Twitter App serving insecure image
We've started using the Twitter App on our site and I've noticed that it's not serving images over HTTPS. Are you able to replicate on your end?
The Tweet template:
<perch:before>
<h3 class="tweet-feed-title text-center"><strong>Latest Tweets</strong></h3>
</perch:before>
<div class="panel panel-upsu tweet-feed">
<div class="panel-heading">
<img src="<perch:twitter id="tweetUserAvatar" encode="false" />" alt="<perch:twitter id="tweetUser" />" class="avatar img-circle" />
<p class="user"><strong><perch:twitter id="tweetUserRealName" /></strong>
<br />@<perch:twitter id="tweetUser" /></p>
<div class="twitter-logo pull-right">
<a href="https://twitter.com/<perch:twitter id="tweetUser" />/status/<perch:twitter id="tweetTwitterID" />" target="_blank">
<i class="fa fa-twitter fa-2x tw-text"></i>
</a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<blockquote><p><perch:twitter id="tweetHTML" encode="false" /></p></blockquote>
</div>
<div class="panel-footer">
<div class="timestamp">
<a href="https://twitter.com/<perch:twitter id="tweetUser" />/status/<perch:twitter id="tweetTwitterID" />" target="_blank">
<small><perch:twitter id="tweetDate" format="d/m/y H:i" /></small>
</a>
</div>
<div class="intents">
<a class="twitter-reply" href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?in_reply_to=<perch:twitter id="tweetTwitterID" />" style="margin-right: 15px;">
<i class="fa fa-reply"></i>
</a>
<a class="twitter-retweet" href="https://twitter.com/intent/retweet?tweet_id=<perch:twitter id="tweetTwitterID" />" style="margin-right: 15px;">
<i class="fa fa-refresh"></i>
</a>
<a class="twitter-fav" href="https://twitter.com/intent/favorite?tweet_id=<perch:twitter id="tweetTwitterID" />">
<i class="fa fa-heart"></i>
</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<perch:after>
<div class="text-center marginBottom">
<a href="https://twitter.com/<perch:twitter id="tweetUser" />" class="twitter-follow-button" data-show-count="false" data-size="large" data-show-screen-name="false">Follow @<perch:twitter id="tweetUser" /></a>
</div>
</perch:after>
I get the same result regardless of the page, I'm just using perch_twitter_get_latest()

No, we're using the
profile_image_url_httpsfield from the Twitter API response.Okay thanks, any thoughts as to what might be causing it?
Were you previously running an older version?
When I initially set the app up a few months ago it was on 3.5.1 but I was getting the same behaviour then and never got to the bottom of it. We're starting to use the app on some pages now and I updated to the latest version (3.6.2) hoping that it would resolve it but no joy, so thought I'd best reach out to you guys.
Are you looking at tweets imported with the older version or with the current version?
I've just noticed that it hasn't fetched any new ones for a couple of days but that might be my fault as I did it manually at some point this week. I'll check the cron.
But in answer to your question, I think the ones I'm looking at were imported with the previous version. Should I clear out a table in the database and refetch?
Yes, give that a go. I think it should resolve the issue.
If you're making good use of user images, be aware that Twitter does not maintain those image URLs when the user updates their avatar. https://docs.grabaperch.com/addons/twitter/profile-images/
Clearing out the tweets table has sorted it, cheers Drew!
