No images showing when referencing site using https

Post by developer »

I am sure this is covered somewhere, but I'm not finding it.

I have an older site which used http; protocol, and if I call that using https: none of the images are showing.
I *think* this is related to the paths to the images, but not sure.

I looked in options but I couldn't find anything.

I also completely republished the site with all files chosen.

Any pointers appreciated.

Thanks.

The software uses relative paths for all internal images, so that should not be an issue.
But maybe you are loading the images from a different location?

(leaving this as reference for anyone who has this problem)

Found to be what appears to be a server-related problem with hotlink protection. For whatever reason, hotlink protection thinks the image files are being loaded from a site different than the one I published, even though the images are there in a relative folder called "images" in the same tree.

Not enough time to completely debug. Just disabled hotlink protection for now and images appear. Will revisit...
