Die2mrw007 Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 I recently shifted my forum from http to https using SSL certificate provided by Lets Encrypt. I followed the procedure as changing the URL from http to https by editing the file conf_global.php and then clearing the cache from forum AdminCP and then refreshing the license key. Now that all the member profile images are broken. When right clicked on broken image and selecting "open image in new tab" of google chrome browser, it was showing 403 error and when noticed, the URL was served with http link and not https. When editing the http url of the broken image URL in the google chrome address bar to https, the image is opening fine. So, I came to conclusion that the images served in the forum is still using http and hence the images are broken. Please help me how to fix this error. My forum url is https://forum.gizmolord.com
Trahis Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) The images on your members seem to be fine.. is the issue fixed now for you? Another question.. do you use cPanel for your hosting ? If yes, then there is also an option to force all the requests to http to become https. If I remember well you can do that from the "Domains" menu. Not sure if that will help.. Also I remember that when I did the same thing.. it took several hours before everything worked just fine..(and yes I did the trick with the cache on the ip board). One last thing.. I remember but also not sure if related.. is to make sure you have a cronjob running on your site to make sure things are rolling. Cheers! Edited May 24, 2020 by Trahis
Pescao6 Posted May 29, 2020 Posted May 29, 2020 Did you update AdminCP > System > Posting > Remote images > Serve images from local server? > Insecure images (Recommended) ??? That should fix the error with your site showing as "unsecure" for displaying http images. But if you had a lot of http images on forum posts, those might need to be reuploaded or you might need to manually change the http to https on the HTML source code.
