The theme files are in /wp-content/ not /wp-admin/
Try moving the CSS out of /themes/ and into a location on your site not behind anything SSL.
Then hardcode that location into /themes/theme-name/header.php
Then see if it recurs.
I think it will which indicates that it’s something else cauing the problem (I tried this sort of thing with a .htaccess a long time ago and I removed the restriction in the end) so you will then have to track it down.
But given that there are thousands of wp sites with no such cert and that they are safe – why use it ?
They aren’t safe. They are just not compromised yet. It is a bit ridiculous in the age of wireless networks and cable modems to assume that no one is listening in to your conversation. I really think this inability to easily use ssl is one of wordpress’s greatest weaknesses. I suppose it is mainly due to the small number of people which host their own servers and therefore have the ability to even use such a function… oh well… good luck!
Anyway… thanks for the help. I knew it was easier than I was making it. Everything works great now.
It’s not ridiculous, but as a wireless user I am assuming that there are much bigger fish to catch than me so why bother listening in ?
Glad you are fixed though 🙂
