Resolve a Mixed Content Report Item

If a web page loads on HTTPS, yet one of the images, documents, or links to external references are on HTTP, you will get mixed-content warnings from the browser. To ensure that sites do not have mixed content, site owners should make sure that all links to their site are relative and that links to external sites reference HTTPS.

 

Pages

  1. Go to the designated PageURL (the link in Column A).
  2. Locate the element with the insecure reference
    • The WidgetType (Column B) will help you narrow down the type of widget that contains the reference.
    • The HTMLElement tag (Column C) will help you determine the appropriate element type (such as image or iframe).
  3. You can also search for a specific element by opening the Browser Tools with F12. If you select the Elements tab, you can search for the tag with Ctrl-F to find the correct element. The element’s reference will still need to be updated in the appropriate widget.
  4. Once you have determined which widget contains the insecure reference. If the element is in an Editor widget select the HTML (Code) view of an Editor and locate the HtmlElement (Column C) element. You can search for the tag using Ctrl-F.
  5. For links that are on your site, use Relative URLs.
  6. For links to external sites, modify the URL to use “HTTPS” rather than “HTTP”. If the item does not display properly with “HTTPS” in its reference link, you may have to contact whoever manages the content you are attempting to reference for updated links.

 

Info Advanced

  1. To fix issues in the Info Advanced module, navigate to the flagged item, and toggle the HTML view
  2. Locate the code written in the HtmlElement code or search for HTTP://
