Our client’s site has an SSL ceritificate installed. We have been able to fix most of the console errors but we have a Vimeo error regarding the security.

Please advise.

Double check all your vimeo videos are entered as https://vimeo blah

We can’t because this is a widget inside of Visual Composer that just adds the Vimeo URL to the ID of the video.

Hello,

If you move to ssl, then you have to recreate the visual composer elements that still grab the link over http. delete the widget and re-create it after you set up the ssl implementation.

Thank you!

Hi Bogdan

Not sure what you mean but I have deleted the widget from that page, added it again, and the issue is still there.

Please advise.

Please make sure the ssl implementation was done properly.
Please follow these few resources:

You can also check our forum for some insight on ssl:

Our SSL certificate is definitely set up.

The only problem we have is the Vimeo widget from Visual Basic using HTTP as a URL.

I’ve updated all of the URLs on the site and it’s still not fixed.

Hello,

We have investigated this further and found that the thumbnails will remain on http on the old videos you already had set up before moving to https. If you create a new playlist with other videos, the thumbs will be grabbed with https. The thumbs will not refresh it seems when deleting and re-creating the element. The thumbs will be kept in the database and will not make another request to grab the same thumb again. So the issue will only affect your existing plyalist. If you create a new one with different videos, they will be grabbed over https. In order to fix the current video thumbs you will have to first make a database back-up as you will have to edit the database with a search and replace plugin and change the url’s for your current video thumbnails from http to https. The video thumb url’s all look like so: http://i.vimeocdn.com/video/ You should search the database and replace the http with https.
The table from the database is called wp_postmeta

I will add this issue to our list for future updates so in a future version of the theme we can add a functionality for the playlist thumbs.

Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Bogdan

We’ve already tried that…

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Please create a back-up to your Database and contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide a link to your website and wp-admin with administrator rights. Please also include a link to this topic so we can trace the email.
Thank you!
