How can i use it, Here problem is with http:// not working in https:// using iframe.
PLease give a solution
Thanks.
You can't, in many modern browsers because it is a major security issue. There's a workaround though, you can proxy the content via HTTPS. You have to create a something on HTTPS that fetches the unsecured content for you and passes it over TLS to the end user in the iframe. This, however, is not as trivial as it looks. Just fetching the content might not be enough, because the user might want/need to POST something back. And it's not just the content, but the headers too if you need to support cookies. And when the content you served over your proxy solution loads stuff via HTTP you end up with a mixed content warning.

Could you help me find out what to do with not fully secure message.
I have installed ssl certificate from let's encrypt, but my wordpress homepage has a message "Attackers might be able to see the images you're looking at on this site and trick you by modifying them".
The home page is still in development, with demo content. About what images chrome notification is telling? Something to do with cookies?
Thank you for your answers!
Edit: Does it have to do with the theme itself? Whole wordpress dashboard and login is served over proper secure ssl.
Sending images via http protocol is what triggers this issue. Using any content from a cdn that does not use https will also trigger this issue. This quote explains it pretty simply (the yellow padlock / warning of unencrypted content/images):
If a yellow padlock appears with a mini yield sign, the likely cause
is links in your site still refer to an unsecured page. Make sure that
all your images, menu items and links use https in the URL.

I would use a tool to help identify all non-encrypted file transports. One such tool would be something like Why No Padlock.
Did you enable https after installing WordPress? If so, you must change the WordPress address and Site Address under "General Settings" in WordPress. Make sure both addresses use https.
If your WordPress site address is set to use http, your server will force https but WordPress will serve certain images, like the favicon, over http. This triggers a "mixed content" warning.
I too had run into this issue. It appears there are many http: that need to be replaced with https:
You typically do this using a plugin called Better Search and Replace. Make sure you are adding colon (:) at the end of both http and https.
I found a working answer here
To check for issues on the chrome/opera inspection console (ctrl+shift+C) is also a great idea: I had setup all correctly and the issue was the footer image, not something you would check very often looking for this fix. I had applied SSL to many websites, sometimes the issue is just one simple link and this method helps find it.
I had the same problem where the home or index page was saying the page was not fully secure "Attackers might be able to see images blah blah blah"
After enabling https in general settings under site address and wordpress address I was still getting the insecure image warning on the index or home page.
The next step was to find out what images were not using the https ref on the index or home page.
In my case I viewed the page source of the page, by right mouse clicking the page in the chrome browser & looking for images url ref which were still showing http. I was using a sliding header and those images were showing http. So all I did was go into slider header in the appearance menu of the wordpress, and re-assign each of the header slider image for each frame. RE-checked the home page now the image urls were showing https. Bingo the secure lock symbol returned.
Obviously these image urls don't get updated via the general settings... which seems an oversight by whoever wrote the part of the word-press script.
I've got this weird problem on one of my Wordpress sites and I hope you all could help out.
I have a this Wordpress site set-up and working correct. It has a SSL certificate so the URL is https://www.example.com.
Now if I add a link to one of my pages like this http://www.example_2.com it automatically changes the link to the https:// protocol. Which I find really strange because the link is literally <a href="http://www.example_2.com">.
Does anyone know why the link becomes https:// instead of the normal http:// protocol? Because my link is now giving an error when I click on the link and get send to the linked site.
I have googled this issue but it only give me results for how to configure your site for SSL (https://) and not for the issue I'm having...
Thanks in advance.
Your site probably is configured to immediately 302-redirect http requests to https.
What happens if you hit that site directly from your browser at http://www.example_2.com/ ? does it also bounce to https?
There is some chance your example_2.com site has enabled strict transport security. Read this. https://www.owasp.org/index.php/HTTP_Strict_Transport_Security_Cheat_Sheet
A lot of people are using links of the form
href="//www.example_2.com"
instead of
href="http://www.example_2.com"
these days to avoid this sort of confusion, and avoid mixed-content complaints. You might want to consider that. It's especially useful when you pull stuff from content delivery networks.
I spent my whole day configuring my wordpress website to use cloudflare flexible ssl.
I use WP HTTPS plugin and cloudflare page rule to redirect http to https.
It's working very well on firefox and IE but in chrome it's saying:
The page at 'https://mrbladedesigns.com/' was loaded over HTTPS, but is submitting data to an insecure location at 'http://mrbladedesigns.com/': this content should also be submitted over HTTPS.
One more thing I want to tell you guys that now also my wordpress address and Site address is HTTP in wordpress admin settings
I removed all of the insecure content but have no idea on how to resolve this.
Any help will be appreciated!
Just disable W3 Total Cache, https cloudflare will working fine.
I actually tried this as well but with more success. From your description it sounds like you have an issue with insecure content being loaded. This happens when you load the page via https but content is loaded via http.
The ssl insecure content fixer plugin will help you with most of your problems, but other problems will have to be fixed manually by changing http references in your html code to https.
never mind I fixed it, SSL insecure didn't worked for me, the root cause of this problem was the search bar on my homepage. Here's the fix: under WP HTTPS settings at the end there's an option Secure filters. Just write /?s there and save it! Done!
I want to apply HTTPS on some selected pages of my website.
I tried doing that using .htaccess file but after that my site is not getting loaded properly. After HTTPS, my site is looking like it does not have CSS. Please help.
The problem here will be because of the way browsers block traffic from non-secure domains.
When you use the full URL for your content e.g. images, css, scripts. if you transfer to a secure domain e.g. https:// then anything using a http:// prefix will not be allowed as it will not have been transferred securely.
So, what you need to do here is to use relative paths when including your content. So instead of using http://www.domain.com/cssfile.css you would instead use /cssfile.css. So if your site IS using http:// then the content will be transferred using that protocol, but when you switch to the login page for instance which uses https:// the content will still get delivered, but instead using the secure protocol.
When the chrome the developer tool on some of my web pages I get this warning
"The page at https://www.improvementskills.org/wordpress/whats-going-on-2/ displayed insecure content from http://abim3.improvementskills.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/run_chart2.png.
www.improvementskills.org/wordpress/whats-going-on-2/:1"
I'm guessing this is because the image urls have http rather https. Whenever I upload new images in wordpress it gives it http as well. How do I go about fixing this? Thanks!
Update: The technique in my comment below is now an anti-pattern! Always use https. http://www.paulirish.com/2010/the-protocol-relative-url/
If you can edit your website's img tags, then remove "http:" from the src.
Bad

Good

This way, the browser will call the image with https when needed, and http otherwise.
