Favicon coming through as HTTP

Posted in: Newspaper

My favicon is not showing in browsers. When I Inspect and click on the Console Developer Tool in chrome I am getting this error:

Mixed Content: The page at ‘https://travel-verona.com/’ was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure favicon ‘http://travel-verona.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/TravelVeronaFavicon-300×300.png’. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

The URL for my favicon in the theme panel is this: https://travelverona.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/TravelVeronaFavicon-300×300.png

Why is it then pushing as HTTP instead of HTTPS and how can I fix it?

Hello @misadventuremedia!

You should set it as https not http. You have to use an SSL plugin to fix it and then try to activate it again -> https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/fix-mixed-content-wordpress/ -> https://wordpress.org/plugins/really-simple-ssl/

Thank you!

I downloaded and ran that plugin, and that did not fix it. Any other options? I have never had this issue on a website before

Hello @misadventuremedia!

Make sure you have not http URLs: https://app.screencast.com/bfMmxjAmdUOy8
Try to set up the favicon like this: Appearance -> Customize -> Site Identity -> Select site icon -> upload the favicon and press Publish.

Hope that helps you!

Thank you!
