Question

How can I disable/supress "Secure warning" dialog box

At the recommendation of my host provider, I recently updated my website from http:// to a secure website https://. At the time I did this I did not anticipate that it would break all the old http:// slideshow links I had imbedded in i-frames. After finding an replacing almost 300 instances of http: with https: the website is 99% back to normal. However, I still get a "Secure warning" dialog box on more than 60 pages of photography slide-shows. See below.

The dialog box times out in approximately 10 seconds and disappears.

After hours of trying to determine how to fix theses slide shows, I have determined that the common denominator is that the slide shows that give this warning were all created with older slide show tools. I plan to update my website to responsive design in the near future whereby I will recreate these slide shows. However, is there any way to suppress the display of the warning dialog until I update my website. It appears to have no affect on the slide shows displaying correctly.

Thank you in advance,

Jim

Have a look at this site:

https://www.whynopadlock.com/b881210f-9603-42ce-a3c1-2ec919960a80

It finds, for example, that javascript files are being referenced through http on your San Francisco page.

Not realy a solution though, is it Birnou?

The site owner does not get a warning, because they changed their browsers security setting. Visitors to the site still get the warning.

As I said in my first reply, 'how does one inform visitors to do so', and thats even saying they would consider changing browser security settings, which is highly unlikely.

do you get the warning, nor Ben, nor I ... and I was thinking nor you ... recieve any information ?

so before going further into investigation... I asked the OP to turn off the alert... and see what's up ?

The warning is generated by the browser, so unless you contact every user of your site and ask them to change the security settings, (only joking), but it will give you an idea of how impossible it is.

Your only solution would be to go through all links to external content and ensure they are https, check that everything is within the https folder, (scripts, assets, etc). iframe content should also be within your https folder.

Not the answer I was looking for . I have already done a find and replace on all http: to https: As far as Dreamweaver is concerned, there are no more instances of http: but I still get the warnings on 60% of my slideshows.

After I did the find and replace I did a global synchronization for my entire site. This fixed 40% of the slide shows. Besides http:, what else can cause a secure content warning. The link below is an example of a slide show that has no http: links but still gives the warning.

I have no idea of where to look. I am sure it can be fixed globally once I know what is causing it.

Use the browsers developers tools, to examine the network connections on a problem page. This will show you which scripts, assets, etc are not comming from a secure https connection.
