When you encounter a “Mixed Content” error in WordPress, it means that your website contains a combination of secure (HTTPS) and non-secure (HTTP) content. To troubleshoot and resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:

1. Identify the Mixed Content: Load your website in a web browser and check the browser’s developer console for any warnings or errors related to “Mixed Content.” These messages will indicate which specific resources, such as images, scripts, or stylesheets, are being loaded insecurely.
2. Use a Plugin: There are plugins available, such as Really Simple SSL or SSL Insecure Content Fixer, that are designed to handle the necessary changes to ensure all content is served securely over HTTPS. Installing and activating one of these plugins can automatically fix the Mixed Content issue.
3. Update Internal Links: In your WordPress dashboard, navigate to “Settings” and then “General.” Make sure that both the “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)” are using the HTTPS protocol. This ensures that all internal links on your site point to the secure version.
4. Update Content and Media URLs: You can use plugins like Better Search Replace or Velvet Blues Update URLs to search and replace any instances of non-secure URLs in your content and media files. By updating the URLs to use the HTTPS protocol, you ensure that all resources are loaded securely.
5. Update Theme and Plugin Files: If your theme or plugins are loading resources insecurely, you may need to update their code. Check the documentation or support forums for each theme and plugin to see if there are any recommended steps or updates available to address the Mixed Content issue.
6. Update Custom Code and Templates: If you have custom code or templates in your theme that reference non-secure URLs, you’ll need to modify them to use the HTTPS protocol. Look for any hardcoded links to images, stylesheets, or scripts and update them accordingly.
7. Use Content Security Policy (CSP): Implementing a Content Security Policy in your website’s headers can provide stricter security controls and prevent the loading of mixed content. You can achieve this by using plugins or by adding custom code to your theme’s functions.php file or a plugin file.
8. Clear Browser Cache: After making changes to your WordPress site, it’s important to clear your browser cache. This ensures that your browser fetches the updated content and doesn’t cache any previous mixed content warnings.
