[joe frescoln]

I Have found mixed content and I bought Really Simple Pro to fix it, but I’m not sure how to proceed.

Hi Joe,

the site still loads some images over http://, which results in the mixed content warning. These images are coming from your own domain and should be fixed by clearing all caches the website uses.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

I think I’m having the same issue at http://www.firstlutherandecorah.org. How do I clear all the caches the website uses as you mentioned above? Thank you for your help.

[Mark]

Hi Chad,

your site is using the Divi theme which has a built-in caching mechanism. The Divi cache can be cleared as described here: https://really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/mixed-content-when-using-divi-theme/. Clearing the Divi cache should result in the site having the secure lock.

[Chad Huebner]

Mark, thank you for the help! I had to do a bit more fussing, but I think everything is working as it should now.

hi im having the same problem with my site http://www.mylifedrivingschool.com.au
ive installed the free really simple SSL but it seems to not work?
do I nee to purchased Pro?
I have two photos that causing this but I want to keep the photos.
the pages that he photos are not on my ssl certificate works
can someone please advise me
😊🙏

You have this issue because you are using Elementor on your site. Elementor has the habit of storing hardcoded URL’s to images in css files, which cannot be fixed dynamically.

To fix this, you should open the editor for this post, then change the image which has this problem to https, then save. This will regenerate the css file.

Hello Rogier

Thank you so much for your reply. You the only one that did. Did you mean I should open Elementors Editors or WordPress. This is my first time doing this sort of thing. Your help is much appreciated. 😬🙏

Truly
Peter

Hi Peter,

you can change the http:// links to https:// in the Elementor editor.

Hi could you please advise?
I had the same issue, i installed the really simple ssl plugin but then it caused the folowing issues on abiliti.co website. I also uninstaled it then hoping it would fix the issue, but it didn’t help.

Some sites are opening normally such as abiliti.co/artificial-intelligence whereas others are not.
on top of it all the site has become very slow.

Please help how to fix this.

[Mark]

Hi,

since Really Simple SSL is not active, the site still tries to load resources over http://. To fix this you can install Really Simple SSL and clear all caches the website uses or update the links to use https:// manually. The site currently loads in under 800ms, redirect included, which is pretty fast.

Hi I added the Really Simple SSl plugin to https://twinlperformance.com and ran a test on http://www.whynopadlock.com which came back with 4 issues. It looks like the same image is causing the problem. Can you help or suggest what I need to do, I am not a pro so any pointers would really be appreciated. Thank you

Hi Jennie,

your site uses some external links for your images: http://59j.201.myftpupload.com. To fix this, you can perform a search and replace on the database, using a tool like Better Search Replace (https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/) to replace http://59j.201.myftpupload.com with https://twinlperformance.com.

[Jennie Heal]

Mark,

Thank you so much for your guidance and suggestion. I did as you stated and I had some replacements made. I then ran another test on whynopadlock and received this new message:

Soft Failure An image with an insecure url of “http://59j.201.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/quote-1.png” was loaded on line: 568 of https://twinlperformance.com/.
This URL will need to be updated to use a secure URL for your padlock to return.

This URL will need to be updated to use a secure URL for your padlock to return.

I ran another search and replace and received this message:

DRY RUN: 47 tables were searched, 0 cells were found that need to be updated, and 0 changes were made.

Where else do you suggest I try to get these two new fixes done?
Thanks a bunch, Jennie

[Mark]

Hi Jennie,

your site also seems to be using Elementor which can require some additional steps before the site becomes fully secure. Can you also do this search and replace in Elementor as described here: https://really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/how-to-fix-mixed-content-in-elementor-after-moving-to-ssl/? That should get your site the secure lock.

[Jennie H]

Thank you Mark – you are the best!! All resolved thank to you and Really Simple SSL.
Could not have done it without you. Jennie

[Lulu]

Good day Mark

I followed the advise you gave on this link https://really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/how-to-fix-mixed-content-in-elementor-after-moving-to-ssl/

I am very grateful because my site is now fully secure,I could not have done it without your help THANK YOU.

I still have an issue of my site not loading my pictures and I really need them. How can I get my site to load my pictures over https:// and not over http:// . I read the posts but I am still very confused.

On the far right corner of my website I get an icon that say “Insecure Content Blocked – This page is trying to load scripts from unauthenticated sources. Load unsafe scripts” When I click on “Load unsafe scripts” that’s when I get to see my images. How can I fix this? Your help will be much appreciated.

I also ran the web address on http://www.whynopadlock.com and got a lot of info that I do not understand and can’t solve.

Thanks…

[Mark]

Hi Lulu,

it’s possible your site uses a caching plugin which still uses some http:// links. You can try to clear all caches the website uses to see if that solves your issue. If you can provide me with your site address, I can have a look to see what the issue might be.

Hi Jeff,

those images seem to be coming from your own domain, this can usually be fixed by clearing all caches the website uses. Can you try to clear all caches to see if that fixes your issue?

Mark

[Dan]

For the life of me i can’t seem to get the Home Page with a lock symbol.
The rest of the site is good.
I did check http://www.whynopadlock.com Totally Passed. No mixed Content.
Can you assist?

[Mark]

Hi Dan,

if the whynopadlock test passed, you might have some cached stylesheets in your browser. You could try to clear your browsers cache to see if that resolves the issue. Does the site show a secure lock when visited in a different browsers? If you can provide me with your site address I might be able to tell you more about the issue.

I have tried resolving the mixed content problem following your instructions here
( https://really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/how-to-fix-mixed-content-in-elementor-after-moving-to-ssl/)

but the problem persists, what should i do

[Mark]

Hi,

possibly there’s another link outside of Elementor that uses http://. Can you provide me with your site address so I can have a look? You can also follow this guide to find where the mixed content is coming from: https://really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/how-to-track-down-mixed-content-or-insecure-content/
