Strange redirection issues on wordpress from ssl with padlock to ssl without padlock

by

Given that this is a dated question and I see that the SSL (https://) is now running on the website mentioned by the OP, I feel this question still needs some closure to anyone else that has a similar issue:

  1. Go and download Interconnect IT’s Database Search & Replace Script here
  2. Unzip the file and drop the folder where your WordPress is installed (the root) and rename the folder to replace (screenshot)
  3. Navigate to the new folder you created in your browser (ex: http://essentialmac.co.uk/replace) and you will see the search/replace tool
  4. It should be pretty self-explanatory up to this point: enter your non-SSL links in the search for… field and the new URL in the replace with… field

You can click the dry run button under actions to see what it will be replacing before you execute the script. Once you’re done be sure to remove the /replace/ folder.
