WordPress "Loading mixed (insecure) display content on a secure page"

I'm pretty new to web development. I developed this website using WordPress. It works fine and it has a SSL certificate as well.

On the homepage, I can see the secure icon (lock icon) in the URL box but when I navigate to the about us page, I get the following error message in the console and I don't get to see the secure icon in the URL box

Loading mixed (insecure) display content “http://52.76.129.235/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/uam-footer.jpg” on a secure page

I tried to debug the error. These are the things I did:

  1. Used a plugin called Better Search Replace to replace http to https

  2. Manually changed all values that had http in database to https

  3. Added define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true); to wp-config.php in WordPress root folder

Can anyone tell me how to fix this error? I tried to locate the URL given in the error message, but I didn't find it.

Solution

  • Sure, it is super easy just you need to follow some steps.

    1. Install and Activate the Really Simple SSL plugin.
    2. After activation, a notice will appear at the top with a button saying Go Ahead, Activate SSL, click on the button to do so.
    3. Now, go to Settings > SSL and enable the WordPress 301 redirect in the toggle.

    That's it for simple. You can also buy the Really Simple SSL Pro if you need additional configuration.

    Don't hesitate to contact me for further response. I hope the method worked for you.
