https on YouTube Embeds

[parcyvall]

Dear Support,

the theme uses http links to embed youtube videos. This results in an unnecessary redirect chain.

Kind regards,
Simon

Hi,

Guess you have an https site.
the Https plugin should replace that by https.

Hi,

I don’t have https enabled on my site. But shouldn’t I be able to embed youtube as https never the less?

I thought this might be as simple as a little fix in the next update, am I wrong?

Kind regards,
Simon

Hi,

It’s designed to use the same protocol that users have in their site.
I understand your point, will forward to our head developer to see his opinion.

Thanks

Hi Simon,

Sure, it’s a valid request. I’ve just added the following to the next update:

$ssl_override = apply_filters( 'sf_video_youtube_ssl', false );

You can filter that and set it to true to force ssl on youtube embeds. Update due within 24 hours.

Hope that helps.

Dear Support,

where can I find this code? I searched the function.php but did not discover it.

Kind regards,
Simon

That code Ed talked about will only be available in that next update.
After that update you can add this code to the functions.php of your child theme.

function custom_force_youtube_ssl(){
   return true;
}
add_filter('sf_video_youtube_ssl', 'custom_force_youtube_ssl');
