Featured Image Stopped Working … HTTPS issue?

    I’ve combed through numerous related threads and can’t really find any solution that fits my case.

    Featured Images on posts have recently stopped working properly. When I add a featured image to a post via the featured image box, it opens the gallery fine and I am able to choose an image. The box even registers that an image has been selected, it just doesn’t display the little preview of the image.

    On the single post page, the image also functions normally as the featured image, but in an archive page or in widgets that display a post loop the images are not appearing.

    Around the time this started happening, we switched certain pages of our site to https. I’m wondering if there could be a connection there. I’ve disabled plugins and haven’t found any to be a cause.

    Any advice on where to start looking to resolve this? The website is http://www.white-conch.org

    Thanks!

    Generally speaking with WordPress, mixing SSL and non-SSL can be … interesting. Typically, it’s recommended to go all or nothing – use SSL on all pages or on no pages (but PLEASE use it for logins!).

    It all depends on how the theme is calling the image URLs – which may be different on different types of pages (i.e. archives vs. single posts).

    To change the whole site to SSL, go to Settings > General and change the “WordPress Address” and “Site Address” to https. In some cases, it may also be necessary to update URLs in the database. I strongly recommend that you make a backup of the database before doing this! A tool like the database search and replace script can be used to search for “http://mydomain.com” and change it to “https://mydomain.com”.
