    Hi there, I’m using my host provider, mediatemple where I set up a ssl certificate usins SSLFORFREE.com. I’m also using cloudflare and it’s set up quite nicely.

    However, I still get the informative “i” on the url bar and not the lock. Any ideas what I’m missing here? I’ve set this up before for a previous site with no hiccups.

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

    I question if cloudflare is even being leveraged since a lot of my css, js has total cache headers and no-cache set. So i dont know if cloudflares always use https and Automatic HTTPS Rewrites is being leveraged —

    I get a lock icon when I visit from both Chrome and FF. Maybe traffic from you gets handled differently since you’re the account holder? IDK, all I know it it appears to be fine from my end.

    Thanks BCWorkz! This helped troubleshoot for me.

    It seemed everyone had the lock except me on chrome. I did have the lock on Firefox but was annoyed I did not get the lock but instead the I symbol.

    After removing and adding an SSL Certificate a few times, I could not understand why chrome still gave me the informative ‘I’ symbol for my homepage. This resulted in the site not being fully secure even though it showed a valid certificate.

    I reset settings, and still same issue. I uninstalled chrome, and still same issue. The lock would not appear. Finally I found an article that had 4 suggestions and one of them was to rename the site url in WordPress Settings -> General. Obviously I did so and then could not access my home page or admin. I went to the wp_options table in my DB and changed the url back. This surprisingly fixed the issue and now have the lock on chrome.
