 * Hey everyone Quick question about the mixed content fixer. Does it automatically
   run in the background after activation, or do I need to manually trigger a scan
   for new images I upload later? Just curious about the workflow. Thanks

 * Hi [@dyson15](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dyson15/),
 * You won’t have to rerun any scan: the Mixed Content Fixer dynamically replaces
   any leftover `http://` resources on the frontend to `https://`
 * Also, any images/resources that you upload to the site after it had already been
   properly configured for HTTPS with the plugin should use the correct `https://`
   protocol from the start and won’t need fixing anyway 🙂
 * Kind regards, Jarno
