#32186 closed defect (bug) (duplicate)

URL Scheme on media attachments is incorrectly set to https when administration performed over SSL

Description (last modified by SergeyBiryukov)

My site is set up as follows:

  • Administration is performed at https://example.com/wp-admin. This uses a self-signed SSL certificate to protect against eavesdropping (e.g. on public wi-fi).
  • The front-end is accessed through http://example.com.
  • Our WordPress siteurl is set to http://example.com.
  • We use define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true); in wp-config.php to enforce SSL on the admin (but not on the front-end).

In WordPress 4.2, changeset [31614] was introduced to fix ticket #15928.

Unfortunately, this has broken images on our website. As administration is being performed over SSL, wp_get_attachment_url() returns an image with the https:// URL schema. This is then saved in the post. When readers access the post through our http front-end, images will not load as the img src attribute uses https (not available due to the self-signed certificate).

Expected behaviour: wp_get_attachment_url() should use the same URL schema as siteurl (i.e. it should use the http schema as we've specifically set this in our siteurl).
