Insecure Content being loaded

Hi Erik, are the images in your media library loaded by HTTPS? Easing Slider pulls images from the WordPress Media Library, so it their URLs don’t use HTTPS neither will the slider.

Also, are you redirect HTTP to HTTPS through a plugin, or is the site setup to be HTTPS only?

Hi Matthew,

Yes the images are being uploaded https. They don’t seem to be the issue.
It seems that for every image there is a placeholder image being uploaded alongside it as well? Not to sure why or what it is doing. This is what it looks like.

here you can see the code being spit out:

Ok, so it’s the placeholder image that’s getting loaded as HTTP only. I’ll have to investigate this as our site also uses HTTPS but this isn’t happening.

The placeholder pixel is related to the lazy loading in order to produce compliant HTML. We use a 1x1px placeholder image as the img src attribute before the actual image gets loaded. This is a common lazy loading technique and produces a performant slider loading process that is asynchronous and scalable.

The lazy loading functionality can be disabled under the “Preloading” settings shown on the right, when editing a slider in the admin panel.

Ahh ok,

I have gone ahead and turned that off.
The slider now loads without which allows my site to display the secure lock symbol.

Thank you!

No problem. Happy to help ??
