Using VM 3.0.8 on Joomla 3.4.1.
We have forced SSL on our whole site since that is what Google wants these days. Everything functions fine with VM, with the exception that the normal order history chart typically displayed on the VM control Panel page is blocked. Screen capture attached.
Google only recommends SSL for the front end as a small part of its ranking algorithm. I'm not sure that it is a good idea as site speed is probably more important in ranking and SSL slows the speed of page delivery.
There are probably some http calls on that page. Look at the page code, compare it to the template files and maybe change them to https and use in template overrides.
Thanks.
While it is true that Google only cares about SSL on the front, we prefer to use SSL to remotely administer our web server. I'll follow your advice re the http calls.
This is a small detail that a future virtuemart update might want to address. None of our other components display this behavior when reporting data through the back administration.
