Hello,

We have written a full guide to make the swap from http to https:

From the look of it, it is either a misinstalled SSL or elements called in http throughout your website.

Hello,

The true easiest way is if your web hosting providers are both using cPanel which is rather an industry standard.

In which case, you can generate a backup of your old web hosting account from your cPanel and restore it at the exact state it was on the old providers.

Not only it would include all your WordPress related files and the databases, but it would also includes all the others customisations you may have for your web hosting account such as :

– Emails accounts and their emails
– DNS zones modifications
– All the others domains of your web hosting files / database
– All the subdomains and their associated files / database

In most case, your new web hosting provider may take care of this for you. I know we do so we can assist our clients to overcome some backup restoration difficulty (MySQL version being the main backup restoration reason of failure)

Mixed content means there are some part of your websites still “invoking” content over http which isn’t defined by the base URL of your WordPress.

It could be for instance a line you added in your theme header through the editor in which case no plugins would be able to alter this.

We have written a short and yet concise guide on how to set up a SSL and thoroughly check the errors you may face:

And it seems that the plugin you are using is a great shortcut.
