[Resolved] SSL broken when using video in header

[Philippe]

As soon as I had a video to the page header background: https://pixabay.com/en/videos/download/video-913_large.mp4 ssl is broken. I see this in the dev tool:

Mixed Content: The page at ‘https://www.fullydroned.com/‘ was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure video ‘http://player.vimeo.com/external/141851656.hd.mp4?s=6580aac30afe4c96c200ee284895a952bc88b627&profile_id=119’. This content should also be served over HTTPS.

I have “SSL insecure content” plugin installed for wordpress, and it fixes all ssl issues … except this one when I add a video …

Please help in fixing this issue.
Thank You

Hi there,

So you’re using a Vimeo video as your background? Vimeo would have to serve their video over https for it to work.

You can fix it by hosting the video yourself.

the thing is i pasted a direct link to the video on pixabay.com, they must redirect to vimeo …hosting myself was the next thing I was gonna do !
TY 🙂
