 * Is there a way to pull the CAPTCHA image from **https://** instead of [http://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-https-compatible/?output_format=md)?
   The insecure image is causing my website to show a “resources are not secure”
   error when people are on my shopping cart.

 * Nope, I never found a way around it. I had to create another side bar widget 
   with a non-captcha contact form so the pages would show as secure.

 * Here is a method that worked for me. See the following post for the source of
   this solution.
 * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_content_url-based-defines-do-not-work-over-ssl-https](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_content_url-based-defines-do-not-work-over-ssl-https)
 * Essentially, I edited **wp-includes/default-constants.php** and changed the **
   wp_plugin_directory_constants** function as follows:
 *     ```
       function wp_plugin_directory_constants( ) {
       /**
               if ( !defined('WP_CONTENT_URL') )
                       define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-content'); // full url - WP_CONTENT_DIR is defined further up
       **/
               if ( !defined('WP_CONTENT_URL') )
                       define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', site_url( 'wp-content') ); // full url - WP_CONTENT_DIR is define with https or http per connection
       ```
   
 * Hopefully this will be helpful to others.
