SSL Green lock appear only on Wordpress admin URL

starwargift · Oct 9, 2017

I have just install FREE SSL on my domain. But i found something strange that the URL shown exactly as https://mydomain.com . However, there is no green lock + "secure" in front of the URL of pages. The green lock + "secure" only appear on the wordpress's admin page.

Does anyone know how to fix it?

Thank You!

yes your site have insecure content or url for that reason it is not showing. As your site is wordpress know then you can install this plugins to make it secure fully

Is the lock grayed out or does the gray circle appear?

put in the pages that its not secure and it will let you know what to do.

There are some insecure http:// called js/css/image link exists for the primary domain. Just change them with https:// link to fix your problem.

1. Install "Better Search and Replace" plugin and search your posts database for "http://yoursite.tld" and "http://www.yoursite.tld" and replace them to "https:/www./yoursite.tld" or "https://yoursite.tld", whichever you've opted for.
2. Check your theme settings where you've used "http" url for your logo and images and change them to "https". Don't forget the footer if you've used your url there..

You are not seeing green bar on your site homepage is because of mixed content. Replace all you Non https url to https including images. This will sort out your problem.

You can use WP Force SSL plugin as well. Or try a method of redirecting non SSL contents to SSL or something.

You should replace the every instance of http in your code/script/configuration/database with https. Image paths should be define with https.

You will need to contact your web-developer and ask him to update it for you. Once this will be done then green padlock will be visible in the browser.

OP install the second mentioned plugin as I too fixed this recently for a client.Any other question you ask is you just wasting your time

You can easily fix this with cloudflare flexible SSL.

First, install these free plugins:
** Cloudflare Flexible SSL
** Really Simple SSL
You need to activate cloudflare flexible SSL first before Really Simple SSL.

Secondly, head over to your cloudflare dashboard under "PAGE RULE". Click to add rule :
Follow these instructions:

1) Set page rule as : http://*your domain.com/*

2) Select " Always choose HTTPS" as rule for that page and then hit save and deploy.

This will surely fix those errors of mixed content.

Hope this will help you!
