  • My guess is that even though the site has SSL, your other resources (such as CSS/Javascript) are not loading over SSL. What is your WordPress URL & Site URL (in the Settings > General section)?

    Im using this one https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/ssl-insecure-content-fixer/

    But problem still persists ?? Please help

    All of your CSS, JS, image files, etc. are not pulling via the https:// protocol, therefore they cannot be displayed on a secure connection.

    Rather than using the above plugins, I would highly recommend doing it the proper way, sifting through your actual WordPress database and making the necessary changes from https:// references to https://. This method may take slightly more work than a plugin, but the end result will be a properly secured WordPress site running on an https:// protocol rather than any references to https://

    Depending on your database size, downloading a copy of your database, doing a find and replace for https:// to https:// and than re-uploading the database should be a pretty simple process. As always, DEFINITELY take a full backup of your site prior to following any of these suggestions.

    Im not lazy to do that at all. I just would be very worried to mess anything up. What exactly and where exactly do I need to do this??? Which files? Codes etc?

    Im self taught wordpress and dont know much coding.

    It’s definitely a process and if you don’t feel comfortable doing it, you may want to hire somebody who is.

    With that said, the quick instructions are:

    1. Hopefully you have access via your web host to a tool like PHPMyAdmin. If so, you would go into your database, export all of the database tables and download them to your computer.

    2. Open the sql dump in a basic text editor and do a find and replace for all instances of https://yourdomain.com with https://yourdomain.com.

    3. Once complete, you could create a new database using MySQL and upload all of these new edited tables to that fresh database.

    4. You would then change your wp-config.php file within WordPress, pointing WordPress to this new database.

    5. That should be it.

    This instruction goes through the process of creating a separate database rather than overwriting the old, just in case you have any problems, you could also revert WordPress back to the old database since it would be unchanged.

    Hope this helps, I did a quick search and couldn’t find any documentation to a better written tutorial I could direct you to. Maybe we will write one in the future.

    Is this 100% safe to do? Replace all with that method? Do I leave out any? Im running a multisite, does that make any difference?
    Im just a bit hesitant to mess up my live site.
