HTTPS breaks featured video

Hi,

We have switched over to using HTTPS. Everything looks great, except, it appears to have broken featured videos from displaying. Please see: https://n4bb.com/people-love-blackberry-passport-video/

I have even made sure the videos are using HTTPS link. Any idea what would cause this?

Thank you!

I think we had same issue; someplace in the templates the element for the video link is set as “//youtube” vs explicitly “https://youtube” … but I forget where that is.

You might have to look in the /includes/td-functions file (basically the “real” functions file for theme), or possibly the template for the featured video. There might even be a separate includes file in the booster folder for “video” too. Again I forget on this, sorry.

Or, wait for tagdiv support to reply with the defacto correct info. There might be the fix still found in the forum for Newsmag, but since so few people actually “tag” their posts, not sure how well that works.

That is actually a *bug* as Google now loads all Youtube videos with full URL as “https always on.”

Only the shortcode youtu.be redirect is loaded as http and that shouldn’t be used anyway as it’s a “redirect” which is bad for PageSpeed rating.
