Hi Steven,

I made a hook that may help someone with problems with “force ssl”.
Or, maybe You would like to see if it is interesting to change the source with something like that.

I had problems with “force ssl” on a page that I am using [connections_form]:

a)It was freezing (analizing source) at:

<script type=’text/javascript’>
/* <![CDATA[ */
var cn_form = {“ajaxurl”:”http:\/\/ieage.org\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php”,”debug”:””,”strSubmitting”:”Please wait, your submission is being processed.”,”strSubmitted”:”Submission received.”,”strSubmittedMsg”:”We will review and approve your submission soon.”};
/* ]]> */
</script>

**** (OBS: MARIO: FREEZES HERE=>”Please wait…”, and I didn’t receive e-mail (neither the user) and the entry was totally lost; something with “admin_url” was not working)****

b) I studied Connections_form.php, (and made some “google” about wp+ajax+ssl), and:

b.1)line 131-132:
$protocol = isset( $_SERVER[‘HTTPS’] ) ? ‘https://&#8217; : ‘http://&#8217;;
$attr = array( ‘ajaxurl’ => admin_url( ‘admin-ajax.php’ , $protocol ) , ‘debug’ => $this->demo );

b.2)it wasn’t setting to HTTPS

b.3)I changed the code to:

————————————————-
//$protocol = isset( $_SERVER[‘HTTPS’] ) ? ‘https://&#8217; : ‘http://&#8217;;
$marprot=admin_url(‘admin-ajax.php’);
if ( is_ssl() && ‘http:’ == substr( $marprot, 0, 5 ) )
$marprot = ‘https:’ . substr( $marprot, 5 );

//$attr = array( ‘ajaxurl’ => admin_url( ‘admin-ajax.php’ , $protocol ) , ‘debug’ => $this->demo );
$attr = array( ‘ajaxurl’ => $marprot , ‘debug’ => $this->demo );
————————————————-

b.4) Now it is working with, and without, “force ssl” on the page.

Cheers,
Mario

@ Mario

Thanks for reporting this with a solution!

Quick question, can you try this solution?

Comment out this line, like you’ve done:

$protocol = isset( $_SERVER['HTTPS'] ) ? 'https://' : 'http://';

So it becomes:

//$protocol = isset( $_SERVER['HTTPS'] ) ? 'https://' : 'http://';

Now, change this line from:

'ajaxurl' => admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php', $protocol ),

To this:

'ajaxurl' => admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php', ( is_ssl() ? 'https' : 'http' ) ),

That should do it so you do not have to do the string replace. Let me know. And thanks again!

Hi, Steven,

Don’t ask me “Why”…rsrs
but not worked out!

I remember, I tried to use directly ‘https’ on admin_url and nothing happened.
Despite that, I made your’s suggestions, and nothing happened again.

a)with your code I returned to:
/* <![CDATA[ */var cn_form ={“ajaxurl”:”http:\/\/ieage.org\/wp-admin…

b)when I restore with my code:
/* <![CDATA[ */var cn_form = {“ajaxurl”:”https:\/\/ieage.org\/wp-admin…

It seems that the problem is with “admin_url”, something is not working as it should be.

Best regards,
Mario

Hmmm, check this page out, under the Notes section.

I wonder if you are facing a similar issue, that your site behind some type of load balancer or proxy server….

Actually, I read that page, but I am using:

if ( is_ssl() && ‘http:’ == substr( $marprot, 0, 5 ) )

and it works…
Why? I really don’t know.
But I was reviewing where I found this code, and it was on PHP from “Contact 7 form”, which I use also and loads “loaderurl=https..” fine.

My site is hosted by Hostgator…
