update theme urls
1 reply · Started by David on May 10, 2020
Hi,
When viewing the code of a GeneratePress webpage I noticed lots of urls that begin with "http://".
Here is a short video explaining the issue.
How can I remove (or change) these urls which are redirects?
Thank you for your help.
Hi there,
so what you're seeing is the xmlns and xmlns:xlink attributes.
These are not links and are never followed - they are an XML Namespace and are used to make the Doctype Declaration (DTD) - in real simple terms they tell the Browser which "Rules" to follow when interpreting this document type.
So there is no negative value here, and there would be no benefit ( security or ranking ) in changing it to HTTPS instead that may actually make the code invalid.
