If you haven’t received this message yet from Facebook, we encourage you to check and make the proper updates asap as the due date is just around the corner.
All our themes have complied with the new HTTPS rule for months. But older clients who haven’t updated any of our themes will need to follow the update instructions for both theme and Facebook Login APP.
Here is the complete announcement from Facebook.
We’re requiring that all uses of Facebook Login come from pages served over HTTPS by October 6, 2018. All Facebook Login redirects or access tokens must use HTTPS, and insecure access calls will stop working on October 6, 2018.
Be sure to enable HTTPS by this date so that your URLs redirect properly and your app is not affected.
HTTPS helps keep transmitted information private and helps protect the security of people using your app and Facebook Login. If you are currently using HTTP, you can follow these instructions to enable HTTPS.
