Conflict with SSL preventing widget editing

[starfiresports]

There appears to be a mixed content issue caused by the events calendar plugin that is making it so that I cannot edit my widget areas. The general error can be seen below, and a screen shot of the complete list of errors I can view in my console during inspection is attached. When the plugin is disabled, I am once again able to edit widgets.

Mixed Content: The page at ‘https://www.starfiresports.com/wp-admin/widgets.php’ was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure script ‘http://api.flattr.com/js/0.6/load.js?mode=auto’. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

Hey @starfiresports,

Thank you for reaching out to us! I’m very sorry about this issue you are experiencing, let me help you with that!

Can you please Clear/Purge your site’s cache and let me know if the issue persists after that?

If the issue persists, I would suggest you to run a complete database search-replace to make sure that everything is loading via https://.

If you have access to your server and have WP-CLI installed, you can easily search-replace your database with the following command (don’t forget to backup your database first):

wp search-replace "http://www.starfiresports.com" "https://www.starfiresports.com" && wp search-replace "http://starfiresports.com" "https://starfiresports.com"

You can also use a plugin like SSL Insecure Content Fixer to clean up your WordPress website’s HTTPS insecure content and mixed content warnings.

I hope this helps!

Let me know if you need anything else in the mean time and I’ll be happy to assist.

Regards,

Patricia

I thought my hosting provider had already tested this, but it looks like simply updating my PRO plugin resolved the issue. Thanks for taking the time to look at this when the fix was so simple!

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics.
