SSL with VBadvanced

[RichieBoy67]

Hello,

I just found out the hard way Vbadvanced will not play well after an ssl change. It is the images from what I see.. misc/logo.jpg, etc.

Is there a fix for this that doesn't require me going through the files and changing those?

Thanks

You could always try adding a replacement variable.

Thanks, tried that..also used the install file to change images but still many of the main images and urls are wrong.. still trying the replacements though.

Update your image paths via vba_cmps_install.

My vba_cmps is secure.

Yeah, I did that.. changed many but not all.

I will run that again though..

lol I tell people to use that here too.. Been using that for a long time.

I think I got it now. I am not sure why but when changing the urls via the installer the changes were not sticking. I had to go through it 4 times.. almost have everything worked out now.

I have done about 15 sites to https now both wordpress, vbulletin and others. This site was a pain because of vbsso wordpress instegration and vbadvanced..

Anyways, thanks brother

I knew there was nothing I could tell you that you didn't already know Richie.
It is the simplest things we forget that are the answers to fix many things.

ofcourse these things happen when working with programs that have not been updated since 2014.. :D

I take it you've tried a rebuild styles after you made the https changes?

I suppose a temp fix while you are trying to sort it would be add a upgrade insecure request header (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Security-Policy/upgrade-insecure-requests) (I do this on my sites anyway), I send mine directly from IIS but it can be added as a metatag.
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="upgrade-insecure-requests">

This just happened to me also, I started using SSL last week and all the images for vbadvanced and otherwise were trying to load from the root directory instead of /images/. After a few style rebuilds, cache clearing & curses it was working fine again.
