Site shows insecure warnings or mixed content due to incomplete HTTPS setup.

HTTPS Not Properly Configured

Key Points: Browser says “Not secure”, padlock missing, or images won’t load due to mixed content.

You enabled HTTPS — great! But now half your site is broken. Images don’t load, browser flashes a warning, and clients wonder if they’re on a fake site. Classic mixed content problem.

🔍 Root Causes

  • Site or Home URL still uses http://
  • Hardcoded image or script links in content or theme files
  • No redirect from HTTP to HTTPS

🔧 Fix It Fully

  1. Set HTTPS URLs in Settings → General or wp-config.php
  2. Use a plugin like Really Simple SSL for cleanup
  3. Scan content for hardcoded http:// links and update
  4. Add 301 redirect to .htaccess or server config

🔐 Final Note

SSL is more than a certificate — it’s a full site commitment. One insecure script breaks the whole chain.
