 * When we use the export function, the media urls are all http instead of https.
   Can you kindly help us identify why that may be?
 * Thank you!

 * Hi [@dragonweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dragonweb/) ,
 * The possible reason could be that, SSL certificate wasn’t active initially on
   the website (during development or early launch). The certificate was installed
   later on and images were never migrated to https after migration to https. There
   could be other possible reasons, but this is the most common reason.
 * Hope it helps.
 * Thanks

 * Hi there,
 * Thanks for your reply. However that doesn’t’ seem to be the case. Our database
   URLs are all https, and the site has always had an SSL certificate.
 * Is there any other reason this could happen?
 * Thank you!

 * This issue arose for me and the problem was that in my settings the home url 
   and site url had not been changed to https even though ssl/tls was configured
   a long time ago.
 * Fixing this resolved the content security policy from blocking (as we have https:
   allowed for image-src)
