Title: SSL – Securing Pages Last modified: February 8, 2017 --- # SSL – Securing Pages * [rwbra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rwbra/) * (@rwbra) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-securing-pages/) * I am not seeing a padlock on SOME of my pages. When I run the pages through [https://www.whynopadlock.com](https://www.whynopadlock.com) to find the error I consistently get this message. * Insecure URL: [http://www.reliefteaching.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Essentials-250xx.png](http://www.reliefteaching.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Essentials-250xx.png) Found in: [https://www.reliefteaching.com/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/css/autoptimize_6a85b4b9b89727255b6000355bd3f983.css](https://www.reliefteaching.com/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/css/autoptimize_6a85b4b9b89727255b6000355bd3f983.css) * When I check my server there are hundreds of such cache files. * Is there any solution to this situation?

Clear your cache and then disable the caching plugin. * 2. Using the plugin “better search and replace”, search for `http://www.reliefteaching. com` and replace with `https://www.reliefteaching.com` (no trailing slashes). * 3. When done (not in dry run mode), re-enable your caching plugin. * Thread Starter [rwbra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rwbra/) * (@rwbra) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-securing-pages/#post-8783756) * Done, Done and Done. * Thank you so much. * Moderator [Steven Stern (sterndata)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/) * (@sterndata) * Volunteer Forum Moderator * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-securing-pages/#post-8783774) * Once done, you can delete the plugin “better search and replace”. * Thread Starter [rwbra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rwbra/) * (@rwbra) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-securing-pages/#post-8783795) * Thanks for your help Steve. * I have some pages eg [https://www.reliefteaching.com/relief-teacher-pay-rates/relief-teaching-pay-and-conditions/](https://www.reliefteaching.com/relief-teacher-pay-rates/relief-teaching-pay-and-conditions/) which by all tests on whynopadlock.com and other similar sites is secure with all links also secure but does not generate a padlock. * More importantly My membership payment page [https://www.reliefteaching.com/membership/executive-annual/](https://www.reliefteaching.com/membership/executive-annual/) is the same. It is tested as secure but does not general a lock giving an “attackers might see images ….” message. * Even after clearing cache etc the SSL lock is not featured. Any ideas? * Thread Starter [rwbra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rwbra/) * (@rwbra) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-securing-pages/#post-8783797) * Even when I start a new page with NO CONTENT the SSL secure padlock does not show up. * Moderator [Steven Stern (sterndata)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/) * (@sterndata) * Volunteer Forum Moderator * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-securing-pages/#post-8783818) * Your pages request this link: `http://www.reliefteaching.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2016/11/looking-for-something.png` * When you ran the plugin did you make sure that you UNCHECKED “dry run” and selected all tables *and* you cleared all caches? * By the way, I just ran “whynopadlock” against my site and got incorrect results. I wouldn’t trust it for anything definitive. - This reply was modified 9 years, 3 months ago by [Steven Stern (sterndata)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/). * Thread Starter [rwbra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rwbra/) * (@rwbra) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-securing-pages/#post-8783848) * I thought I did, Steve. I ran it again and double checked UNCHECKED Dry Run. It processed the whole 118 tables. * I cleared cache. Rebooted but the same result. * Thank you for your help. * Bob * Moderator [Steven Stern (sterndata)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/) * (@sterndata) * Volunteer Forum Moderator * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-securing-pages/#post-8783861) * Maybe it’s in source someplace and not in the DB. * Try using this to search: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/string-locator/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/string-locator/) * [j09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/j09/) * (@j09) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-securing-pages/#post-8783873) * Just to add to the insights shared by [@sterndata](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/) * [@rwbra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rwbra/) Some of your pages have mixed content – `http://` or (non-secure) requests on a `https://` or (secure) connection – and that’s why they don’t have the lock. * [Really Simple SSL](https://wordpress.org/plugins/really-simple-ssl/) is by far the simplest fix that I know of for this particular issue. it forces everything to go through `https://` - This reply was modified 9 years, 3 months ago by [j09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/j09/). - This reply was modified 9 years, 3 months ago by [j09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/j09/). * Thread Starter [rwbra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rwbra/) * (@rwbra) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-securing-pages/#post-8783876) * I think it must be in one of the widgets. It only happens on pages with side bars. I can track it down from here. Thanks for your help Steve.
