 * I recently changed my website from http to https. Apparently, SSL existed all
   this time, but I never noticed, until I needed to use WooCommerce. I updated 
   my WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) to [https://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mixed-http-and-https-in-code/?output_format=md),
   and then used the plugin WP-force-SSL. It works fine in Internet Explorer, and
   Firefox, but Google Chrome…nope! It goes to http and includes the letter “i” 
   with the circle around it saying the site is unsecure.
 * The kind and brilliant folks that made the plugin helped me a LOT! And it turns
   out that within the html, there are some instances of http instead of https. 
   Lots of my jpg images, for example.
 * My question is: Do I need to go through the html in every single page of my website
   and change every single instance of http to https? Is there an easier way? And
   if there isn’t an easy way, as I am doing a search and replace, are there specific
   instances where it needs to remain http?

 * You can use the plugin called “Really Simple SSL”

 * I used a program suggested by the people at WP-Force-SSL that can be found at
   [https://www.whynopadlock.com](https://www.whynopadlock.com) to look at my site.
   As it turned out, when I updated the one jpg image that whynopadlock found, and
   ran it again it showed no more errors. And now Google Chrome plays nice and says
   that my site is secure.
