Ever since I set up a micropub endpoint, I used OwnYourGram to syndicate photos I post to Instagram back to my own site. This evening I tried to post a delicious photo as usual but nothing showed on my site.

I started investigating immediately and found OwnYourGram throwing an authentication error. Then I checked my micropub endpoint script to find my site still configured as http instead of https. I changed it to the proper protocol and I also had to change the URL on my Instagram profile page.

I guess switching to HTTPS works really well, as long as you remember to change all your configuration files and profile pages accordingly. I’ll surely need to remember that. At least that’s what I learnt today.
