HTTP vs HTTPS Image Issues

    I am using an SSL Certificate and have changed WordPress Address (URL) &
    Site Address (URL) in General Settings from HTTP to HTTPS.

    When I access my admin panel via HTTPS, then my uploaded images are broken. However, when I access my admin panel via HTTP, the images are working.

    Similarly, when I access my site pages via HTTPS, my images are simply not appearing. And when I access my site pages via HTTP, my images appear just fine.

    Please let me know how I can fix so images appear via HTTPS on both admin panel and site pages.

    Thanks for the help!!

    Excellent! I’ve done the same myself recently.

    The image references need to updated from your old URL (with http:) to your new one (https:).

    Give this a read.

    and especially this.

    It’s the same server name but it’s not. You’ll need to make a full backup of your files and database first before you poke at your installation.

    Once that backup is made and stored somewhere safe off of your server then try one of the search and replace options in that link above.

    If something goes wrong you can restore your backup and get back to where you are now.

    Thanks Jan – before I go through the process of changing all file and database references, I believe I have noticed the source of my problem:

    When I look at a media image, the ‘perma link’ is showing as https. However, the ‘file url’ is showing at http. I cannot manually change the ‘file url’ http to https on the wordpress media image edit page.

    Is there a fix in word press where I can upload an image as HTTPS, instead of HTTP?
