Hi there,

I modified our head_customer.tpl several years ago with links to our blog, facebook page and twitter page. We haven't had any problems until yesterday when a customer emailed us and was very concerned about the warnings she got when she tried to check out.

It freaked me out a little and I contacted our webhost. She told me it was the link to twitter that caused the warnings. So I removed it (I'm not sure if it was the link I have in the header or the social bookmarks add-on I had installed... but I thought it was more likely the change I had done rather than an add-on you pay for ). Anyway, I still have the links to our blog and facebook in the head_customer.tpl and now I'm wondering if they are causing the same issues. I asked our host, but never heard back. I guess they thought their job was done. And I can't see this warning myself.

Is there a way for me to check this? And does anyone know if links in the head_customer.tpl will cause issues when you move from http to https? Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated, since this is all slightly beyond my grasp of understanding. I just don't want to scare off new customers (although she may have been an alarmist... especially considering that she tried to sell me on her website development company....)

I will attach the screen dumps my customer sent me.

Thanks a million!
Oh, and here is a link to our site if you want to look at this header:

External links don't cause security warnings - things called insecurely do, like images or scripts. So yes, you should hide things like the social bookmarks, images called from other sites, etc. But standard links to other sites won't cause warnings, but you should remove those from the checkout anyway as you want as few distractions in there as possible for the customer!
