If you have Really Simple Security Pro installed, you might get the warning that your site contains a reference to an external resource that cannot load over SSL.
If this file is from a third-party service you are using, it’s best to contact the vendor and request if the service can be provided over SSL as well. If that is not possible, you can try the steps below. Please take care not to violate any intellectual property rights: always ask permission to use files on your own server before you do.
For example, if a page contains this HTML:
<img src=”http://www.not-your-domain.com/image.jpg”>
And that domain does not have an SSL certificate, this image won’t load on SSL.
To fix this you should:
- Download the file to your computer (please take care not to violate intellectual property rights, contact the owner if necessary)
- Upload it to your website with an FTP client (such as FileZilla), for example to wp-content/uploads
- Change the URL to your own domain, for example to www.domain.com/wp-content/uploads/yourfile.jpg
Or you can, of course, choose to remove the image.
If this is a .css file or a .js file, you can try this as well, but it may depend on local resources to work. If that is the case, downloading the file will break the dependencies.
