 * I did the switch over last year and don’t remember much about it.
    I can see 
   that some image links are still http all was working fine till a week back then
   lots of pages failing to show and giving 431 errors. Only pages in the comms 
   folder have this problem (these are landing pages built in a different tool) 
   After some strugling I discovered the problem is only in Chrome, so I most likely
   have Google to thank for my weekend at work. One problem I discovered is that
   chrome latest version rejected any page with – in the name . I spent a day renaming
   pages and hoped that might be the end of it but no.
 * Now find that strangely it is happy with mixed content. i.e https page containing
   http: images and scripts works fine but use https for assets and the page displays
   with no styles, pictures or JavaScript rendering.
 * I was tempted to just search replace and make everything http, but google will
   penalise heavily if use non secure landing pages with ppc adverts so I need to
   resolve it properly.
    As far as I can see this only happens in that /comms subfolder
   I vaguely rememebr adding a rewrite rule but that owuld have been rewriting http
   to https so I strugle to see how that is part of the problem. I have no idea 
   where to go next with this. I sense there is an explanation if I knew moe about
   apache and wordpress. started a few days ago – most likely after a chrome update(
   there could b a coincidence though) Only happens i /comms subfolder which is 
   not a part of the wordpress install. Only a problem with chrome, edge and ie 
   work just fine. The 431 errors were a total misnomer. It had nothing to od with
   header length form what I could see. I cleared all cookies I deleted cache in
   wordpress and in the browser regularly I renamed 147 pages and tracked the links
   to them all manually Any suggestions would be great
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmoved-to-https-but-a-non-wordpress-subfolder-refuses-to-display-https-pages-imag%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * I just short-circuited that whole problem by using Cloudflare and their free 
   SSL with cert.
 * So the Origin is insecure to Cloudflare but the public site (via Cloudflare’s
   proxy) is secure.
 * The Cloudflare plugin then helps enhance that Origin to Cloudflare connection
   if you wish to dig into that deeper at your convenience which may be necessary
   for a storefront with Payment processing, HIPAA, or a membership site.

 * Thanks, it sounds like quite a workaround, but if all else fails Ill give it 
   a shot.
    Im not clear and why this is happening and why now. It is currently 
   only a chrome based issue, which is suspicious to me
