I have a private SSL certificate and it’s working properly on my eCommerce site, DickeyBub.net, however my page includes other resources which are not secure. I went to WhyNoPadlock.com and found out what items are not secure on that page and it turns out that its a couple of images. I’ve talked with support from my host and they said I need to change the images from a URL to absolute path, but I also know that WP is URL based.
I’m a bit confused at this point and was wondering what the next step is. I really hope you can help.
No problem, however, I just visited your site, and some content hasn’t been SSLed, like the YouTube video, etc. That will cause errors. Make sure iframes, images, scripts, etc. all have HTTPS going on, even if it’s from a 3rd party. If the 3rd party doesn’t offer HTTPS, then your visitors will get “other resources are not secured” warning from the browser.
What about images that are embed from a url that is on my website. Since I have private SSL can I just change the URL from HTTP to HTTPS and that will fix it.
I am now having a problem with my header. For some reason the header is not showing up and I think it’s because the image isn’t https, but I don’t know how to change it. I’ve tried re-uploading it, but that didn’t quite do it. Any ideas?
It’s not in your style.css file. It is in the source of your page, do a right-click and “view source”. You’ll find what I’m talking about in there.
On Line 57: #header { background:#fff url('https://dickeybub.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/header_db43.png' no-repeat top center; }
I’m not sure if you’re running a plugin that adds that to the source or if that’s part of your theme structure so I can’t tell you if you exactly where to edit the CSS.
I’ve never used ‘view source’ before. When I did it my line 57 was different. Do I change the code in there or what does that do for me?
Thanks for having patience with me.
