Site problems, An Error Occurred

[cwagular]

Wanted to add my reply to the chorus to say that I am also having this problem. Looking at the developer console solution on page 3, hopefully that will work.

[RavensSickness]

So, I've tried this on Skyrim Nexus, Fallout 4 Nexus and a few others. When clicking manual download, view requirements, or anything that should have a popup window. I get a little window with a Red Header reading "An Error Occurred" I have a screen-shot of this for you to see. I can't download anything, can't use either manual of download with manager, can't view mod requirements, things of that sort.

Also going to attach image.

 

Edit by Dark0ne for those reading this and ignoring everything I've written because you can't be bothered to read the replies for an answer:

 

This is happening because you are either browsing the site using HTTPS, or you're using a plugin in your browser (like Everywhere SSL) that does this for you. Nexus Mods does not currently support SSL so trying to force it to use SSL isn't going to work and will not improve your security in any way, shape or form on Nexus Mods.

 

The fix for this is to disable any plugins that try and force SSL on Nexus Mods and ensure that you are browsing the site via http://www.nexusmods.com and NOT https://www.nexusmods.com. If you would like a fully secure login please login on the forums. This will also log you into the Nexus sites themselves.

 

Our new site redesign will have SSL enabled by default but the redesign is still many weeks away from launching so unless you want to wait until it's out (weeks), YOU will need to make some changes in your browser for Nexus Mods to work for you.

Thanks you're an absolute legend

I was able to work around this issue for a few days by using incognito mode to log in, but as of today that has also stopped working.

 

 

Even after opening the site in incognito mode and then forcibly disabling ssl, such that chrome puts a big red crossed-out https on the url to show me how unsafe I am being, this issue is persisting.

For Chrome, clearing cookies and selectively disabled HTTPS Everywhere for just NexusMods.com allows me to login and download using HTTP.

I got kind of annoyed at https having issues with downloading but not letting me stay logged in, so here's a Greasemonkey script that'll let you use https and download at the same time.

Worked for me too, I was getting a "Too many redirect" error when trying to use HTTP

Works for NMM links, but with manual download I still get errors. Still, I really appreciate you taking the time to make a script. This situation is really annoying.

I installed firefox and have been using it to download mods that way since I made my last post. Not a huge deal but whatever.

[xStormer]

In Chrome, I just changed the URL from https:// to http:// and it worked.

[DeathOfTime]

i just copy pasted the basic nexus com address into edge. i don't use that browser normally. so none of the browser customizations are there to interfere.

 

thanks for this thread. it helped immensely.

 

i had tried multiple times to change it to http. even disabled the plugin that caused the issue. was still getting the error. created the account and paid the minimum amount. (i don't have more then that free in my current budget). then looked over the forum. found the how to report thread first. tried the test download. then decided to look around before trying chat. found this. logged into my account on edge to download the manager, using the basic address.

 

still have yet to see how the mod manager works. will add a exception to this site in the plugin i use if i still need to download from the site.
