tried this idiotic advice. broke my site. luckily it wasnt too different than the code and i had a screenshot of it
advice below. seems my quote and other buttons dont work
You will have to need to redirect all your traffics from HTTP to HTTPS. A rewrite rule can do this for you. Use this code instead of WordPress’s original rewrite rule (if you are not using cache) in your .htaccess file:
Im just trying to get m site fully https with the lock, thats all. and some people are saying these recommendations are working just 2-3 months ago. So Im trying to find a solution. i take screenshots and text xopies of files along the way, as well as make backups before messing with anything that can be daamging. you said I had to change every photo(by html) to gt it to read correctly, I know you are the professional I just dont see how, if I have 10 problems and fix 1, it should show 9 problems left in theory, right?
Yes, I mean to you have an example of a particular image whose link you fixed on your site which the whynopadlock site still claims is loaded insecurely?
So the possibility that I go in and simply add an https instead of http to all of the images on all my pages could correct this, even though the image I corrected was the only image on that the path of that page. Ok I will give it a shot. there is no behind the scenes magic that occurs that even if i manually select each image and pint them to https that wordpress will still somehow show them as http? Also, once done, do I do this with every image I upload whichi would be easier than this, or is there a way to actually set word press to point to the https links automatically?
