I'm getting an message show up asking if I would like to display secure and non-secure items. How do I stop that?
Sometimes when you viewing a secure web page (https) your browser will throw up a message about displaying secure and non secure items on the page - do you want to proceed? This is because all items on a secure page must be from a secure address and something on the page is coming from a non-secure address. This can be off putting for a potential customer as they may think your method of taking payment is not secure when in reality all the browser is complaining about is a couple of links or images.
To fix this:
* using Firefox click on the padlock to show the detail and authenticity of the SSL certificate
* click on the 'media' tab
* this will list the items on the page that are pointing to http in place of https
* you now need to work through these links and make them relative links rather than hard coded in the relevant layouts
ie change:
http://www.yourdomain.co.uk/acatalog/image2.gif
to:
/image2.gif
The software will then correctly identify this link as:
https://www.yourdomain.co.uk/acatalog/image2.html
If using Internet Explorer you will have to view the source of the page and search for anything pointing to http://.
Note that links to other pages are allowed (ie <a href="http://.......).
Look for images, for example: <img src="http://........>
