Hi,

I am running my newly created website via SSL, but the site seems to serve mixed content. In essence, links to images etc contain full absolute URLs (instead of relative URLs).

As a result, the browers are reporting that my website is not secure (because it is loading mixed content).

Any way to make Nicepage render content that uses relative URLs instead of absolute URLs, so it wouldn't matter if the site runs http or https?

Hi Peter,

Unfortunately, the image URLs cannot be changed. But I created a task for our developers to search for possible solutions.

Thank you Olivia

Please note that I consider this either a bug or a security issue. Users expect to see the "secure" icon for websites that use HTTPS. In the case of my website (and even the nicepage.com website), the icon is missing.

I have added a screenshot of what Google Chrome reports (about the nicepage.com website, as well as about my new website).

HTTPS is not something extraordinary, I insist on considering this either a bug or a security issue, and I hope it will receive some priority

thanks

Hi,

Do you happen to have an update on this important security issue? (2 months to solve security issues is not really creating a sense of confidence... perhaps I should start looking for another tool to build my website template ?)

thanks

Olivia,

I am also having this issue. Could you please explain how this issue was resolved? I have tried mulitple methods to activate SSL and am experiencing no luck in getting SSL working while Nicepage plugin is enabled.

Hey Peter,

I recently was able to get past my issues with SSL. The process I used to troubleshoot and correct the issue was to replace my website with a default install of Wordpress complete with the "Hello World" homepage. Once the page was up, I had my hosting company install my SSL Certificate that was included in my package. (My hosting company doesn't allow for the SSL Cert to be installed from the Cpanel.) Then I waited for that change to occur by testing for my site at . Once the change was done, I installed the pluggin RSS (Really Simple SSL.) The RSS pluggin has a simple setup. If all is correctly RSS will see the SSL cert and redirect the pages to the https:// based urls. Once the default "Hello World" page was working with RSS configured and activated I then installed the Nicepage Theme which would upload my website and install the Nicepage pluggin. In my experience, this brought the site up on SSL with no mixed content.

In my case, I was trying to understand where my SSL issue was originating. Was the issue Nicepage, was it the hosting company or was it the redirect method? This method let me test without Nicepage in the mix. At that point I was able to troubleshoot with the hosting company who up to this point was telling that Nicepage was incompatible with SSL. Clearly they were wrong. At this point I have a relatively simple website up with no mixed content or format issues.

Prior to using this method, I was trying to turn on SSL after I had loaded my theme and the Nicepage pluggin was installed. That method just didn't work for me.

Hope that helps you.

Looks like you have more work to do. Googled "Fulcrum systems" came out to https://fulcrumsystems.com/. If that's your website your SSL is malfunctioning

SSL_ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR_ALERT

On top of that sounds way too complicated to install / use / configure an SSL plugin within the WP CMS. You need to handle that stuff directly on the hosting control pannel. "Let's Encrypt" is free, quick and very easy to use.

Hi,

The issue with HTTP URLs for images (reported in this thread) was fixed back in 2019. So there should be no problems with HTTPS sites.
If you still have any problems, please create a private and provide temporary access to the MS admin panel, describe the problem in more details.
