How do I fix "mixed content" or "not secure" warnings? Print

  • 0

A "mixed content" warning means your page loads over HTTPS but still pulls some files (images, scripts, CSS) over insecure http://. Fix it by updating those links to https://.

  1. Open your browser's developer console to see which resources are insecure.
  2. Edit your code or theme so all internal links use https://yourdomain.com or protocol-relative paths.
  3. On WordPress, install a plugin like Really Simple SSL or run a search-replace of http://yourdomain.com to https://yourdomain.com in the database.

Make sure SSL is active and HTTPS is forced first. After changes, clear your site and browser cache, then reload in a private window. If a single stubborn asset remains, check hard-coded URLs in your theme or plugins.
