Title: content errors with https Last modified: December 16, 2019 --- # content errors with https * Resolved [benobi37](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benobi37/) * (@benobi37) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-errors-with-https/) * Hi all * First post from a newbie so please excuse my ignorance. * About 2 years ago my wife had a website created for her by a design agency using an off the shelf template. We’ve not modified this website since then. * It works absolutely fine with [http://ammylamphotography.com](http://ammylamphotography.com)– however if we use the prefix [https://ammylamphotography.com](https://ammylamphotography.com) we get a screen that has the content but it’s all jumbled up in terms of screen position etc. * I’ve tried searching for an answer but haven’t come across this exact issue. Can someone help point me to what this problem is called, and more specifically, is it a simple fix for a newbie like myself or will this require a degree of wordpress expertise to resolve? * Many thanks * Ben * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcontent-errors-with-https%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * [anant101289](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anant101289/) * (@anant101289) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-errors-with-https/#post-12242615) * Hello, try these steps 1).backup your .htaccess file 2).remove your old .htaccess code 3).add this code and save: ============================================= ============================== RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [https://%](https://%){HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301,NE] * # BEGIN WordPress # The directives (lines) between `BEGIN WordPress` and `END WordPress` are # dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters. # Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.

Now it just forces the http address to https – the content issue is still present. Please can you advise? * [mbain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markcbain/) * (@markcbain) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-errors-with-https/#post-12246893) * Looking at your site, the problem is that your site is trying to request an insecure stylesheet, e.g. it’s trying to download a file from the HTTP address instead of the HTTPS, and the browser is preventing this. * `Mixed Content: The page at 'https://www.ammylamphotography.com/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure stylesheet 'http://www.ammylamphotography. com/wp-content/uploads/pp/static/9d844a13-e150-412d-b8d5-d5c8d455ff8e-1575286917. css'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.` * Looking at that URL, it looks to me as if you are loading a cached stylesheet. Try first clearing the cache (I think it’s the Autoptimize plugin), see if that works. * [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-errors-with-https/#post-12246917) * > Looking at that URL, it looks to me as if you are loading a cached stylesheet. > Try first clearing the cache (I think it’s the Autoptimize plugin), see if > that works. * based on the page source you’re using “ProPhoto cache” [@benobi37](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benobi37/), you’ll have to clear that + ideally you’ll have to ensure the page is always loaded over HTTPS to avoid HTTP-pages (with http-resources) get cached and used on HTTPS-pages. * Thread Starter [benobi37](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benobi37/) * (@benobi37) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-errors-with-https/#post-12248740) * Thanks for the responses. Apologies for the upcoming newbie questions: * > Looking at that URL, it looks to me as if you are loading a cached stylesheet. > Try first clearing the cache (I think it’s the Autoptimize plugin), see if > that works. * Could you direct me as to where I would clear this cache? Is it accessed via cPanel? * > ideally you’ll have to ensure the page is always loaded over HTTPS to avoid > HTTP-pages (with http-resources) get cached and used on HTTPS-pages. * Could you help elaborate as to how I would achieve this please? * Cheers * Ben * Thread Starter [benobi37](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benobi37/) * (@benobi37) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-errors-with-https/#post-12256066) * Anybody able to advise on my last post above please?

I’ve managed to resolve the issue by following these steps: [https://help.pro.photo/hosting-domain/use-ssl-certficates-https-protocol/](https://help.pro.photo/hosting-domain/use-ssl-certficates-https-protocol/) * I believe that my site is running the free SSL certificate already, so I just needed to update the wordpress URL references to https and then set up the redirects as instructed.
