Bug Description

Hello,

This is my first time using Wallch and it is great!
But I cant make the Picture of the Day display a description and as you stated yourselves the description makes the picture much more interesting.

I am using Ubuntu 15.04 and I havent noticed any error message so far.
I will try to take a look at the system log latter.

Thanks.

Hey there, Danilo!

Thanks a lot for your bug report!

It must have to do with Wikipedia's transition to HTTPS, but I will have to look into it :D

I can reproduce this, so you don't have to look into any system logs!

@ Alex Solanos,
Thanks Man, You are a genius. I have had this problem for more than a year on my Ubuntu 14.04, when I first installed it in early 2014 it was fine and then all of a sudden the image description disappeared. I have been looking since then and found nothing until today. Without image description the wallpaper is just like anyother and can sometimes loose you. Once again thank You very much.
