"This page is unsecured" still showing when url is secure with an SSL certifcate

  1. I have a donation page where I'm using gravity forms with the authorize.net addon.

    See here:
    https://www.thehumanesociety.org/wp/donate/

    When I use the "force ssl" checkbox in the credit card field my donation page starts looping, and just keeps refreshing the page over and over.

    I installed the WordPress HTTPS plugin the forced that my donation page to be secure. The looping stopped but the "This page is unsecured" message in the credit card field still shows.

    I called my host and had them scan the page and they confirmed the the page was secure with an SSL certificate.

    Any ideas on how to fix this?

  2. Please test your page here:
    http://www.whynopadlock.com/

    Or, look at the source of the page. You will see lots of elements being called with http:// rather than https:// . You will need to do more configuration with your plugin, or use another plugin.

  3. Do you have any suggestions for other plugins to use?

  4. I don't have any other plugin suggestions specifically. You can contact that plugin author for their support or advice, or check the WordPress repository for other plugins.

    Once you install and properly configure a plugin, the page with the credit card form on it will be secure and the warning will go away.
