The current title of this post (”Chrome 44 breaks any wordpress site not able to serve in HTTPS”) seems exaggerated.
This issue does not render all non-HTTPS WP sites useless. I tried on a friend’s site and it served fine in Chrome version 44.0.2403.89.
After skimming the bug report it seems to mostly affect the login functionality and not the user-facing parts of WP. Still problematic but less severe than what it sounds like.
- lmm 11y agoIf the admin can't log in to do anything I think it's fair to say the site is broken.
- cpach 11y agoYep. But many Wordpress sites are rarely updated, and the owners of those sites need not panic :)
- martius 11y agoIt does break frontends too: assets and links URL are generated with an https:// https:// scheme, which results in assets not loaded and broken links.
