I've reconfigured a Wordpress site to use https and although there are no http links appearing in the html source Chrome still says "connection not fully secure".
I've read this post and I find in Developer Tools > Network there is a jpg file listed as being on an http connection. However I've changed the only reference to this file in the database in table wp_posts in field guid to be https, refreshed the browser cache but it is still listed as http although not appearing in the source.
Other non-wordpress https sites on the same server show the secure sign so the certificate must be installed correctly.
I've used the online checker at www.whynopadlock.com and the only item it flags as a fail is the jpg image, which I've changed? Is there a WP cache, I can't see an cache plugins in admin.
Try to search for all http:// version of the website in your database but also, change the name of the website in the main settings to https AND flush your permalinks if you haven't in Settings -> permalinks -> click update.
If it doesn't change anything, maybe the file is hard-coded in your template file? Another script could load the file via ajax you wouldn't see it in the source code...
Test it in another Browser.
Maybe there is some Server-Cache (PHP, Memcached, etc.).
In bulk WP should have the change an affect.

I recently created a Wordpress Website on my personal server. And once completed I deployed it to the client's server successfully.
However, when I activated HTTPS, I received the 'Mixed Content' error, and when I Inspect the Console I still see a reference to my own server:
Mixed Content: The page at 'https://fluidfinance.co.za/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image 'http://transciety.co.za/fluidfinance/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Slider1.jpg'. This content should also be served over HTTPS.
Fluidfinance.co.za being the client's server, and transciety.co.za is my server.
I checked the HTML body, and cannot find any reference to this image link. I also ran a Find and Replace on the Database, and still it is trying to fetch the images from my own server.
The actual image being displayed comes from the correct server.
How can I get rid of this reference, in order for the Mixed Content error to be removed?
Thank you in advance.
It is Coming from Elementor CSS.
URL: https://fluidfinance.co.za/wp-content/uploads/elementor/css/post-6.css
CSS Present.
.elementor-motion-effects-layer{background-image:url("http://transciety.co.za/fluidfinance/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Slider1.jpg");background-repeat:no-repeat;background-size:cover;}
May You can Change it in Elementor Plugin or Manual by Going to the CSS Path.
Instead of genuine Mixed Content issue this seemed like more of a Wordpress issue hence posting here to find a resolution.
I have everything setup to work with https, though there is no valid certificate yet. here is the home page url https://tourpoule.nl. The home page loads but with Mixed content errors which seem to be generated by core Wordpress or theme functions. Attaching image:
Database does not have any url which would start with http://. I already have replaced them using search and replace script.
There is nothing in htaccess file except basic Wordpress setup code. I tried renaming it as well. I cleared all types of cache but still it does not work. The site is using twentytwenty theme and if I comment out css and javascript enque lines, some of the errors disappear but styles and scripts do not load(that is normal I know).
In the view source of page it shows mixed urls, some with https and style and javascript urls without https. see below:
Interestingly if I click a stylesheet url i.e. http://new.tourpoules.nl/wp-content/themes/twentytwenty/style.css?ver=1.0 it redirects to https://new.tourpoules.nl/wp-content/themes/twentytwenty/style.css?ver=1.0
I am not sure what is going on and have got struck. I am not able to reach the client so that we can discuss turning ssl redirection off in nginx for this domain where it is redirecting everything to https if it is not https. Not sure if that is causing issue (I believe it is not as it has nothing to do with Wordpress mechanism to generate urls). Any help or direction is greatly appreciated.
I can see your website is still unsecured, for what it's worth, get yourself letsencrypt ssl.
Back to you question, go to your database, open the wp_options table, change the siteurl item to https://tourpoules.nl and also change the home item to https://tourpoules.nl.
If you have used search and replace DB master script or plugin it will not update inside meta files as well as and check for the function file have you Enqueue with https://
So will be better if you download SQL file and replace with below:
From:
http://new.tourpoules.nl
To
https://new.tourpoules.nl
and re-upload again
I changed from http to https but the message is showing that it is not fully secured. I am using Wordpress.
When I click view page source the home menu still shows http:// for the home page and a few others.
However in the database and settings, I could not find any http links any suggestions?
Site is:
https://androidage.net/
You'll need to set all your links, especially, to images to use https. If you are comfortable running SQL commands and backup your database beforehand, you can do this using phpMyAdmin and run a similar SQL command:
UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = REPLACE(post_content,'http://sourcedomain.com/','https://sourcedomain.com/');
You will need to change the 'wp_' prefix to whatever prefix you are using for your database.
Otherwise there should be some plugins that will do it. A quick search brought up this one: Wordpress HTTPS
I have created a demo website for a client. I installed the site on the client's live domain name and I used the etc/host DNS trick to point the domain to my development sever. Now I want to send a live preview to client for validation but I don't want to bother her with technical details such as modifying local computer host file. The client doesn’t want to switch the domain to the new site either, until everything is ready as the site is highly active. I have tried the cpanel temporary link (mod_userdir is enabled) but it breaks everything including styles and scripts. Do you have any solution. Thanks.
Update: I have found this site if it can help nodns.io, they only need the emulated domain name and the development server IP.
You can still use the temporary URL and that is the easiest way. You just need to make a change in the WordPress database. You can go to cPanel -> phpMyAdmin, open the database and look for the _options table.
Once you find it, you need to change the home and siteurl options to the temporary URL:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL
You can follow the "Changing the URL directly in the database" directions.
Goodluck!
I've made a local version of my companies live website. My problem is that none of the links work and I can't sign into the admin control panel. I think it has something to do with clean-urls module. Any Ideas? The error I'm getting is url request was not found on this server.
If you made a full copy including the database, you must clear all caches, e.g. directly in the database, or using the Devel-Module. If no other settings have changed in the .htaccess, and there is no fixed url given in the settings.php (the $base_url), it should work.
