Hmm...check in the Post Icon Manager and make sure the paths are relative. If they are, I'll have to dig deeper to find out where it's getting the http.

Oh, check the imgdir_misc stylevar (which is in the ImagePaths section).

imgdir_misc is showing the path images/styles/THEMENAME/misc

Nothing here that needs to be fixed, I think.

Checked Post Icon Manager too. And edited the links from http to https. Still padlock is not green.

How about a link to your site ... i can take a look and we can go from there ....

Another reason and probably the actual reason you don't have the green lock is because you don't have all of the following requirments:



- SSL Certificate is not expired
- Site is listed in the certificate
- Organisation details are not listed
- Encryption strength is below 2048-bit
- Signature Algorithm is strong
- Accepting only high encryption cipher suites
- No connection upgrade to 128-bit for old browsers
- No Extended Validation on company details
- No Debian weak key present
- No known security issues for this Certificate Authority


The ones highlighted are needed for the green lock to display all the time as well on top of not having any http served content on your site. You don't have a full ssl certificate which has your company details you only have a basic one just like I do which is why you don't have the green lock.

I looked for these post icons in the Post Icon Manager. Found the links. I changed the http to https. Nothing happened. When I went back to the forum and looked into the elements, they were still showing as http and not https (even when they had been changed to https in the Post Icon Manager). So then I deleted all the icons from the Post Icon Manager. Technically, this should have stopped displaying the post icons on the forum but it didn't. The URLs were still there, intact. This leads me to believe that these links are somewhere else. I tried searching for the URLs in all the templates, style variable editor and language and phrases manager. Didn't find the URLs. I'm not sure how else I can search for it. If it's in the website files, I don't know which one to look for.

Can someone help?

The problem is that you are on a shared host, otherwise, it is very likely to know what the issue is...

ok, so you are saying that the icons on your website show up only when the url request is HTTP not HTTPS?

if this is the case, then you need to edit the root to your forum adding https instead of http

you can post your website link to see what's going on!! or you can PM it to me to check it if you like,

"ok, so you are saying that the icons on your website show up only when the url request is HTTP not HTTPS?"
No, the icons are displayed regardless of how the URL is requested. What I'm saying is that I think the https on the URL bar is not green (as it should be after I installed SSL) because the links are loaded as http. I need to edit the links so they are loaded as https.


I think I might have figured it out. The post icon's links are in the SQL database. I know this because I ran a search of the post icon link in the SSH and it found the link in all the SQL database backups I have of my forum on the server.

Is there a way to edit them in the SQL database and replace the http with https in the links?

P.S. I'm on a dedicated server.

The problem has been solved.
