Use the simple [http-url]
shortcode to convert any URL to either HTTP or HTTPS.
The Shortcode
[http-url]
By default the [http-url]
shortcode will output the URL of the current post converted to HTTP. Note: must be used within the loop.
Shortcode Attributes
url
– manually specify the URL to be converted (can be used outside the loop):
[http-url url=”https://mysite.com”]
to_https
– convert URL to HTTPS, instead of to HTTP:
[http-url to_https=”true”]
PHP Usage
HTTP URLs also provides two functions that can be used in your php:
hu_get_http_url( $url ); // Returns URL converted to HTTP
hu_get_https_url( $url ); // Returns URL converted to HTTPS
Why Use This Plugin?
The most common case for using this plugin is in conjunction with social media sharing/commenting plugins, in which data is tied to a specific URL. On sites that are visible via both HTTP and HTTPS, this means that two different sets of differing data are created for every page. HTTP URLs provides a handy solution to this common problem.
