Mixed Content – Forces SSL security Warning

    My site is secured with a HTTPS SSL Certificate – however, occassionally, if the user hovers over certain buttons or even the main site logo (top left hand side) – the browsers shows a NOT SECURE message in the browser URL area.

    After research my conclusion is that the site has ‘Mixed Content’ – in that some font calls for Styles are called using http and not https. Using ‘View Source’ in my browser shows a number of calls using http specifically the call to Google for fonts -:
    http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Signika:100,100italic,300,300italic,400,400italic,700,700italic&subset=latin,latin-ext,cyrillic,cyrillic-ext

    I’m using Punto as my Theme – but I just cant find where these calls are being stored or called from so I can’t edit them to make the call a https call. I’ve installed a search and replace plugin (BSR) but it cant find the above string for me to change it.

    Any help please?

    Hi @biketruck6942,

    I checked the link you sent, and it appears to be fixed now—no more Mixed Content issues. I double-checked by viewing the source, and I can’t find any links running over an HTTP connection.

    If you’re still experiencing this issue on your end, try clearing your browser cache.

    Also, ensure that all links are forced to run over HTTPS by verifying that your URL in Settings > General > WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) are set to HTTPS. See this example: https://share.zight.com/04uzj7bA

    Thanks for your input – much appreciated. Not sure why you’re not seeing the http issues? I’m using Chrome as my browser. I’ve cleared cache and the issue is still there – and being reported by some of the other users.

    If you right click for example – the logo, top left hand side and choose from the popup menu – INSPECT – You can see all the reported issues in the element window bottom right hand side – under CONSOLE tab.

    Can you see?

    Cheers

    By the way – Yes – I’ve checked that the defaults in SETTINGS in WP are https and I’ve cleared Cache – but the issue is there and there are calls to external http style sheets as per the example in my orginal post.

    This is third party URL, you have to check the theme header file and need to make http to https.

    Hi Prashant – Thanks – yes, I get that – and I can see the google link that’s causing the issue, by looking at ‘View Source’ on the webpage or ‘Inspect Elements’ – I just cant find it in WordPress. I’ve searched everywhere – “Better Search and Replace” and tried “Really Simple SSL” to find the Google string – and searched in the appropriate places to ‘Fix / Find Mixed Content’ – but to no avail. Clearly it’s there somewhere – but cant find it. My next plan is to see if I can access the Theme Files Directly eg. Function.php and search for string in a more traditional manual way. But I’ve never accessed the root files directly – I assume I’ll have to use FTP to download the file – fix it and then upload again?

    Any help appreciated
