Bendensin Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 I just had a security certificate installed. When I am viewing my site, I see the "lock" image to the left of the URL with a yellow warning sign. When I mouse over it, it says: "This website does not supply identity information." When I click on it, it says www.turkeycentral.com Connection is not secure Parts of this page are not secure (such as images). I contact my host (Hostgator) about this issue, and they said the following: The warning symbol that you are seeing is basically stating that some of the content, such as images, are not being passed through https, and therefore are considered non-secure items. Unfortunately, this is a coding issue, and not something that we could assist you with. You may need to consider hiring a developer that could assist you with the task. Is there anything I can do to actually secure my site at this point? Or is there someone out there who can help?
opentype Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Use this to find the problematic resources (usually images): https://www.whynopadlock.com What to do about it, depends on the result of this check.

This image links to non https which will give the yellow ! mark - you may find you have more as well
Bendensin Posted October 19, 2016 Author Posted October 19, 2016 Excellent resource! Thanks for the assistance, Opentype and Cloud9. I now have a green padlock! The following is for anyone else who has the same issue--this is how I fixed it: Firstly, none of these problems were caused by Invision Power Community Suite--they were all caused by something I added, and a customized theme, and a third-party application. Regarding the one advertising image, changing the URL in the block which was calling it fixed the that problem. I was also using a custom skin. The background images I was using with that skin were linked in the CSS with an "http://" prefix. I changed the css in my custom skin to call the background images from "https://" and that was fixed. Then, According to a second check at whynotpadlock.com, I still had two insecure items left: Insecure URL: http://www.turkeycentral.com/uploads/set_resources_7/84c1e40ea0e759e3f1505eb1788ddf3c_flags16.png Found in: https://www.turkeycentral.com/uploads/css_built_7/20446cf2d164adcc029377cb04d43d17_flags.css.0b477d1b5f1262f47890047e34c9e9d1.css?v=818ce4fff2 Insecure URL: http://www.turkeycentral.com/uploads/set_resources_7/84c1e40ea0e759e3f1505eb1788ddf3c_flags32.png Found in: https://www.turkeycentral.com/uploads/css_built_7/20446cf2d164adcc029377cb04d43d17_flags.css.0b477d1b5f1262f47890047e34c9e9d1.css?v=818ce4fff2 I couldn't figure out what these might be. So I went to Admin => Customization => Themes and clicked to edit my custom theme. I searched the theme for "flags16.png" and "flags32.png" found the style sheets which referenced them. There was nothing in the style sheets which had "http://" or any other such link anywhere in them (just a variable for the link), so I just re-saved the style sheets without doing anything to them. This last problem was probably a result of the style sheets being part of a third-party application. Anyway, after I re-saved the style sheets, I re-ran the check at whynopadlock.com, and found that my site was error-free. And I now have the green padlock.
