Title: SSL / HTTPS Mixed content and customizer issue Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # SSL / HTTPS Mixed content and customizer issue * Resolved [wolf_metallo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wolf_metallo/) * (@wolf_metallo) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-https-mixed-content-and-customizer-issue/) * Hi, * Firstly, thank you for a beautiful looking theme! I just started using it and it is fitting my requirement very well. I am having a couple of issues though: * 1. Mixed Content alert on Chrome I have SSL enabled on my website with own certificate and SNI on server. I only have the “Contact Us” page (link: [https://infosecbyte.com/contact-us/](https://infosecbyte.com/contact-us/)) as HTTPS, and others are only http (plugin used: WordPress HTTPS SSL). * The page when loaded on chrome says there is insecure content. When reviewed in Console, it’s showing line 98 to have only ‘[http://’](http://’); tag for the domain name. I know this is coming for the Search function. However, I am not able to find out where that code is written or how I can change the URL to remove the http: and keep referential URLs. * 2. When I go to theme customizer, it’s not showing anything except for the left side bar which is used to customize the website. This happened after I selected FORCE_SSL_ADMIN using the plugin. * Are the calls also going in ‘http’ when the customizer is launched? If not, then how do I resolve this issue? * Would appreciate any help you could provide. I am not adept at writing code, but I can google pretty well. * Thank you!

Opened all .php files in Notepad++ 2. Did a “find in all” with keyword as “type in keyword…” 3. Found it on row 82 of header. php 4. Found the escapre URL code in this format: esc_url( home_url( ‘/’ ); * Updated it to: esc_url( home_url( $path = ‘/’ , $scheme = relative) ) * 5. Saved and uploaded the header.php to the server – and Viola! * Note to developer – Could you update the files in the next revision to use “relative” scheme so that https could be picked up? Or maybe isssl() function? * Still looking for some help on the second issue though. Appreciate any input, thanks all! * Theme Author [acosmin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/acosmin/) * (@acosmin) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-https-mixed-content-and-customizer-issue/#post-5943044) * Hi! This is the first time I’ve heard about this issue. I don’t own a SSL certificate and I don’t have a way to test it for now. * [https://wp-themes.com/justwrite/](https://wp-themes.com/justwrite/) has SSL an I see it works just fine… * It might also be a problem with the wp plugin. Did you contact the author? * Anyway, thank you for the fix! I will try and see where the issue is and update the theme. * Thread Starter [wolf_metallo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wolf_metallo/) * (@wolf_metallo) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-https-mixed-content-and-customizer-issue/#post-5943053) * Thanks for the reply. I will try to research a little bit more and give some details if I find any. Everything else is working, except when I click Appearance– > Customize. I don’t see the webpage… so as you said, maybe its a problem with the plugin configuration I have done. * And thanks for the upcoming fix, I’ll monitor the changelog so that I can remove it from my header.php file. * Theme Author [acosmin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/acosmin/) * (@acosmin) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-https-mixed-content-and-customizer-issue/#post-5943261) * I took a look and I really don’t think the problem is the theme. It uses all the requirements set by wp.org, doesn’t output any url, doesn’t include any raw url. * What you should do: - Update all the links in your database to https, even for attachments, media… - Find a new plugin to manage SSL, the one you’re using was not updated once in the last two years. I don’t think the Customizer was actually released in that period. There might be some problems there. - Create a [child theme](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) and add the necessary modifications if needed. * Thread Starter [wolf_metallo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wolf_metallo/) * (@wolf_metallo) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-https-mixed-content-and-customizer-issue/#post-5943336) * Thanks my friend! Appreciate you looking into the code. And apologies for such a late reply! * I never got a solution from any other source and i still can’t use the customizer. But after so many months of WP use, I’ve become comfortable with customizing without GUI. * I will look at your suggestions and try to see what works. Once again, sorry for the late reply and thanks for your help!
