Subscribe buttons don't work

Developer help
1

Hello,

My site: https://blog.linuxdeveloper.io

The subscribe buttons don’t do anything (top right corner and bottom of page). I have checked for javascript errors in the console but don’t see anything relevant.

This is with the “headline” theme.

  • Version: 5.25.0
  • Environment: Production
  • Database: mysql8
  • Mail: SMTP

Am I doing something wrong?

The needed JavaScript is blocked: use Inspect > Network and reload, and you’ll see member/ and yellow-square.png are blocked: mixed-content.

Thanks, I do see that in the javascript console. How do I fix that? Is this a mistake with the template?

4

It caused by mixed http / https content. In this case, your SSL certificate is valid.

Yes, I understand, but why is it happening. Does this mean there is an error in the template? Do I need to find the places in the template where it is using http and change it to https?

Like you said, my SSL certificate is valid.

C’mon, you’re a developer! :slight_smile: You’re serving both http and https content through Ghost and the Nginx proxy.

It’s got nothing to do with the template; you misconfigured Ghost and Nginx.

What’s you Nginx config like?

In this case, your Ghost config has the URL as http://blog.linuxdeveloper.io/ instead of https://blog.linuxdeveloper.io/. All URLs generated by Ghost will use the URL you configured there which is why you’re seeing the issue.

To fix this, run ghost config set url https://blog.linuxdeveloper.io/ in your ghost installation directory, and then restart ghost with ghost restart.

@vikaspotluri123 thank you very much for the detailed instructions. I didn’t realise I had the url set to http instead of https.

I updated it to https, and now everything is working as expected.

Thank you!
