[Resolved] How to eliminate an error link (http) to a not existing photo in header area

[Sibylle]

Before my site had https security I had uploaded a photo to the header area which I already eliminated from the media files several months ago. The source code still shows me a url-http-link to this photo. It makes my site slow because it’s in the header area and is uploaded with every page. Furthermore I am receiving the message from Google that my site is not secure because of some photos. I assume that this photo is the major problem.

How can I eliminate this http-error link (404) as shown when I scan the site?
Do I need to access source code? And how do I do that without breaking my site?

My host told me I need to contact the theme-developer for that issue, probably because the photo was uploaded in the header area.
This is what the website checking tool says:

Mixed Content: The page at ‘https://beste-vpn-anbieter.com/’ was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image ‘http://beste-vpn-anbieter.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/VPNLogo1.png’. This content should also be served over HTTPS.
(index):250 Uncaught ReferenceError: add_filter is not defined
at (index):250
contentscripts.js:297 init
/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/VPNLogo1.png Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

So I assume I need to eliminate the VPNLogo1.png photo link from the source code.

If you could help me with information on that, it would be awesome.
Thank you so much.

This is the code that needs to be eliminated:

Thanks for your help.

Sorry, it didn’t take my copy. I’ll try it here again. Hopefully this time it works

Hi there,

Try removing/reuploading the navigation logo: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/navigation-logo/
