Images not loaded on SSL

[odomera]

Hi all,

I do have an SSL based website (SSL only) on which I want to switch to Lay theme.

Not setting things up I noticed that Chrome and Firefox are not loading images, console shows the following error:

"Mixed Content: The page was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS."

Plus I noticed that the image is loaded locally ("wp-content/uploads...") although I do have a CDN (S3 / CloudFront) set up through W3 Total Cache and would have expected the image to be served through the CDN.

Is there any fix for these?

Dear Odomera,

Best is if you write an email to armin.unruh@gmail.com and include your username, password and a link to this conversation.

I was able to solve this. After digging a bit through the database I noticed that obviously because this is an existing website that at some point in the past was not running on SSL, some images were still saved to the database with a hardcoded http-url.

So after deleting those old images and re-uploading them, the problem disappeared :)

Sometimes things can be just easy. And I added this comment just in case someone runs into a similar problem and finds this entry here.

Hi odomera!

Oh wow! Lucky that was such an easy fix.

I know for myself how sometimes things can be super annoying and in the end the problem is simple.

Great you did it and thank you for sharing this in the forum!

All the best!
