Is linktracking still http?

I’ve just noticed that one of my chrome profiles is blocking a link to a PDF document I included on the content of the message to be sent. I thought it was my mistake as I might have put the link to a http URL but then realised it was also so in previous sent emails.

With the increasing restrictions being imposed by Chrome mainly, I understand this might be an issue as many people receiving the email might decide not to “confirm” the download.

I am not 100% sure that this is caused by the redirect for the click tracking but guessing so as the destination is a google drive document link in PDF format

I see something similar to this on my emails source code for any link:

Is it anyway to disable click tracking just for an email?

At this point, you should use https…

In your config.php file, it should have these lines :

// Public protocol
// phpList will automatically use the protocol you run the admin interface on for clicktrack links and
// tracking images
// but if you want to force this to be http, when you eg run the admin on https, uncomment the below line
// see also https://mantis.phplist.com/view.php?id=16611
define(‘PUBLIC_PROTOCOL’,‘https’);

// Admin protocol
// similar to the above, if you need to force the admin pages on either http or https (eg when behind a
// proxy that prevents proper auto-detection), you can set it here
define(‘ADMIN_PROTOCOL’,‘https’);
