Pages not loading properly – SSL problem?

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi everyone, we are having some problems getting certain pages to load on our website. It used to be the entire site but now the home page loads, it’s just the other pages and posts that look like this (See screenshot).

We’re getting a lot of mixed content warnings (see screenshot), but despite having an SSL certificate and loading various plugins to replace all the http links with https AND running a couple of SQL enquiries on our C-panel database to replace the https, we’re still having this problem. Does anyone know what the problem is and how we would go about fixing it?

Many thanks

Hello strawberrybase,

If you recently switched to HTTPS make sure you have done it properly.

Also, make sure if you are using the latest version of the theme installed via FTP way. Check your plugin’s list and if you are using some untested plugins, try to disable all of them, clear all the caches and check the results. Before doing these steps, ensure that you have made a full backup to your database to avoid losing all of your data.

Thanks for your understanding!

Thank you for replying Catalin, and for your help.

It turns out the problem was with the W3 Total Cache plugin that we had installed, it had been caching the old, insecure web links on our site. We’ve emptied the cache and the site is now working fine 🙂
