SSL issue with Wordpress.com-hosted blog

Hi @mikestanley00,

The issue you see there is ‘mixed content’ and needs to be fixed on your site. Cloudflare can help to fix some

Mixed content errors mean that your website is being loaded over HTTPS but some of the resources are being loaded over HTTP. To fix this you will need to edit your source code and change all resources to load over a relative path, or directly over HTTPS.

For example, if you load your images with a full URL:

<img src="http://example.com/image.jpg" />

You would want to change this to:

<img src="//example.com/image.jpg" />

By removing the http:, the browser will use whichever protocol the visitor is already using. An alternative option would be to enable the Automatic HTTPS Rewrites feature that can potentially fix these errors for you automatically. Do be aware that resources loaded by JavaScript or CSS will not be automatically rewritten and mixed content warnings will still appear.

See this Community Tip for further details

This is far better than Flexible, but Full (strict) would be even better if you have or can get a valid cert on your server.
