Title: Mix Content Over HTTPS:// Last modified: September 28, 2016 --- # Mix Content Over HTTPS:// * [JJ Smith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/igotasolutions/) * (@igotasolutions) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mix-content-over-https/) * Recently I took a site over for a client and added https:// to the site. Everything is secure, but I get the error below. I turned off all the plugins and it still did it. I checked the theme which is called INOVADO Version: 2.0 and don’t seem to see anywhere they put it anything for the Google Maps. I’ve been searching and I’ve come up short. Any ideas on how to fix this? * Thanks * Mixed Content: The page at ‘[https://www.starself.com/’](https://www.starself.com/’); was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure script ‘[http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false’](http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false’);.

Any ideas where to start? * [catacaustic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/catacaustic/) * (@catacaustic) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mix-content-over-https/#post-8232820) * Well, it’s in the sites ``, so I’d start by looking in the `header.php` file of your theme. * If there’s nothing there it could be in the theme or in a plugin, so you’d need to do the standard debugging procedure of deactivateing all (yes all) plugins, and reverting to a default untouched (Twenty*) theme. From there, re-enable everything one-by-one until you find out which one is causing that issue. * Of course, if you had a local copy of the code, you could use most good IDE’s to do a global search for that string, and you’d find it pretty quickly. * [Mark Ratledge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/songdogtech/) * (@songdogtech) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mix-content-over-https/#post-8232936) * Use the developer tools in [Firefox](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools)( or [Firebug](http://getfirebug.com/)) or [Chrome](https://developers.chrome.com/devtools/) or [Safari](https://developer.apple.com/safari/tools/) or [IE](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/hh673541(v=vs.85).aspx) to see the errors with specific images, files or other resources, like that javascript link you found. * You need to remove the `http:` from absolute paths in php theme files, such as in functions.php or header.php, i.e. change `'http://example.com/image.jpg'` to `'//example.com/image.jpg'`; that will allow your resources to default to https. * If you also see insecure links for images, you need to change URLs of media items in the post/page content to https. [Search RegEx](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-regex/) is a good plugin to be able to search and replace (optionally with grep) through all posts, pages, excerpts, comments, titles and meta. And, [interconnectit.com WordPress Serialized PHP Search Replace Tool](https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/) can be used to find/replace in the entire database, i.e. metadata, GUIDs and widget content, etc. * You may need to change to a relative path for images in CSS files, i.e. `background- image: url(http://example.com/themes/wp-content/theme/images/image.jpg)` to ` background-image: url(images/image.jpg)` - This reply was modified 9 years, 8 months ago by [Mark Ratledge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/songdogtech/). * Thread Starter [JJ Smith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/igotasolutions/) * (@igotasolutions) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mix-content-over-https/#post-8234417) * Guys, I have done all the above. I went through the whole theme and site and still can’t find it. It’s telling me index 1. Where is that at? * Thanks *
