Description

Hello, Wordpress!

I hope I am doing this right--I am not a technical person, but someone who is a technical person at the support forum suggested that I "open a new ticket."

I am having an issue with WP 3.5 that I did not have with WP 3.4.2. I do all my site administration over SSL (my wp-config file has the following line: define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);). When I go to the dashboard I see the green padlock in the address bar, so I know my SSL certificate is working properly. With WP 3.5., when I go to my media library, instead of the green padlock I get a message saying that while my connection is encrypted, the page "includes other resources that are not secure" and that can be viewed by others while in transit or modified by an attacker. From looking at the html, it seems that the media file themselves are the culprit: the links to them are "http:" instead of "https:" If I click once on the button to take me back to the dashboard, I can navigate back to the dashboard, but the warning remains. But if I click on the dashboard button again, the green padlock returns.

In case it is useful, I use the following theme: WooThemes Canvas v. 5.0.13, and the following plugins:

Acronyms 2
Antispam Bee
BackWPup
Broken Link Checker
BulletProof Security
Liveblog
Login Lockdown
NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster
Prevent Password Resetn
Quick Page/Post Redirect Plugin
Simple Footnotes
WordPress SEO
Wysija Newsletters

But I have found the same issue with all plugins deactivated.

Thank you!
