Header Images Pulling via HTTP yet Media Gallery shows URL is HTTPS

    URL: https://www.keithrothra.com

    When I have no header image, the site show secure. However, when I add a header image via Customizer, Chrome tells me that there is mixed content from that header image (using Chrome DevTools).

    I’ve done all I can think of and nothing works. In the htaccess file I have this:

    RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.keithrothra.com/$1 [R=301,L]

    In the WP General settings I have “https” for both the WordPress Address and Site Address. As stated, when I look at the image via the Media section, the URL of the image shows https.

    I also use Moesia on my site (www.johnrothra.com) and don’t have this problem. I’ve tried comparing settings, but don’t see any difference, so I’m baffled.

    To test if there was a cache problem I cleared all caches and cleared my browser history: no change. I also tried uploading a new image but it did the same thing: was pulled by the theme via unsecure protocols.

    Ideas?

  • Hello @jrothra,

    Please try to manually change https:// to https:// in your database → wp_options table → theme_mods_moesia option. But please try it in staging environment first, not on production site.

    Roman,

    My host doesn’t offer staging environments, so that’s not an option for me (while we could have a discussion on web hosts, that’s a topic for another thread). Also, both sites listed are on the same host using the same theme and nearly identical plugins (johnrothra.com has a few more, otherwise they are the same), and the setup on both is the same. However, I don’t have this issue on one, only the other.

    Finally, even if I did have a staging enviro option, adjusting the core theme’s files would be negated when the theme updates, correct?

    Hello @jrothra,

    I guess that there still is a chance to create staging environment even if hosting provider doesn’t offer easy tools for that, please check this tutorial in order to learn more about it:

    Roman,

    That link is a great resource! I’ll look into it!

    As to the main issue, I found the problem: me. Yep, me. I looked at the URL of the image and kept overlooking the file name (I have the same image in a smaller size, so I confused the two).

    That said, I’ll definitely check out how to set up a staging area.

    Great! Have a nice day ??

    Kind Regards, Roman.
