After changing url to https, the slider isn't showing anymore on the Home page!

Hi, I’ve just changed the URL from http://scratchanddentrepair.co.uk/ to https://scratchanddentrepair.co.uk/ and now the slider on the home page isn’t displaying! I’ve tried deactivating it, then turning it back on again, saving the slider in rev slider again and duplicating the slider and changing the name, but nothing works and I have no idea now what to do with it! I used Better Search Replace plugin which changes the URL to https on all files and I’ve never had an issue with it before, but for some reason this time round the slider isn’t showing.

Hope you can help!

Thanks!

Hi There,

The slider is loading fine on my end:

Which browser & OS are you using?

Thanks.

Hi, that’s so weird! I’m on a mac using OS X 10.11.1 and using Chrome and Safari to view it on and neither show the slider! It doesn’t show on my ipad or iphone either, whereas it used to display on everything before changing to https://

Thanks!

Hi There,

Thanks for the clarification!

The slider is working in Mac Chrome but not in safari.

I see there is some error in the revolution slider due to the HTTP URL, Some resources still pointing to HTTP instead of HTTPS.

I would like to suggest you to please migrate the URL properly. You can do a proper search-replace of the URL using plugins.

Hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for looking into it. I’ve already used the Better Search Replace plugin to change the URLs and it says it has done them all. Plus the padlock is green and usually it isn’t if any links still have http instead of https, so it’s all confusing!

Is there a different plugin you can recommend that works better?

Thanks!

Hi there,

Better Search Replace should work fine in updating the links but you will have to make sure that you’re able to search for all occurrence of the non https URLs.

Have you also tried searching for:

http:\/\/scratchanddentrepair.co.uk\/
http:\/\/scratchanddentrepair.co.uk

Hope this helps.

Thank you, that sorted it! I wasn’t aware there were any other occurrences of the URL to look out for. Can I be cheeky and ask if there’s a way of finding out which other URLs are involved, or how you managed to find them as that’ll help me out for next time it happens on another site!

Thanks again for your help!

Hi There,

You can check in Developer Tool of browser to check which resources having issue.
Here is few resources will help you for safari developer tool.


Hope this helps!

Hi there,

You’re welcome! Another thing is that the URL strings where the slashes are converted to \/ would not be visible through the console that is something PHP does by default when json_encode is called and saving those values in the database. This is currently the case for Cornerstone. However, in Pro 2.0 we added a flag available in newer versions of PHP that will not add the slashes. If the user is on PHP 5.5 or later, the next time they save that page it will not have escaped URLs. Though it will still be possible that some URLs will not have the mentioned format depending on how other plugins handle it.

So, in case you will have to search for unupdated URLs try going to the phpMyAdmin and check the URL formats and use those formats to search using Better Search and Replace.

I have absolutely no idea what any of that means (unfortunately I’m not a developer), but I appreciate you going into more detail!

Thanks again!
