 * Hello All,
 * Kindly asking for your help to get the secure padlock to show in browser when
   visiting my site.
 * I installed the Lets Encrypt Certificate and it is Active. Yet, in multiple browsers,
   there’s no padlock icon due to Mixed Content Error on “Gateway” themed site.
 * The problem:
    There are two image URL’s that need to be changed to https.
 * What I’ve done so far:
    – Manually entered https in all Pages. – Manually entered
   https in Settings > General and Permalink. – Manually changed to https in MySQL
   databases. – Pasted ‘force domain” code into htaccess file. – Added Unique IP.–
   Installed “Better Search Replace” and “Velvet Blues” plugins. Didn’t fix. – Cleared
   Site Cache and all Browser Cache’s.
 * I don’t know what to do further! A fix would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks 
   in advance!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmixed-content-error-16%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * The problem is in your custom CSS:
 *     ```
       <!-- Begin Custom CSS -->
       <style type="text/css" id="rescue_custom_css">
   
       	.home-header-bg {
       		background:url( 'http://www.texturegraphics.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/TEX_Header.jpg' ) #e8554e no-repeat center center scroll;
       		-webkit-background-size: cover;
       		-moz-background-size: cover;
       		-o-background-size: cover;
       		background-size: cover;
       	}
       ```
   
 * and:
 *     ```
       .bg-image-header {
       		background:url( 'http://www.texturegraphics.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/TEX_Header.jpg' ) center bottom #e8554e;
       		-webkit-background-size: cover;
       		-moz-background-size: cover;
       		-o-background-size: cover;
       		background-size: cover;
       		height: 100%;
       	}
       ```
   
 * Those need to be changed to use the https:// version of the URL.

 * Thanks so much James! I’ve found the urls in the Sources panel of the Customize
   Theme Options. Can you please tell me how to edit them?
    Many Thanks

 * Not really, what you’re describing isn’t part of WordPress itself and probably
   comes from the theme.
 * What is the name of the theme you’re using?

 * Hi, it’s the Gateway theme

 * Hm, it’s not 100% clear to me in that theme, but if it’s not under the Customizer’s
   Additional CSS section, you probably just need to re-save the Header and Home
   at Customizer > Theme Options.

 * Hello James,
 * Can’t thank you enough for your help! The site is secure. I did replace and resave
   the 2 images that were causing the problem. Also, edited php with dreamweaver.
   Not sure which corrected, but I’m guessing it was your suggestion of resaving
   the images. I’m marking this ‘RESOLVED’! So again, many thanks!

 * Hello James,
    My Contact Forms are not working, After filling the details in 
   the form when I hit submit button instead of giving the success message, it is
   loading without any output, When I try to inspect the problem is as below. **“
   Mixed Content: The page at ‘[https://www.example.com/&#8217](https://www.example.com/&#8217);
   was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure script ‘[http://freegeoip.net/shutdown&#8217](http://freegeoip.net/shutdown&#8217);.
   This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.”** Please
   help me in solving this issue. Thank You Shailaja
