im literally losing my mind here client called me upset because their browser shows console errors about blocked content on my WordPress blog since the HTTPS switch.
I checked quickly and the stylesheet are requested with http:// URLs. Some come from teh database content, some I can't trace. I'd rather fix it properly at teh source than install another plugin. Any systematic approach u recommend? Happy to dig into code or teh database, I just need a sensible plan. pls help 🙏
ok but which version are you on?
ahh right yes, the hosts load balancer handles the certificate. The app server itslef only sees plain http.
oh ive been there lol open DevTools > Console, each mixed content warning names the exact insecure URL: Mixed Content: The page at 'https://...' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure resource 'http://...'. clolect those URLs; the domain and path usually tell you whether its theme code, uploaded content or a third-party embed. good luck man!
hmmm for WordPress, old URLs live in teh database. Use WP-CLI: wp search-replace 'http://example.com' 'https://example.com' --all-tables --dry-run, check the count, then run it without --dry-run. it handles serialized data safely, unlike a raw SQL replace. take a database backup first. fingers crossed 🤞
for a static portfolio, honestly a quick find-and-relpace in the source and a redeploy beats any clever header... keep it simple. idk maybe im wrong lol
