WordPress at MHC requires secure content. This means that when embedding content from external sources users will need to use HTTPS for everything. If external services don’t offer media via HTTPS users should create URL links to the content rather than embedding it.

Users that embedded content from HTTP sites during the first year WordPress was available at MHC (2015) may find that some site content does not load correctly. This content should be re-embedded using HTTPS connections, should be removed from the site, or should be linked to via URL.
