    Hi,

    I was reviewing the Gateway theme at https://wordpress.com/theme/gateway and wondered if the theme is being updated, Or if it’s an older theme that is no longer under development.

    I noticed there’s a broken image icon in the Video URL and Video Content section.

    Also, the example for adding a call to action button uses http instead of https.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there!

    Gateway is one of the older themes.
    Are you referring to errors on the theme’s demo page, or the overview?

    staff-mckluskey,

    Hi. I believe @lireodesigns refers to a broken image in the Video URL and Video Content section of the Gateway overview. The image is missing from the bottom of the section, where you’ll find the image slug “video-url-content,” followed by an empty space where the image should be.

    Hmm, I think all images are displaying fine for me, unless I’m looking at something else.
    This is what I see on my end:

    Is the image from the bottom no displaying on your end?

    Thank you, staff-mckluskey, for the background information about the Gateway theme. From what I read on the theme page, it seemed to indicate it was an older theme.

    For the missing image, @musicdoc is correct. As I mentioned in my support request, I was referring to the missing image (last image) in the Video URL and Video Content section on the theme page.

    Checked it on two browsers on desktop, Firefox and Chrome, as well as mobile Chrome. The image was missing on all three browsers.

    Hm, that’s odd. I can see it as well, but we’ll look into it, thanks!

    Here’s a screenshot of the missing image on Gateway theme page

    Hi there!

    Thank you for that screenshot – that helps! It looks like that file happened to still be linking to a private file which is why WordPress.com staff could still see it (since we have access to those files) and you and @musicdoc1 could not.

    I let the team who is responsible for those theme pages to update that image so it’s publicly accessible. I can’t give an estimate of when that page will be updated, but if you need to see the content of that image, you can refer to staff-mckluskey’s screenshot above.

    Thanks again!

    Thank you for the update. Can you also let the team know there’ a reference to http, not https, in the call to action button section?

    Are you referring to this?

    <a href="http://example.com" class="button">Button Text</a>

    If so that’s to be expected as not every website uses https so that’s just the URL we chose for the code example.

    If not, can you be more specific and I’ll pass that along to the team as well? Thanks!

    @lireodesigns and @musicdoc1 that image should be fixed for you now!

    Hi helper-heroponriki,

    Yes, I’m referring to the example code for the button text.

    As you know, leading by example, using https instead of http, helps WordPress users to know what is the best coding practice.

    As you know, leading by example, using https instead of http, helps WordPress users to know what is the best coding practice.

    That’s a great point, but without the context of what https does and how to get that added to a site it could cause more issues. While we add https to WordPress.com sites by default, other users of WordPress need to set that separately by configuring a SSL certificate with their hosting provider.

    I’ve seen many support threads on the WordPress.org forums where people just add https in the Site/WordPress URL settings and completely break their site. Since this theme is available for sites not hosted here at WordPress.com and those site owners use this documentation to set up that theme, we do need to be cognizant of that. :)

    Thanks again for the feedback!
