SSL issue with slider

    Hi folks,

    Recently, I installed free SSL to my website and forced to it via .htaccess.
    The problem I have is with the slider. I have 3 entries there and it seems when I try to upload image via template settings it uploads the image and links it via http. So in the database I have entry with http:// and when I try to open the website it says that parts of it are loaded with insecure protocol. The actual generated html looks like this (all 3 slides have similar code):

    img src=”https://*****/wp-content/themes/minamaze/images/transparent.png” style=”background: url(http://*****/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/image1.jpg) no-repeat center; background-size: cover;” alt=”Who we are”

    I tried to update the links in slider’s options in the sql row, but when I do that, the website breaks.

    Any ideas how to fix the links to load via https?

    Regards,
    Dean

    Hi Dean,

    SSL is really not theme related, all themes out there, not just our themes are compatible with SSL, there is no specification about this, maybe this article can help for fully setting your WordPress site with SSL: http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/options-for-ssl-in-wordpress–cms-21995 there are other useful articles over the net.
You can absolutely use plugins, or best to ask your hosting provider about this, Also you can try plugins like https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/wordpress-https/
there are also other plugins at the official WP plugin repository: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins

    Thanks!

    Hello,

    Apologies for the delay.

    it seems the issue is with the plugin you use for your template. The image was uploaded via http (the website was on http back then) and the image link is stored with http:// in wordpress database. It should be stored without protocol as now I cannot modify it. If I try to modify the protocol in the row in DB it breaks it and the slider loads the default images.

    Can you look into this please?

    Regards,
    Dean
