6 -> have you ever had that issue where
7.52 -> you've found
8.08 -> that your website isn't secure even
10.16 -> though you've set up an ssl certificate
12.08 -> like let's encrypt
15.599 -> then you've checked out the console and
17.119 -> the developer tools and noticed a
18.56 -> warning about mixed contents
20.32 -> where the site requested an insecure
22.08 -> image or file
24.16 -> this is actually quite a common issue
25.68 -> with wordpress and it happens as you add
27.279 -> things like
27.84 -> image files into your media folder on
29.84 -> your actual wordpress dashboard
31.84 -> it's thought you've got quite a quick
33.12 -> and easy way of fixing it i'm going to
34.559 -> do this by going to plugins here
36.64 -> and add new there's a plugin here called
39.76 -> better search and replace this is the
41.04 -> one that i've installed
42.48 -> and then once you've installed it and
43.84 -> activated it actually appears here in
45.44 -> your tools
46.48 -> see right here at the bottom i click on
48.32 -> better search and replace
50.079 -> and then to resolve the issue all we're
51.92 -> going to do is we're going to change all
53.36 -> the
54 -> files addresses in the database from
56 -> http
57.28 -> to https i'm going to do this like so
59.84 -> here
60.399 -> i'm going to put http and then the
62.64 -> column
64 -> and then replace that with https colon
67.04 -> slash
67.92 -> i'm going to select all of the databases
70.32 -> just to run through here now i can do
71.92 -> this as a dry run
73.2 -> and click searcher in place just to see
75.2 -> how many files actually are
76.88 -> loaded not secure let's check that out
82.08 -> as we can see there the dry runs picked
83.92 -> up 69 table searched 17 cells
86.64 -> found there that need to be updated none
89.119 -> of it makes it a dry run this first time
91.36 -> so i'm going to do that same thing again
92.72 -> this time i'm going to turn the dryer on
94.159 -> off
94.56 -> and i'm just going to replace all of the
96.24 -> information that i want
101.04 -> there we go all the cells have been
102.56 -> updated now if i go back to my website
105.68 -> i should find here ta-da secure
112.84 -> easy
114.079 -> you
