Title: Broken images displaying over HTTP vs HTTPS Last modified: December 16, 2020 --- # Broken images displaying over HTTP vs HTTPS * Resolved [Russ](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gfxdesigner/) * (@gfxdesigner) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-images-displaying-over-http-vs-https/) * Hello, * I have an issue where newly uploaded avatars are being called over HTTP instead of HTTPS and therefore are showing up as broken images. This occurs when accessing the admin via HTTPS, so I am unclear why it’s using HTTP for the img src. * While I can do a find and replace to fix the broken links, do you have any ideas how this can be avoided for future avatar additions? * Thanks.

Local avatars are cached in the database as full URLs, which are generated using the site URL setting. * > This occurs when accessing the admin via HTTPS * Do you use HTTPS only? Or you can access your site via HTTP as well? * Thread Starter [Russ](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gfxdesigner/) * (@gfxdesigner) * [4 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-images-displaying-over-http-vs-https/#post-14569408) * I no longer have the issue. It’s been some time, but I believe what I did was a find and replace on all previously uploaded Avatars and then I updated the . htaccess to rewrite any http to https for any newly added Avatars. * To answer your question, it is set to https in the WordPress URL settings. * Thanks for following up.
