# Hummingbird converting relative URL to non-https

 * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hummingbird-converting-relative-url-to-non-https/)
 * Our website ([https://constructioncoverage.com/](https://constructioncoverage.com/))
   is on https and our theme links to a font in the main css file using a relative
   URL:
 * [https://constructioncoverage.com/wp-content/themes/blocksy/static/bundle/main.min.css](https://constructioncoverage.com/wp-content/themes/blocksy/static/bundle/main.min.css)
 * src:url(“../fonts/stars.woff2”)
 * However, Hummingbird is converting this into an http url, which is causing an
   error:
 * [https://constructioncoverage.com/wp-content/uploads/hummingbird-assets/1cf241b03975cf9075275d2d539828fa.css](https://constructioncoverage.com/wp-content/uploads/hummingbird-assets/1cf241b03975cf9075275d2d539828fa.css)
 * src:url(“[http://constructioncoverage.com/wp-content/themes/blocksy/static/fonts/stars.woff2&#8221](http://constructioncoverage.com/wp-content/themes/blocksy/static/fonts/stars.woff2&#8221);)

 * Hi [@lattice3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lattice3/),
 * Trust you are doing good.
 * I would like to bring to your notice that the Hummingbird files are loaded with
   a secure URL on the site. The issue here is that a font URL in your theme’s CSS
   file is being loaded in a non-SSL version. Screenshot: [https://ibb.co/6rn6gyn](https://ibb.co/6rn6gyn)
 * Can you please check if the home and site URL is configured with SSL in General
   settings? If yes, please clear all the cache and re-check files in Asset Optimization
   and check how it goes. Reff: [https://ibb.co/xXGGDmZ](https://ibb.co/xXGGDmZ)
 * I hope that helps, please feel free to get back to us if you need any further
   clarification on this.
 * Kind Regards,

 * Yes, the site is configured with SSL in the WordPress General settings. I have
   cleared all caches and the issue is still present. Is there a Hummingbird SSL
   setting that I’m not aware of?
 * Can you provide the URL to the css file that you took the first screenshot from?
 * What I’m seeing is that the stars.woff2 font in my theme’s CSS file is being 
   loaded with a relative URL ([http://snpy.in/BaE9ug](http://snpy.in/BaE9ug)). 
   My themes css file can be found here:
 * [https://constructioncoverage.com/wp-content/themes/blocksy/static/bundle/main.min.css](https://constructioncoverage.com/wp-content/themes/blocksy/static/bundle/main.min.css)
 * It is the **hummingbird combined CSS file** that appears to be converting the
   relative URL to a static URL that points to the non-SSL version ([http://snpy.in/lTErb6](http://snpy.in/lTErb6)).
   The combined humminbird css file can be found here:
 * [https://constructioncoverage.com/wp-content/uploads/hummingbird-assets/1cf241b03975cf9075275d2d539828fa.css](https://constructioncoverage.com/wp-content/uploads/hummingbird-assets/1cf241b03975cf9075275d2d539828fa.css)

 * Hi [@lattice3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lattice3/)
 * Thank you for the information
 * If the plugin doesn’t append the site URL to the combined file it will break 
   the style as the ../ would look on the wrong directory.
 * It doesn’t require any extra configuration if the HTTPS is configured in the 
   WordPress settings.
 * Just in case any URL still not updated on the database, can you please try the
   really simple SSL plugin [https://wordpress.org/plugins/really-simple-ssl/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/really-simple-ssl/)
   and check if makes any difference?
 * Let us know the result you got.

 * Our site is hosted on wordpress.com, and Really Simple SSL is an incompatible
   plugin (we can’t download/install it). All wordpress.com sites have SSL by default.

 * Hi [@lattice3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lattice3/)
 * In this case could you please run the better search and replace it?
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/)
 * Search for [http://constructioncoverage.com/](http://constructioncoverage.com/)
   replace to [https://constructioncoverage.com/](https://constructioncoverage.com/)
 * Please, run a dry run first so it won’t update the tables, but it returns how
   many need to be updated.
 * In case you have tables that need to be updated make sure to always have a backup
   first.
 * Let us know the result you got.

 * Hi Patrick,
 * I’m seeing multiple instances of non-SSL URLs all within WPHB Minify Groups. 
   When I dig into each case further, it’s all the same issue. The original css 
   file has a relative URL (such as image:url(../modules/carousel/images/carousel-
   sprite-2x.png?5)), and in the minified file it is converted to a non-SSL URL.

 * My concern is that if I just “find and replace” these, the issue is going to 
   pop up again once Hummingbird rebuilds the files.

 * Hi [@lattice3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lattice3/)
 * Yes, you are correct,
 * We would be more looking for other tables rather than the minify group.
 * Could you please send me an email to [contact@wpmudev.org](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hummingbird-converting-relative-url-to-non-https/contact@wpmudev.org?output_format=md)
