How to move a WordPress site from http to https

  • Hi!

    Google set July 2018 as the deadline for HTTPS implementation. We are going to migrate our website to https (ssl). However, we got a conflict called “Mixed Content” which means the site is being loaded with SSL (for example https://mydomain.com), but not all the elements loading on the page with SSL. Tried different plugins and redirects in htaccess. Not working. Medica-content still loaded using the HTTP protocol. We have temporarily disabled https on the site until we understand the problem. Any ideas how to fix this error?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    1. Install a certificate on your host.
    2. Disable any caching/optimization plugins.
    3. Install the plugin “better search replace”.
    4. Using that plugin, search for https://www.apo-rezeptfrei.com and replace with https://www.apo-rezeptfrei.com
    5. Open an incognito/private browsing session and verify your site is now working properly as an https site.
    6. Re-enable any caching/optimization plugins.

    Take the rest of the day off. You’re done.

    Easiest Way to move a WordPress site from http to https in just 7 easy Steps

    1] Back Up Your Website
    2] Implement Your SSL Certificate
    3] Add HTTPS to the WordPress Admin Area

    To do so, open wp-config.php in your WordPress root folder and add the following line somewhere before where it says That’s all, stop editing!.

    ——> define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true);

    Once you have updated the file, it’s time to test if it works. For that, try to access your login page with HTTPS in the URL,

    For example via https://yoursite.com/wp-admin

    4] Update the Site Address

    You can do that by updating your site address under Settings > General.

    5] Change Links in Your Content and Templates
    6] Implement 301 Redirects in .htaccess
    7] Test and Go Live

    1. Install a valid SSL Certificate on your Server
    2. Wait at least 1-2h
    3. Change an Settings from http to https (or in the Database directly)
    4. Update your Links and Image paths in the pages and posts to https
