[Support request] Footer Widget

[Samantha]

Hi

I have been given a weblink to a live graph to inlcude on my home page in the footer. However, I am not sure of the code to write in the HTML widget box?

I literally just have the weblink.

Here is one of the graphs: http://www.goldchartsrus.com/data/click/clickAUtn.php

I am trying to put it on my website footer. I have four graphs in total, and you will see the titles where they should appear under here: http://www.blockchainbullion.io

I am currently using this code in the footer html widget:

<script src=”http://www.goldchartsrus.com/data/click/clickAUtn.php&#8221; async></script>

but it doesn’t show anything

[Samantha]

well I didn’t mean for that to happen! so it seems I can’t show you the code…

is there any reason why the code won’t be working in the footer widget? it works everywhere else

[Samantha]

It doesn’t actually show anywhere on my website, its just a blank area. Perhaps I haven’t put the correct coding in

Hi Samantha,

the link in your site is a HTTPS request. The request failed as there is no valid certificate. Can you check with the provider of those services if they have a valid SSL certificate version.

Hi David

Does this mean the graph will not show on my website because they are http: rather than https: ?

I still can’t seem to get the graph to show in my footer.

At the moment I have graphs from goldcharts as it is a plugin.

However, somebody has created custom graphs for me to use and has provided me with a http web link which shows the graph.

I am trying to put the graph in each of the footer areas.

What is the correct coding to show this live graph from a weblink?

[David]

Hi Samantha, try switching out those broken links with the HTTP equivalent e.g

<a href="http://www.goldchartsrus.com/data/click/clickAUtn.php" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.goldchartsrus.com/data/click/clickAUtn.php" alt=""> </a>
<script src=”http://www.goldchartsrus.com/data/click/clickAUtn.php” async></script>

Once done we can test for mixed content concerns.

Hi David

I have removed everything from each of the footer areas, and then I have placed a HTML box in each footer area 1-4. Then I used your code with the http web links.

They are still not showing.

[David]

Hi Samantha, edited the code above can you try that.

[Samantha]

Hi David, I have tried the code and cleared my cache but it still isn’t showing.

[David]

Hi Samantha, the links in the footer widgets are still displaying as HTTPS, hence they are not working. Are you using any SSL plugin that is forcing all links to HTTPS?

Ideally, could the provider of those links server them over HTTPS?

[Samantha]

Hi David, that must be what it is! I have a plugin called: Really Simple SSL installed.

This is what the configuration currently is showing as:

(tick) SSL is enabled on your site.
(tick) Mixed content fixer was successfully detected on the front-end
(tick) An SSL certificate was detected on your site.
(tick) 301 redirect to https set: WordPress redirect
(warning) HTTP Strict Transport Security is not enabled. To enable, get Premium
(warning) Secure cookie settings not enabled. To enable, get Premium

This is what the settings currently are:

(tick) Auto replace mixed content
(tick) Enable WordPress 301 redirection to SSL
(not ticked) Enable 301 .htaccess redirect Before you enable this, make sure you know how to regain access to your site in case of a redirect loop.
(tick) Enable Javascript redirection to SSL
(not ticked) Debug
(not ticked) Stop editing the .htaccess file
(not ticked) Switch mixed content fixer hook

I would have sent a screenshot, but I am not sure how to upload the image to here! So I hope that my writing above makes sense 🙂

[David]

Try unchecking the ‘Auto replace mixed content’ and ‘Enable Javascript redirection to SSL’. Then lets see what happens. 🙂

For future ref, to add an image you need the image to be hosted somewhere and then you can add it using the img button in this editor

[Samantha]

Thanks so much it has worked! I will now update my other footer widgets with the code you sent me! Thanks so much! It had been such a huge pain for a while! finally I can see the graphs!! 🙂
