Problem getting https to show in google

  • So I hope this is the right subforum for this. I bought an ssl cert from A Small Orange for the website listed above. I created a WP blog page here:

    I was on a chat with small orange and the guy couldn’t help me though he said I should change the link to the blog which I had linked to using http – I fixed those links on every page of my site to be https and the blog page is showing secure which you can see if you click on the link. The guy on chat also gave me a link that analyzed my home page showing where there were problems. The problems were all tied to the images I was using for my links on my website (not my blog page) and javascript files in the head. I added in front of all the img src and other code for the js files. Two notes on all that – I build my site and I didn’t really know what I was doing, and for some reason the Links link image isn’t showing.

    Anyway, I thought that at least that page would show green and secure but it doesn’t.

    Main question: does anyone know how to get all my pages showing secure with https? Do I need to do a redirect? I created an .htaccess file in my root directory with php code from the knowledge base site for my host but that didn’t seem to do anything. That php was for I guess redirect of http to https. I’m at a loss how to fix this. I paid for an ssl cert but google doesn’t see it.

    Thanks!
    Jim
    BTW, I have a bunch of youtube videos in my watchlist to hopefully get an answer. YHave to go walk my dog now – check back later.

    Install the plugin “better search replace”. Search for https://fairmountpetservice.com/Blog and replace with https://fairmountpetservice.com/Blog.

    the blog page is now showing as https when you click on links from my website, but my website and the blog page of my website comes up as the http versions in google search. Why isn’t Google recognizing my ssl cert?

    Go to Google Webmaster Tools and tell it you’ve changed to https, then wait a week or so for the index and results to be updated.

    Where? In search console? Didn’t see a link for anything like that. I added the httrs versions to my Properties.

    Also, I created .htaccess file with this:

    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/directory
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

    Still nothing

    No matter what you do, it will take Google a while to notice.
