    I’m having problems with the CBOX-theme for my GroupBlogs. Here’s an example GroupBlog address: https://adanders.wp.d.umn.edu/sp13a/.

    In chrome, the cbox theme loads without formatting.

    In firefox and safari, the theme works, but introduces some odd characters on the byline: see example here:

    Other themes (twenty-twelve, P2) see to work fine. Could anyone help me debug this? Thanks!

    It looks like you’re running your site on HTTPS and the cbox-theme does not switch the CSS file over to HTTPS. This is a bug; I’ve just created a ticket for this here:
    https://github.com/PressCrew/infinity/issues/78

    If you’re on HTTPS, Chrome blocks regular HTTP requests. Hence, the CSS is being blocked. Read this Chrome article for more details:
    https://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1342714

    About the icon bug, we’ve had some reports about this in the past. What are you using for your server? Windows or Linux?

    Thanks for the help. I had a suspicion it was the SSL.  The server is Linux, Apache 2.0

    @adanders

    Can you verify a few things for us?

    Login to the WP dashboard and navigate to “Settings > General” and list down what you have for the Site Address and WordPress Address fields.

    Thanks!

    @ray I’m not seeing Site Address/Wordpress Address listed in either the Network Admin or Individual Site admin pages. I did check the “WP_Options” Database tables and the url and home for the subdirectory sites is http://adanders … (under the permalink settings menu the address is also http:// …) Is this the problem? Should I manually change the address for https:// in each of the subsites?

    Hi Abram,

    I forgot you were using Multisite!

    Yes, try manually navigating to the individual site’s “Settings > General” and changing the addresses to SSL and see if that fixes your problem.

    If that doesn’t work, I came across this article saying that Better WP Security can automatically force SSL on a WP network:
    http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/48459/switching-multisite-installation-from-http-to-https

    Give those solutions a shot and let us know if that works for you.
