Using search with HTTPS
Hi guys,
I'm making use of SearchWP for some in-page search bars to allow users to filter through posts as they like.
Everything was fine, until we implemented an SSL cert. Now there is a warning associated with any search submission "The information you have entered on this page will be sent over an insecure connection and could be read by a third party." etc..
SearchWP doesn't output any forms or manipulate requests in any way, so I can only assume there is an action attribute somewhere in the theme pointing to HTTP that needs to be HTTPS. I'm hesitant to dig around for it myself.
Could you point me in the right direction? If you know what needs doing, that would be super helpful.
Thanks!
Tom

If you made the website and then installed the SSL you need to change the links.
Use this plugin:

Yes we did build the site and then change to SSL later. I have already used a plugin (SSL Insecure Content Fixer) to tidy up links etc. and changed some theme option links myself (logos, header images).
I'll run this one too in case we have missed some stuff.
