How to change image links to https://

    I want to change our website to secure (https://).
    The hosting company has done a check and found some instances where a link change is required. Example:
    An image with an insecure url of “https://www.gw4x4r.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/snowice.gif” was loaded on line: 134 of https://gw4x4r.co.uk/.
    This URL will need to be updated to use a secure URL for your padlock to return.

    I don’t know how to do this – for example, I don’t know the page where that image is (media perhaps)?

    Can you suggest a method to make these changes please?

    Install the plugin “better search replace”. Search for https://www.gw4x4r.co.uk and replace with https://www.gw4x4r.co.uk in all tables.

    Many thanks- I have now run the search and replace; the proof will come when the host updates, I think.

    There’s nothing else to update; just clear your site cache, if you’re using any caching plugins.

    I’m still left with two images that can’t be fixed via search & replace.
    I guess that’s because the images’ links are “inside” the website, not external, e.g. “https://www.gw4x4r.co.uk/migration/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/snowice.gif”

    So I suppose this is a vicious circle; I would probably need to replace the image with something else temporarily. The problem is I don’t know how to find it using WP – if you look at the website you can see the snowice and flooding images in the top part of the home page.

    Update – I tried the plugin “Really simple SSL” and that solved the problem (redirect).
