connection partially encrypted

    We recently added an SSL certificate to our website, and I was under the impression that this would fix any security issues we might have. However, when I look at the site now there is a warning about it having unencrypted elements. I researched this, and it seems that the problem is that there are still some elements on the page which use http. So my question is how do I fix this? I followed the instructions on this site, and then added the plugin SSL Insecure Content Fixer. This did not seem to fix the problem (but it could be that I still don’t have the settings on the plugin right).
    Here is a link to my site. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I’m very new to all of this.

    The SSL is working. However, it looks like some of the images and fonts on the page are using http because they are hard-coded. They start like http://www.victory… etc. in the HTML and CSS.

    To view a list of images and fonts that start with http:// in Chrome you can go to Tools > Developer Tools. Click on the “Console” tab.

    Basically, you may need to edit the CSS. That is where some of the http:// URLs are coming from.

    Check /themes/eshop/custom.css and /themes/eshop/style.css. You can search the file for “http”. Change them to begin with https://www. etc.

    Hopefully this will get you on the right track. If you need more help, just let me know!

    Thank you. I did this and it seemed to help, but when I look at the console, I still see the following message: “Mixed Content: The page at ‘https://victorybaptistpress.com/cart/’ was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image ‘http://victorybaptistpress.com/v2/wp-content/uploads/…’ This content should also be served over HTTPS.”
    When I look at these images in my media library, it gives the URL as https://, but obviously it is not being sent to the web page that way. I’m not sure how to change this.

    Is this issue solved? the /cart/ seems to be loading well over https.

    For your home page to be https you need to edit /themes/eshop/css/flexslider.css to add https://www. to a couple of images.

    Yes it has been resolved, a friend was able to fix the problem, but I am not sure exactly how he did so. Thank you for your help
