My lock box was green and now it isn't. How do I go about fixing that without totally messing up? So not technical.

Hope you have resolved it by now?

sure did, thanks Ibrahim.

Good then.

Glad you got this resolved Merry.

Me too! Love the help we can get here.

Try this:

Yep. I had the same problem. It comes down to any links or images you have that are http should be changed to https. You can do that manually by editing the actual HTML code.

I hope all of these answers have helped you.

Sincerely,
Steph

Yeah, something on your site is insecure, likely an image that you are linking to that is on http. As mentioned below, go to that site and it will let you know why.

I've had the same issue and did not find out what the problem was, until I entered my website here: https://www.whynopadlock.com/

Then it listed me a banner which I simply removed, and it was fine...

thank you Gerlinde!

Yes, just one and now it is good to go. You are awesome Gerlinde. Thank you again

Perfect! :) Glad it helped!

Great tool, I just used it and found 1 problem. I'm not sure how to fix it, could you help me with this?

Yes, you are right! Not sure what the issue might be as it doesn't show it anymore when I click the "i" (unless it's the popup block (default) it shows in the list... but I am not an expert in this...

When I test it here https://www.thesslstore.com/ssltools/why-no-padlock.php it gives me no error... hm...

I was referring to an error it found on my website.

Yes, I know... I did some research and it must have to do with a form tag (newsletter?):

oh ok, thank you. I guess so but I can't find it.

Ok, when you hit F12 and then "Console", it gives me the mixed content (see sreenshot below), so the issue is the subscribe widget which has only http...

I repeat: I'm not the expert of this, I only try to find out... :)

Thank you so much for finding that. I guess I will have to add a plugin for that like I did on my other site.

I have the same issue as Catwoman too.

I hit F12 but nothing happened?

What plugin is that? Did you manage to solve the green padlock issue?

Hi, F12 works in Chrome. When I do this with your website, it gives me an error I don't know: No idea what it is... maybe it has to do with and ad on the site? Some experts should answer here :D

I used this plugin Really Simple SSL.

Is your site padlock showing as green when you use this plugin?

Yes, I had to add it to 2 of my sites to get the padlock. Here is a link for more info.

I added a comment for a WA member and in the drop down I saw a bogus email with parts of my real email in it. Why would this happen, does anyone know? I also had some strange

Are you sure you never added it in the past by mistake? Maybe you once misspelled your address or something and the system still has it?

no Ben, it was so crazy and so long and it is the first time on the email. I had some websites showing up once that were not mine too. Support has been trying to help and suggested I clear my cache too. this is how it came out as mmerryc7Wlive.caerryc7@live.ca pretty crazy. Thanks for trying to help. Appreciated

Oh no! It was probably a system glitch that was confusing and mixing your account information with somebody else's. I hope it gets fixed soon!

yes, thanks Ben.

YEA EVERY DAY I TRY TO GET BACK INTO MY WEB. TO FINISH IT MY PASSWORD DOSNT WORK.THEN THEY CHANGE IT FOR ME AND THE SAME THING HAPPENDS AGAIN.ITS BEEN DOING THIS FOR DAYS.

I saw something like this (it did not happen to me) and reported it as spam today.

Thank you Jessica. Do I just send it to support? It is scary to see another email in your private information here.

I just clicked the drop down arrow that is at the top right of all our comments here. You could contact support as well though. I did not since it was not directed at me but if it was directed at you, you probably should.

It might make sense to open a ticket so support is at least aware of the issue.

I recently switched from the SEO we have to Yoast SEO and was wondering if anyone had a preference, is one better than the other etc.

Today I was having an issue with keywords, I posted a blog and a question. I received a comment from a member, saying that he prefer Yoast.

I like Yoast best too. I tried both and then came back to Yoast.

I haven't had a chance to use either one yet, but I've seen good reviews on both!

I'm using both at the same time for a couple of site and just SEO for others, Yoast seems to work ok for me, unless of course I'm missing something which is quite possilbe

I think Yoast has better features, but I am using All In One SEO. I didn't know we could use both, so I'm actually going to do that, since I want the added features of Yoast. I say got with Yoast Merry.

I just added Yoast John and then put the other seo to sleep for a bit. I really like the extra help for readability in my content. Thank you for replying. Appreciate it.

Yeah I want to use Yoast too but I don't want to ruin anything. Lucky you!

some people prefer either one and some a combination of the two.

Not sure why this is happening but all my recent comments are going into my feedback feed. I just tested it. Not sure where or how to fix this. Tried a few different things

Yes, John here. It was a member who had sent two comments. Both went to feedback, so I tested, and same thing. Just not sure if I have changed something or what.

Here on WA?

Comments going into feedback. how do I fix this?
