 * Hi, I have one https page on my site. There are a few lines of code that are 
   causing this page to get the “This page contains both secure and nonsecure items.
   Do you want to display the nonsecure items?” warning in IE:
 * <link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”Austin Pets Alive! RSS
   Feed” href=”[http://www.austinpetsalive.org/blog/feed/&#8221](http://www.austinpetsalive.org/blog/feed/&#8221);/
   >
    <link rel=”pingback” href=”[http://www.austinpetsalive.org/blog/xmlrpc.php&#8221](http://www.austinpetsalive.org/blog/xmlrpc.php&#8221);/
   > <link rel=”EditURI” type=”application/rsd+xml” title=”RSD” href=”[http://www.austinpetsalive.org/blog/xmlrpc.php?rsd&#8221](http://www.austinpetsalive.org/blog/xmlrpc.php?rsd&#8221);/
   > <link rel=”wlwmanifest” type=”application/wlwmanifest+xml” href=”[http://www.austinpetsalive.org/blog/wp-includes/wlwmanifest.xml&#8221](http://www.austinpetsalive.org/blog/wp-includes/wlwmanifest.xml&#8221);/
   > <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”[http://www.austinpetsalive.org/blog/wp-content/plugins/sociable/sociable.css&#8221](http://www.austinpetsalive.org/blog/wp-content/plugins/sociable/sociable.css&#8221);
   type=”text/css” media=”screen” charset=”utf-8″/>
 * Interestingly, the calls to form the links to the stylesheets (bloginfo(‘template_url’);
   and bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’);) seem to realize when on my https page 
   and they return a link to the stylesheet with an https.
 * But these others don’t.
 * I’m not sure how to get around this. Has anyone successfully dealt with this 
   issue? Thanks in advance!

 * Gretchen, I visited your site and I see that you resolved the issue. I have a
   similar situation.
 * I have a single page (“contact”) that I want to be HTTPS, so I configured my .
   htaccess as follows:
 * NOTE: I am running on a shared host ISP
 * [BEGIN .HTACCESS SNIPPET]
 *     ```
       Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
       RewriteEngine on
       #
       # Redirect to force SSL and trailing slash on bad links to donate-now page
       RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !=443 [OR]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
       RewriteRule ^contact/?$ https://www.mydomain.net/contact/ [R=301,L]
       #
       # Redirect to add missing trailing slash unless URL ends with a "filetype"
       RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*[^./]*[^/])$ http://www.mydomain.net/$1/ [R=301,L]
       #
       # Redirect all non-canonical hostname requests to canonical domain, preserving SSL/non-SSL
       RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mydomain\.net$
       RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT}s ^(443(s)¦[0-9]+)$
       RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http%2://www.mydomain.net/$1 [R=301,L] 
   
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * [END .HTACCESS SNIPPET]
 * My goal was that whenever a user goes to **[http://www.mydomain.net/contact](http://www.mydomain.net/contact)**
   then that page should be HTTPS, and the above .htaccess does that by forcing 
   the HTTP to become HTTPS. However, I still get the ‘nonsecure items’ warning 
   in IE when going to this page.
 * If I do a VIEW SOURCE of my /contact page I can see that the WP-generated links
   to my theme/stylesheet/javascript files only have HTTP, so that is probably why
   I am getting the ‘nonsecure items’ message.
 * I noticed on your site that you successfully not only force your /donate page
   to be HTTPS but that you no longer cause the ‘nonsecure items’ warning to be 
   displayed in IE, and if I do a VIEW SOURCE or your /donate page I can see that
   your WP-generated links to theme, stylesheet, etc., have a HTTPS prefix.
 * How can I similarly get my non-HTTPS WP links to be generated by WP as HTTPS 
   for this single /contact page within my WP site?
 * All suggestions appreciated

 * Any luck with this? I too have this issue and it’s driving me a little bit nuts.
