 * Mixed content issue on website narrowed down to Smart Slider. Whenever it is 
   enabled, all the images are defaulted to http and I cannot figure out how to 
   force to https.

 * Hi [@semperfideles](https://wordpress.org/support/users/semperfideles/)
 * The problem is probably related to that, you may inserted a HTTP link into one
   of the slides of the slider?
 * Please open a support ticket directly at:

   where you
    - attach the slider export of the slider that is published on the page where
      you see the problem
    - and send us a link to the page where we can see the problem occur

 * Hi László,
 * The plugin also caused this issue on my site, before I deleted it.
    I suspect
   this is the problematic line:
 * `<div data-position="below" class="n2-ss-widget n2-ss-widget-hide-mobileportrait
   nextend-shadow n2-ow" style="margin-top:0px;width:100%;"><img style="display:
   block; width:100%;max-width:none;" class="n2-ow nextend-shadow-image" data-no-
   lazy="1" data-hack="data-lazy-src" src="http://<mysite>/wp-content/plugins/smart-
   slider-3/Public/SmartSlider3/Widget/Shadow/ShadowImage/Assets/shadow/centered.
   png" alt="Shadow" /></div>`
 * Cheers,
    Anna

 * Hi Anna!
 * In this case I assume the problem will be related to the WordPress Address (URL)
   and Site Address (URL) that was set at WordPress > Settings > General.
    Is it
   possible that you still have the http url set there? If you have, then there 
   also the https urls should be used.
 * Best regards,
    Laszlo.

 * Hi Laszlo,
 * Thanks for the reply!
    No, those URLs are correct. Setting up a 301 redirect 
   from http to https in my .htaccess seems to have done the trick, I really have
   no idea why. Sorry for assuming your plugin caused the issue, it did not.
 * Best,
    Anna
