Hello,
Was the Site Health Info helpful in determining the issue?

Were you able to find anything that could help with this issue?

Hi @gfxdesigner,

I’m sorry for the late reply!

About your issue, can you please check your WordPress URL setting is using HTTPS? Local avatars are cached in the database as full URLs, which are generated using the site URL setting.

> This occurs when accessing the admin via HTTPS

Do you use HTTPS only? Or you can access your site via HTTP as well?

I no longer have the issue. It’s been some time, but I believe what I did was a find and replace on all previously uploaded Avatars and then I updated the .htaccess to rewrite any http to https for any newly added Avatars.

To answer your question, it is set to https in the WordPress URL settings.

Thanks for following up.
