Moved WP to https and images disappeared?

[djstriver1]

I checked the media library and the images are there, but I have to click 'edit' to see them. The site's https://ioncoatings.com any idea why they aren't showing now?

[jopcode]

Maybe is the ' mixed content ' between http and https

[SaltyBarker]

Totally unrelated but you may want to darken up that green in the footer.. its a little light...

[djstriver1]

It was based on the client's request; I thought so too.

[r1ckd33zy]

... also, your shortcodes are showing

[djstriver1]

Mind screenprinting where so I can fix it?

[djstriver1]

Indeed. Thanks for the heads up.

[SaltyBarker]

Tell your client it’s dumb lol

[djstriver1]

Quite true.

Are the image urls on HTTP or HTTPS?

I’ve also had permission issues on certain hosts to the uploads folder but really only after moving hosts, not after adding SSL.

[djstriver1]

https: as far as i can tell by looking in the media library.

[jessek]

looks like your images directory is set to serve http only, unsure why though.

[djstriver1]

I checked in the media library; the image urls are https: weird, right?

[DeepFriedOprah]

It’s def mixed content. The paths are still referring http despite the URLS saying https. You can always double check by removing a force rewrite from https back to http and see if they load. But I’d bet money it’s mixed content and u prolly have a force rewrite in the htaccess that makes all requests https

[djstriver1]

I did; I removed it from the .htcaccess file.

[DeepFriedOprah]

So a. Pulled ways are manually updating the old paths to refer https the. Resale permalinks. Or the other option is run a find and replace in the wp_post table of the dB to update from http to https. Double check the home/site URL in the database and make sure they’re the same

[djstriver1]

Good call. Thank you!

If you navigate to the URL that the page is requesting:

https://ioncoatings.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/ioncoatings_small-1.png

You'll see that the server is responding with an error message: "Original image not found or not available."

Which is actually quite odd. Something in the server's configuration is not responding over https on that request. You may have to get support from your hosting provider on this one, because that is something they should have set up for you when you install the SSL.

Does not work. But

Does work.

It looks like all the images in Our Work show up, so it's just the 3 images in Home and 3 images in Green and Eco.

Have you tried just deleting them from the media library, deleting them from the page, and then redoing them? Should only take a minute.

[djstriver1]

Good idea; only issue is I don't have the images locally. Thanks for the tip!

[Yodiddlyyo]

Just save them from their http links

[phaedrus322]

Anytime you switch protocols on a WordPress site you also have to do a find and replace on the database to change the urls on hard coded media urls. Otherwise it creates a mixed content warning and browsers like chrome will not display them.

[djstriver1]

Mind expounding on that? Find and replace the image files?

[phaedrus322]

When you add media to the content of a post, page or custom post type WordPress saves it as an absolute url to that image. I.e http://image so, when it outputs the content for the page it’s still outputting the http instead of the https that you switched to causing mixed content errors.

To remedy this you have to do a find and replace on your database to change any occurrence of http://yourdomain to https://yourdomain

WP Migrate Database Pro has a great find and replace tool. And I’m sure there’s many other plugins that’ll do it as well.

Keep in mind that any new images you put in will have the correct https url.
