    Oh yeah, a link to the site would be good too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 661 ✭✭✭jamesbil


    thats disabled at jamesbillingsfurniture.com


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,475 ✭✭✭daymobrew


    It looks like the url in Settings/General has http instead of https.
    Change that (it will log you out when you Save) and it'll be a good step towards not needing Really Simple SSL.

    I'm heading out for a walk but will check when I get back.

    http://jamesbillingsfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/cropped-untitled-7-1.png is loaded over http.
    Is this your logo?
    Fixing it is probably as simple as setting it as the logo again.
    (You may have to upload it again).

    This was on the home page. All the other pages seemed fine.

    ok, really simple ssl is disabled and I updated the address to https in settings/general
    however i'm still getting a not secure message in the address bar, no padlock symbol

    also not showing product images or homepage logo. If really simple ssl is on its all ok


  • Registered Users Posts: 661 ✭✭✭jamesbil


    ive switched it back on in case I get any visitors


  • Registered Users Posts: 661 ✭✭✭jamesbil


    So as far as I can work out auto optimise and w3 total cache are messing things up.
    When they are activated my homepage logo disappears as do all my product images in "store"

    Think I've fixed the ssl issue. Looked at my cpanel details, address wass http: so I changed it to https:

    Go here and follow step 6 onwards to properly setup your ssl and then check for any mixed content and how to fix it.

    Have you tried activating one at a time?
    Is it possible that those plugins have cached stuff from before you made the Site Address change?

    I have tried one at a time.
    And yes they did cache before I made the address change.

    Is the SSL all sorted now?

    only because I turned on really simple ssl
    I have mixed content without it.

    Even after you cleared the Autoptimize and W3 Total Cache caches?

    The .htaccess code should help. I use it on my sites:
    IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://jamesbillingsfurniture.com/$1 [R,L]
    </IfModule>

    I tried adding that but my site wouldn't work with it. If I did it right.
    I went to cpanel/filemanager/my site then right click and edit to add it.

    Did you go through this?

    As far as I could, tho now I think I was looking at the wrong .htaccess file.
    Should it be the one in public html?

    Step 7 (really simple ssl works.)

    Yes, the one in public_html. The one with the WordPress rules:
    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    
    # END WordPress

    Thanks,
    So I guess disable really simple ssl plugin, then do this?


  • Registered Users Posts: 661 ✭✭✭jamesbil


    Like this?
    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://jamesbillingsfurniture.com/$1 [R,L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    Ok that seems to be working, with no mixed content issues!

    Now I need to improve minify and expires headers


  • Registered Users Posts: 661 ✭✭✭jamesbil


    In the waterfall tab of gtmetrix this file is very slow to load
    https://jamesbillingsfurniture.com/?wc-ajax=get_refreshed_fragments

    any ideas?

    Rodolfo Melogli has a good overview of get_refreshed_fragments here:

    That explains it well thanks. Ill leave it enabled for now.

    Do you think I should use a cdn now?


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 17,642 Mod ✭✭✭✭Graham


    I would at this point, you can still refine again later if you need to.


  • Registered Users Posts: 661 ✭✭✭jamesbil


    Ok, something strange going on.

    Cleared my browser cache. My website now says not secure. If I add the code to the .htaccess file it still says not secure and my logo disappears as do all product images in /store.
    Checked it in chrome and ms edge
