SSL – Securing Pages

1. Clear your cache and then disable the caching plugin.

2. Using the plugin “better search and replace”, search for https://www.reliefteaching.com and replace with https://www.reliefteaching.com (no trailing slashes).

3. When done (not in dry run mode), re-enable your caching plugin.

Done, Done and Done.

Thank you so much.

Once done, you can delete the plugin “better search and replace”.

Thanks for your help Steve.

I have some pages eg https://www.reliefteaching.com/relief-teacher-pay-rates/relief-teaching-pay-and-conditions/ which by all tests on whynopadlock.com and other similar sites is secure with all links also secure but does not generate a padlock.

More importantly My membership payment page https://www.reliefteaching.com/membership/executive-annual/ is the same. It is tested as secure but does not general a lock giving an “attackers might see images ….” message.

Even after clearing cache etc the SSL lock is not featured. Any ideas?

Even when I start a new page with NO CONTENT the SSL secure padlock does not show up.

Your pages request this link: https://www.reliefteaching.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/looking-for-something.png

When you ran the plugin did you make sure that you UNCHECKED “dry run” and selected all tables *and* you cleared all caches?

By the way, I just ran “whynopadlock” against my site and got incorrect results. I wouldn’t trust it for anything definitive.

I thought I did, Steve. I ran it again and double checked UNCHECKED Dry Run. It processed the whole 118 tables.

I cleared cache. Rebooted but the same result.

Thank you for your help.

Maybe it’s in source someplace and not in the DB.

Try using this to search: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/string-locator/

Just to add to the insights shared by @sterndata

@rwbra Some of your pages have mixed content – https:// or (non-secure) requests on a https:// or (secure) connection – and that’s why they don’t have the lock.

Really Simple SSL is by far the simplest fix that I know of for this particular issue. it forces everything to go through https://

I think it must be in one of the widgets. It only happens on pages with side bars. I can track it down from here. Thanks for your help Steve.
