Support for SSL

Hi Brandon,

Checkout Tom's reply in this post: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gp-premium-and-ssl/

Could also try re-upload your logo as suggested here: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/generatepress-and-ssl/

Whenever you change your URL, whether it be a completely new URL or just adding the s to https://, you need to replace all of your old URLs to the use the new protocol.

This plugin is helpful for that: https://wordpress.org/plugins/velvet-blues-update-urls/

Of course, whenever making any database changes, do a database backup first.

Leo, thanks for the note and the quick reply. I understand what is being said in that thread, but unclear where to make those changes in my system.

Tom, I appreciate the speedy reply. You're incredible at supporting this theme. I used that plugin, but for whatever reason the specific image that's not https is the logo that's used in the header/navigation. Not sure why Velvet didn't update that link. I realize this isn't a theme problem, but any further thoughts?

Thanks again.

Ah, the control in the Customizer for that option uses a core WordPress control for uploading images. For whatever reason, Velvet Update URLs neglects to update URLs uploaded with that control.

You'll want to re-upload the logo in that option and the system will then decide to use https.

Brandon, Tom,

From what I recall, Velvet does not handle updating serialized strings. That is why I have been using Better Search / Replace, which does :)

"The search and replace functionality is heavily based on interconnect/it's great and open-source Search Replace DB script, modified to use WordPress native database functions to ensure compatibility."

Cheers!

Oh that's awesome - thanks for sharing Lyle!

Darn. Better Search & Replace couldn't find this string that's highlighted in yellow (which appears to be the culprit):

Looks like it's specifically tied to the sticky aspect of the navigation.

I tried your idea, Tom, of re-uploading the image so it'd pull in as https:, but that didn't work. If you look at my entire page's source code, https is referenced numerous times for that on-page content, including that logo, but not in that sticky navigation area.

Are your URLs in "Settings > General" both set to https?

They weren't! I just updated and flushed the cache and reloaded, but to no avail. Still mixed content there -- and that line is still the culprit.

Now re-upload it :)

Done...and I edited the Mobile Header Logo and Primary Navigation Sticky Logo...so there's no more reference to http://www.sideprojectplan, only https...but I still get that mixed content signal. And I think here's why:

There now are 7 total non-https references on that home page, to http://schema.org/ and to http://gmpg.org/ reference.

Therefore, it's not a GP issue at this point, so I understand if we can't solve it here, but if you're aware of how I can neutralize that and get to fully ssl, I'm all ears.

I really, really, really appreciate the help.

Fixed it. I re-uploaded the background image that was used through Elementor. Bingo.

Tom, Tom, Tom. Though I'm not a developer, I've tinkered with and sold Wordpress sites for 10 years. I've never encountered a person or company -- across numerous themes and plugins purchased -- as helpful as you, with a great product to go along with it.

Thank you so much.

Thank you! I really appreciate it :)

Glad you got everything working.
