Title: How to solve non-secure items after isntall SSL
Post by: komang on September 04, 2017, 07:44:04

I just aware if there are some non-secure items on my website after I install SSL.

Here are the result of https://www.whynopadlock.com/check.php for https://ksmtour.com

Total number of items: 208
Number of insecure items: 60

Insecure URL: http://ksmtour.com/templates/system/images/10x10/minus.png
Found in: https://ksmtour.com/inner.php/minify/ec837306f34bb3f4e46230c5b6c59f9c.css

and there are many more.

Please help me to solve this issue.

Thanks

Regards,
Komang

Minified css/js have been cached in Elxis repository/cache with the old URL (the insecure one). Go to Elxis administration > Cache and deleted all cached files, especially the minifier ones. After this minified files will be re-generated in cache with the new URL (the secure one).

Note: If you have images in your articles with the http://... url you must edit them and change their source url to https://...
Right click front-end pages > View source and search the source (src="...") for images/css/js files with URLs starting from http://...
src="http:
Fix them.

Tip: If you use the image plugin (https://www.elxis.net/edc/multimedia/44.html) instead of direct image input in your articles you will never have similar problems even if you move the site to an other domain.

Hi Datahell,

It works, here the new result of the test: All 148 items called securely!


Anyway, I found hundreds of files on the Chace, is it safe if I delete all of those file?

Thanks a lot (for the tip as well)

Yes, it is safe to delete ALL of them. In fact, it is safe to delete any file in any folder of Elxis repository. Elxis will re-generate those needed. Just dont delete the folders themselves and make sure they are always write-able.

Elxis repository main folders (don't delete them, they must be write-able, you can safely delete any file inside them)
backup
cache
logs
other
sessions
tmp
