FIX: EasyRecipe "Save Recipe" Plugin Not Working over SSL

Symptom: Using the EasyRecipe plugin from a secure site (beginning https://), the "Save" button fails to do anything.

Cause: This is because older versions of the EasyRecipe plugin are trying to call a URL on BigOven without using https. We have contacted our friends at EasyRecipe for a fix in an update, and expect their update soon.

Fix: Meanwhile, the fix is simple and free. You simply need to replace a single Javascript file with an update. It may sound scary, but it's very simple. Follow these steps:

  1. Go into your Wordpress site's admin area
  2. Click "Plugins"
  3. Choose "EasyRecipe", then "Edit".  
  4. In the right hand side, find the file called "easyrecipe/js/easyrecipe-min.js" and click on it. As a double-check, your web address bar should now read:

    {your-recipe-blog}/wp-admin/plugin-editor.php?file=easyrecipe%2Fjs%2Feasyrecipe-min.js&plugin=easyrecipe%2Feasyrecipe.php

  5. Replace the file shown in your editor with the following code below, shown below in green. (Eagle-eyed observers will note that we're simply replacing "http://www.bigoven.com" in the original javascript file with "https://www.bigoven.com". That's it.)
  6. Save the updated file by clicking "Update File" at the bottom of the screen.

Your save button should now work in http and https versions of your site.
