I have installed an EV SSL cert on a site and i noticed that the blog and any page that has a blog module on it shows as insecure. as soon as i disable a blog module then the page is "secure" again. No other images from articles for instance are showing as "insecure".

I am adding a lot of SSL certs to sites at the moment and this is going to cause me issues. I have updated a few other modules and templates which now show as "secure" so it would be great if Easyblog also worked the same way please?
Hello Richard,
I have checked your site and based on the browser's console, it seems the images are using non-relative urls: http://take.ms/pHFw7
I checked the editor that you use for creating EasyBlog posts, JCE and found that this setting is disabled: http://take.ms/kJwPi
This means that when you uploaded those images last time when your site was still under http, the 'http' protocol is included so when you switched the site to use https, those images are still in http.
Relative url do not include the 'http' protocol so when you switch the SSL in your site, the images would not affect the content security.
I would suggest you to modify the http protocol of those images in the post if you want to address those warning messages.

You are quite right of course, i changed it to relative URL's because people were clicking on the images in the emails and getting 404's but we stopped making them popup and it isnt a problem anymore.
all fixed many thanks
