Small problem converting to https

[dknelson99]

I have installed the certificates and converted my site to https. The CMS and Forum pages show to be secure. If you click on a forum, they also show to be secure. Clicking on ANY thread though shows to be not secure. What do I need to do?

[Mark.B]

We would need an example link but it is probably images that are linked from insecure locations.

Also, as you don't mention it, have you updated the URL settings to reflect https? And redirected http to https?

[dknelson99]

Here is a link to a thread I just posted. The forum shows secure but like I said, ANY thread breaks the security.

URL settings are updated per the instructions that I found here. Also redirection done via htaccess file.

Very difficult for me to check accurately as I'm on an iPad at the moment.

However..those rank images....the medals....are they on https?

Thanks to all. I corrected the image errors and things seem to be working ok now. Much appreciated.

[dknelson99]

Another related issue. Now when I go the forum, it shows to be secure. Often though when I click on a thread, it comes up as insecure. If I then refresh to page in the browser, it shows secure. Why is that happening?

[Mark.B]

Browser cache most likely,

Clear it and restart browser.

It's almost always linked a problem with linked images and non-https URLs.

For images, use one of these add-ons:

• Import External Images (this one worked better for me)
• IMG Cacher - SSL Keeper - Mixed Content Block Solution

If you still get non-secure warnings, check for http links in posts.

Are you using AdSense or other advertising? Check those scripts as well and convert the links to https.

Agreed but if it goes secure after a hard refresh, it can be cached copies of the page or cached images.
