onlinedreams

OK… just wanted to wrap this up since I found a working solution.

The problem was that my WP theme uses Elementor and apparently when importing demo content, some of this content does not have the HTTPS prefix.

I tried a lot of things; editing the .htaccess file, reinstalling the theme, installing another theme with Elementor where this problem persisted. I tried the Really Simple SSL plugin. Based on forum posts on the internet I tried to find the erroneous code in the PHPMyAdmin database. I tried using the Better Search Replace plugin.

Nothing worked.

Finally I happened to re-read an article by Really Simple SSL where is says that the problem is common with Elementor-based themes:

https://really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/how-to-fix-mixed-content-in-elementor-after-moving-to-ssl/

This finally solved it for me – and could have helped save 6 hours of hair-tearing if I had closely read what it said sooner. Hope it helps some one else out there.

Best regards.
