Hello,
I know this question might not fully relate to you but I thought of asking you as well.
Yesterday I bought an SSl certificate for my but it still doesn’t display
the padlock and https on the browser.
According to my hosting service, Hostgator, this is what they say, ‘There are non-secure items on your website and this is the reason you are receiving the orange lock. This can be fixed by updating your image and page links to include the HTTPS prefix. Once all non-secure items are updated, this should fix the broken padlock.’
Well I was wondering whether there’s a solution you know, or a plugin that can fix this issue.
Thank you

I posted some help info on this awhile back, you might want to search for.
Basically, you will need to do search/replace in your mysql dbase to replace all instances of http://yoursite with https://yoursite in posts
You should change the logo and favicon links in your theme panel
You should consider adding explicit paths to https site in your wp-config.php file (see wordpress.org codex/docs on how to edit that — good thing to learn)
You should also see Google’s own docs on moving from http to https as you should make sure your host theme panel has a setup to auto-redirect all http requests to https automatically with 301 redirect (or you can do this with htaccess file; but all modern web servers like Plesk Onyx have this option built in on the domain management page).
Hope that helped!
Thank you
