How to Fix Mixed Content SSL Errors

These errors occur when resources are loaded from an unsecured HTTP connection on a SSL enabled website (HTTPS connection).

Updated over 5 months ago

Mixed Content Errors are usually created by having the WordPress installation incorrectly configured to match the correct HTTPS protocol.

If a WordPress website has Mixed Content errors, Images, Icons, and Custom Fonts will not be loaded correctly.

This usually happens when:

  • The website is moved from a staging domain (which uses HTTP) to a live domain where a valid SSL certificate is used

  • The SLL certificate was installed after WordPress was installed
