hueman theme https connection not secure message
-
I am using hueman theme (v1.5.7) and a child theme.
I have recently moved the website to SSL (ie https)via cloudflare
When I use hueman theme I get a yellow exclamation mark in the firefox browser URL window indicating insecure / mixed content. I have inactivated the plugins and it still occurs. (I.Exp & chrome also give their versions of the message as well.)
When I use 2015 theme with plugins there is no such message (ie the exclamation mark is no longer there) indicating it is an issue with Hueman theme.
Any suggestion that can assist will be appreciated. Thanks.

The site is: https://andrewhallam.com/
Hi nextstep. In Firefox I got this message:
Connection is not secure. Parts of this page are not secure (such as images)
When I inspected the page in Chrome Developer Tools it showed these warnings:
cloudflare.min.js:4 Mixed Content: The page at ‘https://andrewhallam.com/’ was loaded over a secure connection, but contains a form which targets an insecure endpoint ‘http://www.aweber.com/scripts/addlead.pl’. This endpoint should be made available over a secure connection.
(index):1 Mixed Content: The page at ‘https://andrewhallam.com/’ was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image ‘http://forms.aweber.com/form/displays.htm?id=TAzsnBzs7BycTA==’. This content should also be served over HTTPS.
Hi bdbrown and many thanks for your response, it certainly put me on the right track. First off, let me aplogise to the theme creators for suggesting the issue was with hueman theme. As you pointed out it was aweber. (and one other)
Here’s what I did to resolve the issue
I first went to Aweber and saw that:

Does AWeber Support HTTPS/SSL Sign Up Forms?
April 21, 2015 00:32Yes, AWeber sign up forms fully support HTTPS/SSL submissions. If your site is HTTPS/SSL, publishing AWeber sign up forms to the site would not adversely effect the security of the site. If your website is not HTTPS/SSL, you can still publish AWeber sign up forms to your site without issues.
—-Great! I replaced the updated java script form from aweber — but still had an insecure site.
As it turns out the issue was with the content in the sidebars (which didn’t publish in 2015 theme).
1. I went into hueman settings and selected full page (no sidebars) as global.
2. The website immediately was shown as secure.
3. I added one side bar — still secure.
4. Added 2nd sidebar — now insecure.
5. I moved all widgets from sidebar to inactive — site secure.
6. I added one after another until I got the insecure message again.There was also another widget with an insecure image that I have now removed from the sidebar — site secure.
I put the aweber widget back in and the site was insecure again!
After much googling and checking aweber FAQs there was no result. I even tried installing the WordPress plugin. No luck.
After 3 hours of frustrating searching and trial and error I decided to try the Aweber Raw HTML Snippet (Advanced Design Customization) rather than the Javascript Snippet (The Quick and Easy Version). The javascript is easier to use as you update the design in Aweber and it auto updates on the site.
RESOLVED: Once I replaced the Aweber javascript with the Raw HTML Snippet, the site was giving no more mixed content errors due to aweber.
Thanks again for your help!
You’re welcome; glad I could help. And thanks for posting your solution. Hopefully it will help other users who encounter the same problem. If more users approached troubleshooting logically, as you have, I think we’d have fewer questions to answer on this forum 😉
