Hello, I recently changed my site (www.r3sist.com) to HTTPS so that it wouldn’t appear unsecure in Chrome. However, now I’m getting issues where some of the images on the site aren’t loading – and when I diagnose it via the Chromo developer panel, it’s giving me errors like the one below. Looks like the images aren’t being served via HTTPS, so it’s not loading them all in. Do you have any tips to solve this? Here is the example error message I’m seeing:
Mixed Content: The page at ‘https://r3sist.com/’ was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image ‘http://r3sist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/deutsche-bank-ignores-u-s-trumprussia-query-democratic-staffer’. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.
Yes, you need to do a search/replace in your MySQL dbase using PhpMyAdmin to replace all instances of http to https in your posts. The theme doesn’t control that in any way.
There are several tutorials online about converting your WP site from http to https, so likely good to go search for those. I did mine years back so don’t have link handy, sorry.
It’s also useful to explicitly put the https URL in your wp-config.php file — see the WordPress.org ‘codex’ (official docs) on how to edit the wp-config.php file.
Learning process – but no ‘automatic’ way to do this for you.
