How to serve everything from https to implement an SSL

[Bitedge]

I have applied a lets encrypt SSL to

https://www.bit88.co/

but there are 2 problems.

1.
We are not getting the padlock icon

2.
his was before the SSL

this is now
https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.bit88.co/k9rL68Cv
The scores have gone down for
Combine images using CSS sprites
and
Serve resources from a consistent URL

I tried

WP Force SSL & HTTPS SSL Redirect

and it did not help

Support at my hosting have tried and helped a lot replacing http with https, at one point we got it working but it broke some things like the logo, a widget and the related posts display so we undid that. They now say the problem is the theme

The issue comes from the theme. It appears that the website URL is hardcoded upon the installation. I believe that the siteURL was set as “http://www.bit88.co” when you installed the theme and it remembered that setting forever. You could try to install a new theme. Lets say one of the defaults that come for free like “twentyfifteen” Then delete yours “flexform” and then re-install it. Always back up the website before making such changes.

This solution is kind of radical and regrettably I cannot guarantee that it would work. Instead, I would recommend to contact the theme developers for assistance. There could be much easier and harmless solution

So how can we fix the problems?

Hi,

I only see one warning on the site, which is related to your child theme. It looks like you have included an image with a hardcoded URL using HTTP. You can see the error also using this: https://www.whynopadlock.com/check.php.

Look inside your child theme CSS for any images you are using which look like this: http://www.bitedge.co/wp-content/themes/flexform-child/images/sprite.png

Thanks.
