John Lemt	I have a relative uri on my website, pointing to language switcher: //wordpress-158747-1742649.cloudwaysapps.com/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/templates/language-switchers/menu-item/style.css?ver=1 To increase the safety of my site I have been advised to change this into http:// link. I have tried to follow instructions on below pages, but no success. I have installed SSL plugin and have also changed database by hand wp_option. Plugin does not change this setting (no change after installation) and database change is returned to old relative uri as soon I new user downloads the site. Any change in database looks like is overwritten.

John Lemt	I have now disabled Varnish on Cloudways for hidden link Yesterday I purged Varnish several times (around 10 times, 5 of which was during our chat-for every change) I find it especially strange, if I go into database table wp_options there is option_id:17917 and option_name:wpml_language_switcher_template_objects which has option_value which includes this problematic link without https: If I edit this manually, go out of database, go back, the change stays the same (everything OK). But when I download main page hidden link this line in wp_options changes back to its original value without https There is a code which generates this line every time webpage is called. You need to change only this code.

Raja Mohammed Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Kolkata (GMT+05:30)	I checked this further and it is expected that the template style loads wihtout any protocol that is prevent mixed content issue. This is a practice in use even in WordPress default theme refer to the screenshot. I am not sure why it is marked as security issue if you have any details realated to it kindly share with us. As far as i see this should not cause any issues to the site.
