Title: Mixed content over HTTPS Last modified: September 1, 2016 --- # Mixed content over HTTPS * Resolved [sbskamey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sbskamey/) * (@sbskamey) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mixed-content-over-https/) * Hi Community, * I need some help on this. I am not a developer so please bear with me. * I have recently got my host to switch on the SSL and the site is now secure. However in the search console, I am still getting error messages like this: * Mixed Content: The page at ‘[https://xxxxx.com’](https://xxxxx.com’); was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image ‘[http://xxxxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/sbs-300.png’](http://xxxxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/sbs-300.png’);. This content should also be served over HTTPS. * Can someone please shed some light on why my wp-content/uploads folder is not being served over HTTPS? * Thanks so much! * Kaam Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * [Borge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joeborge0914/) * (@joeborge0914) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mixed-content-over-https/#post-7554968) * You can check the settings of your dashboard. Settings >General Change http:// to https:// this way it will change the site URL in the database for Both site URL and home URL * or add these following in your wp-config.php * define(‘WP_HOME’,’[https://example.com’](https://example.com’);); define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’[https://example.com’](https://example.com’);); * Thread Starter [sbskamey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sbskamey/) * (@sbskamey) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mixed-content-over-https/#post-7554970) * Hi Borge. * I have added https:// previously and it made a little improvement. * But I’m still getting a lot of Mixed Content error messages in the Search console: * Mixed Content: The page at ‘[https://xxxxx.com’](https://xxxxx.com’); was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image ‘[http://xxxxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/sbs-300.png’](http://xxxxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/sbs-300.png’);.

This happens to everyone, it’s not just you. * Thread Starter [sbskamey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sbskamey/) * (@sbskamey) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mixed-content-over-https/#post-7555001) * Hi all, * I have run the “better search and replace” plugin. This picked up 52 changes which have been changed. * Thanks Blade for explaining why. This makes sense. * Unfortunately I am still getting the same Mixed Content messages on the search console. * Is it a matter of removing the images and then re-uploading them – this seems a bit manual? * The problem is that my website is a community based platform, where users upload their own profile pictures, so having to remove their pics and re-uploading will take forever! :/ * Any help on this would be great! * Thanks * Kam * Moderator [Steven Stern (sterndata)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/) * (@sterndata) * Volunteer Forum Moderator * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mixed-content-over-https/#post-7555002) * > Is it a matter of removing the images and then re-uploading them – this seems > a bit manual? * no. please post a link to a page which shows this error. * Thread Starter [sbskamey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sbskamey/) * (@sbskamey) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mixed-content-over-https/#post-7555010) * Here is the link to the website: * [https://sincebeingsingle.com/](https://sincebeingsingle.com/) * When you login, there are a lot more Mixed Content errors. * I didn’t create a test account as the errors on the homepage are the same as the members pages.
