ssl/https almost works

Trying to convert a site over.  Applied the free certificate from "Let's Encrypt" and made the changes to the header.inc file.  Everything is working except for the forumpost block which now shows as continuously trying to load.

 

Clicking the info icon next to the green lock icon in Firefox gives this message: "Firefox has blocked part of this page that is not secure."

 

Ideas?

Yes...already tried that (with clearing cache) and it made no difference.

 

Thanks for the suggestions though.

I use Let's Encrypt as well. I ran into some problems too before I finally figured it out. This fix is for all SSL certs, not just Let's Encrypt.

 

I did 2 things:

 

1) add this to your _header file & clear all cache.
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="upgrade-insecure-requests">

- This will try to load up secure versions of insecure objects on your pages.

 

2) In your Chrome browser (not sure how to see this same info in Firefox), go to your page, right click your mouse, and click "inspect". This will open up elements coding info. FIX all triangular exclamation point problems (see attached pic). They should relate to what is preventing your page from not displaying in SSL.

 

Doing both of these allowed Let's Encrypt to work on all my Dolphin sites. It was a pain in the ass for a few of 'em because there were like 7 or 8 things to fix, but it worked.

Sorry for the belated thanks. 

 

This did not fix the problem but I did find a convoluted process that worked for me.  I used Softaculous from Cpanel to clone http://www.mysite.com to https://temp.mysite.com.  Then I cloned https://temp.mysite.com to https://www.mysite.com.

 

Not sure why that made a difference but now everything, including the forumpost block, is working as it should.
