Podcast: WordPress Fix https Link
White screen SSL warning
If you visit your WordPress website and you see a white screen with a https:// warning it’s probably because the SSL certificate is not installed on your web server properly. The good news is: your hosting company should be able to resolve this issue fairly quickly if you submit a support ticket along with a screenshot to help them.
Unsecured content notice / wordpress fix mixed content on one page
If you visit your WordPress website and you see a not secure notice in your web browser (and you can see your website or of your website) – that’s usually because there’s an asset on the webpage e.g. an image that’s pulling content through using http:// instead of https://. To diagnose which element this is: open Chrome web browser > press F12 – When the debug console window opens. Click “Console”. Reload the web page and the debug console will tell you which image is being blocked due to insecure content. Next login to WordPress and replace this image url with the prefix https:// and click update. Reload your web page and the problem should have been resolved. Fixing one image on a random page is easy.
Unsecured content notice / WordPress fix mixed content on multiple pages
If you think this issue is sitewide or see the insecure notice on more than one page, you’ll need to perform a search and replace on your database to resolve the issue everywhere on your website.
There are two options to solve this issue:
Option 1. Submit a support ticket to your hosting provider. They will do this for you if you ask them nicely. They want to make sure you have a good customer experience. Request them to perform a http:// to a https:// replace and ask them to take a backup of your database beforehand.
Option 2. First, take a back up of your mysql WordPress database. Make sure you export a copy of your Wp database in .sql format. The reason why you should do this is: if something goes wrong, without a database backup you will kill your website! So make sure you have a backup if you follow option 2! If you’re unsure, it might be best to follow option 1. Option 1 low risk.
Next use the InterConnectIt search and replace database tool. Upload it using SFTP to a folder called replace/. Go to your https://yourdomain.com/replace/ in your web browser.The search field should contain http://yourdomain.com and the replace filed should contain https://yourdomain.com. Click run. The database tool will replace all http:// urls with https:// urls. You only need to do this for your website URL. You don’t need to do this on links to external websites.
Replace yourdomain.com with your domain name.
That’s how you fix a WordPress https issue. Remember if you’re running a WordPress ecommerce website you should be using an SSL certificate. Google now insists all websites load content over https://. So make sure your website runs correctly on https://
