Hey Carmelo,
With the auto-suggest I have to modify with every update, might I suggest a tiny new section in the plugin’s admin/network admin area for just the “Auto Suggest” feature where you can choose on a dropdown box “Force http”, “Force https”, and “Auto”.
I’m really sorry that you are having this issue, but I don’t think this would be a good solution. We’re using core functions to pull the post links, we’re not doing anything custom, so this seems like a hackey workaround. I really think the solution needs to come from your setup as this issue could affect other plugins using get_permalink in an AJAX query. I’m not sure what that is because I don’t have FTP access to test, but I would be happy to have a look if you could get me in there.
Also, I was referring to the sample templates causing mixed content notifications in the browser. On that note, I noticed that many of the images that cause mixed content errors are referenced in the templates.dat file and css file. Do these files change much with every update of the plugin? (I would guess the css one might moreso…)
They change whenever we release new templates, which isn’t often. The data is a serialized array, so doing a standard search and replace will break it. You’ll need to do a serialized search and replace to keep the data in tact. We will be working on giving you the ability to replace core templates with your own soon.
