    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://........>
