So, I had a client upgrade to WordPress 4.4.2 recently and all of a sudden many of their images disappeared, specifically in Chrome and Firefox.
What I noticed (forgive my being behind the times), is that WordPress introduced responsive images, which includes the srcset attribute on img tags. What it didn’t seem to do was preserve the URL scheme (HTTPS) that my client was using.
Since Google likes sites over HTTPS now, this is a big uh-oh. Here’s how we fixed it:
Drop that in your functions.php or a must-use plugin and you’ll be gold. Big thank you to this support post at WordPress.org.
Happy WP’ing!
