We are starting to transition to having our site run under both http and https. 1. the Mautic WP plugin will not allow the “//:my.url” so the browser can make the link in the desired protocol, having a mismatch causes some browsers and security apps to complain, which causes visitors to leave. 2. will a session that begins as http, then switches to https be counted as 2 sessions? 3. anything else I need to watch out for? ---

Mautic should consistently run under one protocol. For resources that support HTTPS, I would suggest that you always load them that way versus trying to use `//url` as it really makes no difference in the end for HTTP requests whether the resource uses HTTP or HTTPS (it’s a bit more strict in HTTPS, as you’ve noticed). So if your Mautic installation supports HTTPS, then configure the WordPress plugin to the HTTPS URL. ---
