having installed Let’s encrypt on cloudways using a default wordpress install with Newspaper theme.
having changed wordpress HOME and SITE URL to https
everything is working, but in for example Chrome:
SSL is “green” on the admin (/wp-admin)
SSL is not “green” on the website.
saying:
”
Mixed Content
The site includes HTTP resources.
”
and sure enough, the newspaper logo, logo-mobile, bg, 8 (etc.) images are still http. So it seems Newspaper theme forces http and doesn’t serve the image files for the theme like WordPress want’s it to (as https://)
is this a general bug in Newspaper theme and if so, are you fixing it ? – is there a workaround for now ? Or am I doing something completely wrong ?
Hi,
Our theme does not add neither http nor https to the site. If you move to ssl, you have to do it properly:
Tip for switching site to https
You need to add the explicit https URL to your wp-config.php file (see the wordpress.org codex/docs on how to edit/customize your wp-config.php file)
Then you will need to do a database search/replace for old/existing images with http://sitename/uploads/image to https://
You can also follow these guides:

Thank you!
