# 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](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](https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/)
   can be used to search for “[http://mydomain.com&#8221](http://mydomain.com&#8221);
   and change it to “[https://mydomain.com&#8221](https://mydomain.com&#8221);.
