SSL - issues with some images and header logo

BB Theme
1

Hi
I have just installed SSL certificate to my site and used really simple ssl to activate it. Now my logo in the header has disappeared along with various images throughout the site.

I notice there are some similar topics but have been unable to find a solution. Has anyone managed to resolve this issue please?
Thanks

You dont need a SSL plugin, all that does is load your entire site into a PHP ram buffer then it replaces http urls with https ones, this slows down your site and uses a lot of memory and almost always kills sites on low end hosting.

Simply change your sites url in wp settings to https, your site is now ssl enabled.

The you need to use a search and replace plugin to find all the old saved http urls in the db and replace them with https, after doing a backup of course.

Hi
Thank you for that. I have done everything you mentioned, and it hasn’t made any difference!
I have checked the urls in the media folder, and they all seem correct. Any other suggestions please?
Thank you

If you have replaced all the urls in the database, and reset the compiled css there shouldn’t be anything left to do, if you provide a URL it might help

Hi
I haven’t ‘reset the compiled css’ is this something a novice can do?
Thanks

If you open the browser dev tools you’ll instantly see the issue. Altho you updated the URLs to https you failed to change the domain name for all the URLs.

Your domain is https://rafengineering.co.uk/ but every single image is being served from https://217.199.187.190/jdpreview.co.uk

Hi
Thank you.
Not being an expert, is this easily resolved please

Yea, same way you updated the urls to HTTPS with a search replace plugin.

Hi
Thank you for all your help. For some reason this hasn’t worked. I am trying to work out how this happened. Is there anywhere else I should be looking when changing the url.

No, its saved in the DB if you have done a searcch and replace all you need to do is clear the css/js cache in the bb admin settings then the new css files will be generated with your new urls.

All else fails you took. backup earlier right? You can just revert and start again

I’ll give that a go…and yes, took a back up :slight_smile: Thank you
