Thanks for the reply Rui.
How did my last two themes manage to serve https files without me changing the the wordpress and site url? Woocommerce allows the end user to force ssl on the checkout and account pages thus calling for all elements to be served over https on those pages.
I understand what you’re saying, but you shouldn’t have to change the site url if the files are being served using relative paths. It would appear that the framework is at fault (by using the wordpress absolute media path).
In this instance it appears that the plugin will solve the problem.
Many thanks,
Tonn
