    HTTPS Issue

    I'll list all the steps that have been done and post them here.

    1. Changed all the site information and followed the tutorial provided by vBulletin in changing to https. Site shows valid certificate yet mixed content. EVERYTHING is now set to https://www.bfewaw.com in the settings.
    2. I have also turned on Always use Forum URL as Base Path.
    3. I have Rebuilt the Stylevars after doing this.

    I have gone through so much code to try to find out why this is happening.

    Here are a few of my test results of whynopadlock:



    Soft Failure

    An image with an insecure url of "http://www.bfewaw.com/images/back5.gif" was loaded on line: 1 of https://www.bfewaw.com/.

    Soft Failure

    An image with an insecure url of "http://bfewaw.com/images/waw/wawbanner_current.png" was loaded on line: 1 of https://www.bfewaw.com/.

    and a lot more like that. What in the world is going on that it keeps trying to load http and not https for some of the styles images?

    You have to update the URLs of this images to be HTTPS. Same would be true for all hard coded image URLS. Rebuilding Stylevars will not change the input you made from http to https. Go through the style variable editor and edit each image to use the proper URL. Better yet, use protocol-less URLS or relative URLS and let vBulletin handle it for you.

      Thanks for the quick response Wayne, if I go into the stylevar editor, and do a search. I have this under additonal.css

      background: url("./images/waw/wawbanner_current.png") no-repeat center;

      That is one of the ones I get the error for:
