 * Running WordPress HTTPS 3.0 / WP 3.3.1
 * Not sure how to resolve this insecure item:
    Insecure URL: [http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Droid+Sans:regular,bold](http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Droid+Sans:regular,bold)
   Found in: [https://www.vaultcollectibles.com/wp-content/themes/thesis_183/custom/layout.css](https://www.vaultcollectibles.com/wp-content/themes/thesis_183/custom/layout.css)
 * For insecure images, could you explain:
    “can generally be resolved by changing
   absolute references to elements”
 * Getting a warning for the site’s header, could you advise how to fix this:

 * Just thought I’d mention since there are some recent posts about issues with 
   the latest upgrade to WordPress HTTPS (SSL) 3.0, I had no issues when updating
   to the newest version. Plugin functions fine.
 * I just don’t understand how to work with the few insecure files such as the header
   file and the call to the layout.css file.
 * Any suggestions appreciated.

 * Hey Robert,
 * Relative paths are local paths that don’t include the domain information. Like
   this:
    `http://www.vaultcollectibles.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/vault-collectibles-
   header-3-171.jpg` To: `/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/vault-collectibles-header-
   3-171.jpg`
 * For any paths not local to your site, you’ll need to change them to https, so:
   `
   http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Droid+Sans:regular,bold` To: `https://
   fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Droid+Sans:regular,bold`
 * Hope that helps.
 * Thanks,
    Mike
