I just updated to version 7.4 and now the stylesheets do not load when using a secure connection. The previous version would load not matter if a user when to http or https. The site is hcnews.com.
It will load correctly using http but breaks when using https.
I did update both the visual composer and the social share plugins.
The update from version 6 to 7 did hose the settings and I had to start over with all the default settings.

Is there a setting I missed somewhere?
Thanks,

I am using a child theme, but only the functions.php file.

Make sure the link in the child theme was changed to https.
Ideally for Google you should only serve ONE version, via https, and redirect all other non https requests to the https version of your site.
Also avoids the new (!) warning icon in Chrome for non https sites.
Also, useful to choose to make everything https, by search/replace image links in mysql dbase and also add explicit https link to website in wp-config.php
Seriously, ideally only serve ONE version of site (https) and you won’t have any such issues in future 🙂
Chris,
Thanks for the quick response. I don’t know where to change the link to the child theme to be https.
I understand about making the site all https, but I have several links on the website from outside sources. They cannot provide me with secure links to their iframes and javascript. If I switch the site to always use https, those parts of the site will not work properly. I have tried to only use https connections on the site that require it.
Thanks,
Rick
Got it working with some changes on Cloudflare and the SSL settings there.
Thanks,
