    Hi,
    Since a few days, I use the SSL certificate from my host, on my website but there is mixed content loading files over HTTP within the page that is HTTPS. Google also recommends securing your site with SSL, that’s why I thougth, this might be a great idea, but I need to remove the mixed content! And how I am going to do that? I have no idea an no experiances with SSL!

    I made sure, that my domain, in my backend of WordPress, starts with https:// and I also added this code to .htaccess as recomendet from the host:

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^ihredomain\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,L,R=301]

    So far so done, but no change. The SSL icon on the top is still showing insecurenes.

    So, with this link I found out that for example, this image is loading with http:// instead of https://

    I thought, how I am going to change this direction? As a beginner, I have nooo idea. So I installed this plugin:
    SSL Insecure Content Fixer
    but still no change!

    What the hell I have to do that this protocoll is working well. I hope you can tell me.

    Thank you

    Hi Btina,

    The only way around is to find ALL links that start with http: and replace this with https: in the database. I used a tool called Better Search Replace to find all occurrences of http://domainname.com and replace it https://domainname.com. This worked for me in ensuring that all my links were using the new secure mode.

    I did not use the REWRITE.

    In addition, if you right click on your home page and view the source code using Chrome or FF, do a search for http:// and you will find that your logo may also be not using the secure https://…just change it and you should be fine.

    Hi Slui,
    Thank you for you’re respond! Sounds logical but It might sound a bit strange to you but I don’t know what you mean with databas. Can you give me an example so I can follow up all my issues directions. The rest is clear to me.

    Thank you very much
