I’ve been migrating my site to HTTPS and the last mixed content errors I need to fix are for endpoints on forms which are pointing to ‘http’ instead of ‘https’.

The admin toolbar is causing one, which I don’t suppose matters to anyone but me.

The other is for the GD Search widget:
```
<form class="geodir-listing-search gd-search-bar-style " name="geodir-listing-search" action="http://my.site.com/" method="get”>
```
I found this thread which was a great help in resolving paths to assets: Http to https migration question: https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/http-to-https-migration-question/

But the “Better search replace” plugin didn’t resolve the endpoint(s) when replacing the old domains in the DB.

Can you post URL and WP admin please, and the page you have that error? Thanks.

I guess you tried the search and replace as a network administrator?
I am not sure why it did not replace, maybe a cloudflare issue. Or the HTTPS plugin, which is normally not needed if SSL is implemented correctly.
I’ll get one of the others to have a look too, can you make that account a super admin?
Thanks.

Yes I ran the search and replace on the site as a super admin.

I put Cloudflare into developer mode and the GD Booster isn’t working at the moment anyway, so that was disabled.

Based on what you said I also ran the search and replace from the parent site, on the multisite this is based on. This found and made another 1030 changes to the database, but I still have the same issue with the endpoints.

I also tried disabling the HTTPS plugin but this results in all the lazy loaded images also causing mixed content errors and not fixing the endpoints. Plus the maps didn’t load.

I set the account to super admin.

Hello,

The network admin area seems to be stuck in a redirect loop, can u access it?

If you can also provide FTP info and disable CF again i can take a closer look.

Thanks,

Stiofan

Thanks for the info, i am not sure what is going on with your setup, but even things like “get_home_url()” are returning non SSL url’s, but the setting seem correct, i guess it must be some 3rd part influence like a plugin or custom code?

Ok, thanks for taking a look. I’ll have to take a closer look at the weekend. There’s not really any custom code, but I’ll have to try deactivating plugins to narrow down the issue.
