Hi, there.

Many moons ago, I put a slideshow onto my client's homepage, which is built as an iframe - that's how long ago it was! It recently stopped working, and I have no idea why.

Here's the page that contains the slideshow (which currently only has one image): http://www.nourishhotyoga.com/index-slideshow-cms0.php

And this is the page that has the slideshow embedded as an iframe: https://nourishhotyoga.com/index1.php

As you can see, the iframe doesn't show up on the page, but it does as a standalone page.

Does anyone have any suggestions, please? Does it have anything to do with http and https?

Hi, CommonSenseDesign.

Without delving too far into code, I'm suggesting you locate any http:// references in both files associated with this page and update those to match the https:// of this site.

I think an iframe referenced as http:// instead of https:// when called from a secure site will not display.

You might want to also update any other http:// files (such as jQuery or fonts) and make those https://, as well.

Probably the site was updated to have an SSL since you built it. Hope that helps, but it might not address the full issue.

Hi CommonSenseDesign,

Deborah is exactly right - browsers will no longer load insecure resources (HTTP) on a secure page (HTTPS) - this includes things like iframes. Updating HTTP to HTTPS will very likely fix the issue.

Cheers,
