 * I am creating a new website using wordpress, hosted on AWS. i have added ssl 
   certificate through cloudflare. the site still shows me as ‘not fully secure’.
   It shows me mixed content warning for the background images used.
    i also tried
   sing really simple ssl, but it shows me system error and asks me to change the
   wp-config.php. Please help me out, this is urgent. Thanks

 * Providing that your SSL certificate was successful, I did this once a long time
   ago and used the plugin method Really Simple SSL, but I had better success with
   [Method 2](https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-ssl-and-https-in-wordpress/)
   on the WPBeginner website.
 * As a general rule before doing anything, I always “recommend” making a site backup
   before doing anything.
 * They also have an article about [fixing Mixed Content Errors](https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-fix-the-mixed-content-error-in-wordpress-step-by-step/)…
   this might be what you are needing.

 * [@roughpixels](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roughpixels/) i tried doing
   the same but still facing the same issue.
    I also tried to use the better search
   replace plugin which changes the content from database to https, still facing
   the same issues

 * What is it wanting you to change in the wp-config.php file?
 * Also, do you have access to the admin area?
    The other question I have…is it 
   possible the SSL certificate was not set up correctly if anything might have 
   been missed? Was this SSL done through your host provider on behalf of cloudflare?
   I’m thinking maybe disable the SSL certificate and then try once again. Sometimes
   when something goes wonky on me, I will often reverse what was done and try again.

 * It’s possible that the site is still serving a cached stylesheet, that would 
   explain why the site still uses an http:// link after doing a search and replace
   on the database. Can you try to clear all caches the site uses to see if that
   resolves the issue?
