    I’m basically trying to replace images url so that if the webpage is loaded with https, the image url is load with https as well.

    I tried this code, but it doesn’t work unfortunately 

    function wpse_ssl_template_redirect() {
    if ( !is_ssl() ) {
        if ( 0 === strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'http') ) {
            wp_redirect(preg_replace('|^https://|', 'https://', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']), 301 );
            exit();
        } else {
            wp_redirect('https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 301 );
            exit();
        }
    }
}

add_action( 'template_redirect', 'wpse_ssl_template_redirect', 1 );

    It is really the right way to do this. Fix the url’s now. As long as you have properly updated the home and site url’s to https any images added afterwards will have the https in them.

    I updated both the site URL and wordpress url in General settings.

    I’ve done some image tests. Deleted the old logo and reupload a new one after the settings update. Even after clearing the cache, the image still load in http instead of https when I view the page securely.

    Using MySQL you can perform a search and replace of https://mysite.com with https://mysite.com

    PLEASE make sure to backup the DB first!

    I’m honestly not sure what you mean by use MySQL to perform a search and replace.

    This post, while it may seem old, still fits the bill:

    https://lorelle.wordpress.com/2005/12/01/search-and-replace-in-wordpress-mysql-database/

    The image url is stored in the associated WordPress MySQL DB. You can replace the https:// with https:// per the link.

    As for why the issue for you is occurring I suspect you are using either a WordPress Cache Plugin or some sort of CDN or both and need to flush the cache on them.

    I don’t think that will work because I believe search and replace only replaces the existing data in the MYSQUL database. Since I am planning on continually publishing articles all the new images that get upload with the url would still have the https:// so I would have to keep doing search replace everytime I upload a new image.

    I was looking for a more permanent fix if possible.

    I see. You want new images you add to use relative URL’s. One does not need to use the media library to add images. You can just hard code the URL’s. If you want to see the HTML of the image desired to be in a post, put it in a test draft post and view the post in browser. Then, grab the image related HTML and simply change the URL to a relative one and add it to the text/html tab in your site.

    I have not seen a plugin to do this (not that there is not, but I doubt it also) and since you would need to hack core files to change this behavior, which is never the right way to go, you have few choices to your desired outcome.

    Not sure using relative URL’s will work on multisite installs or is your best choice as not all browsers/device like relative URL’s. Also not sure if this good for SEO.
