Hi,
if you go here in Firefox and check the console https://babasouk.ca/my-account/
You will see one blocked item in red top of list. It is…
Blocked loading mixed active content “http://babasouk.ca/?mcsf_action=main_css&ver=4.5.2”
When I double click “my-account” on the right in the console it opens the page source. I search for ‘mcsf’ I find this line of code from Mailchimp in my source…
link rel=‘stylesheet’ id=‘mailchimpSF_main_css-css’ href=‘https://babasouk.ca/?mcsf_action=main_css&ver=4.5.2’ type=‘text/css’ media=‘all’ /
It seems to me to be ok? It uses https. I guess it is not ok though.
Any ideas how I fix this?

That reference is using http not https so the https one you found is not the one it is refering to.

Ok. I guess I am a bit stumped then. The page source code contains no other reference to mcsf which is in that URL. Can anyone else see one?
Also I thought that http within my own site should be Ok? Is that not true. Is that URL not calling a script at my own URL?

I took a closer look and there isn’t one however despite the https: on the front of that call if you view the source and then click on that link it does take you to a http: version of the stylesheer.

Presumably the problem is in some of the server side code that is executed to to actually access the css file and while that server side code is using https, one of the files it is referencing on the server is not.

The same error appears in the console for other browsers and not just Firefox.

Thanks. I will take that information and contact Mailchimp, the plugin and code come from them.
