looking at the logic in `has_proper_manifest` to debug why it isn’t
   able to find the manifest link: [https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/pwa-wp/blob/eb261a994eac10a73d16fb5d393965e758ccd4ab/wp-includes/class-wp-https-detection.php#L171-L195](https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/pwa-wp/blob/eb261a994eac10a73d16fb5d393965e758ccd4ab/wp-includes/class-wp-https-detection.php#L171-L195)

 * [@westonruter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/westonruter/) thanks! The 
   problem went away and I’m not sure what it was. But it looks like the problem
   was that I had a different manifest that I wanted to use instead of the one generated
   by the plugin. Now I only have the plugin manifest.
