[Support request] move over to https – logo, favicon and mobile logo issues

[Dan]

Hi
After moving the site to https I got the mixed content error.
It was coming from the site’s favicon and header logos.
Even after doing a search replace in the db, the http value of these images was not replaced to https.
Are these values not stored in the db?
Only after removing and setting them up again (didn’t need to re-upload, just to select them again from the media library), was I able to get it sorted out.

Do you have any insight on this?
Thanks
Dan

Just an FYI – perhaps you are using this script but it can help with serialized data

It’s dangerous but very effective and I’ve been using it for years

Hi Burt, yes, that’s the script I’m using.

I usually use Velvet Blues Update URLs.

In the event those don’t work, I usually just re-upload the affected images in the Customizer.

Thanks Tom.
Do you know if customizer and page builder urls are problematic in the sense that they are not saved in the db?

Dan,

I’ve updated about a dozen sites to SSL this year and I’ve been surprised at the seemingly random nature of different elements that are not updated to https.

Mostly it seems to be imaged, CSS background images in plugins, etc. Customize and visual editors didn’t seem to be the issue.

The common element was the sites were hosted on wpengine and I used the PHP script

Sometimes only a few items and the last one was generate press was clean

All Customizer values are saved in the database. I’m not sure why those plugins can’t reach some of the values sometimes. It may be due to the way the values are serialized.

Thanks Tom, Thanks Burt,
The inconsistency is what drives me nuts here.
