Safe Site in HTTPS. Offer HTTP. How? (9)

Safe Site in HTTPS. Offer HTTP. How?

Iv setup a Wordpress safe site in https.

Money page is iframed in https within safe site domain.

Outbound landing page CTA, even through an https tracking link, necessarily redirects to http offer.

Offer page now blocked in Chrome for "unsafe" content probably because of the redirection from https to http.

How do you get around this?

Is the offer really blocked? I think Chrome gives a warning but that’s it.

We have several campaigns running where the only not encrypted part of the funnel is the final offer and CR hasn’t changed.

You can´t get around it, it´s outside of your reach.
For example you could tell your AM about it so that he can try to get the advertiser to setup a HTTPS URL.
But apart from that there´s not much you can do.
When the user leaves your landing page it´s out of your control.

Ok maybe I did not express myself well.

Offer is not blocked. Chrome seems to block it because the outbound tracking link on my landing page is https and this redirects to an http offer. If you load the offer by itself on Chrome it's no problem.

@twinaxe yeah but you cannot tell your AMs to keep asking adv's to turn all offers you run into https. Actually there are things you can do, I'm just not well versed on php and javascript to set this up. My cloaking guys told me you can setup JS for instance that reloads the parent window on outbound lp action with the offer and that does not trigger Chrome safe warning because it loads a new window and not redirecting in the current one from https to http.

Sure, I also wouldn´t bother my AMs with such stuff.
But in the end you can´t do anything about it.
You only have control over your tracking links, landing pages...
When the user gets redirected from your lander to the offer you can´t do anything.
After your landing page the user gets redirected through the networks tracking link which is in networks responsibility.
From there the user gets redirected to the offer what is in advertisers responsibility.

Edit:

Ok, maybe you can do it that way.
I am also not too techical for such stuff.

You can adjust your landing page to just open the offer links in a new tab. Where the outbound landing page links go doesn't matter at the moment.

We would know. After all, we came up with the iFrame method.

Sorry, I didn't know the query pertained to us. Since we offer 24/7 support, different team members are responsible for their region's hours. I just got on for my shift a few hours ago.

In reviewing the chat, your setup seems a bit more complicated. You should have just let us know if you required additional help with the code. Our support team are all developers and happy to do it for you!

Will follow-up in the chat shortly with the codes.

Navigating or redirecting to an HTTP URL in an iframe embedded in an HTTPS page is not permitted by modern browsers, even if the frame started out with an HTTPS URL.

Alternatively, you can just reinitialize your iframe links by opening the links to a new window or in the parent window as this will reload everything and will allow HTTP.

To load on the same window:
<a target="_parent" />

To load on a new window:
<a target="_blank" />
