Problem with SSL and Elementor

I have the same problem.

Additionally, if any of you host with SiteGround you may be using a utility they provide that attempts to rewrite any http urls to https in your website’s code and I’m not sure if they’ve fixed this yet but it also used to attempt to correct XMLNS attributes incorrectly and resulted in broken sites.

A representative of SiteGround was suggesting to disable this feature in the hosting control panel.

I never did see any acknowledgement this needed to be fixed however.

See pandjarov’s comment here – https://github.com/elementor/elementor/issues/7788

I know this is an old thread, but thought I’d post my solution in case it helps anyone.

I had a similar issue. Scoured the code, the database, and could find no real offenders. Insecure urls in namespaces like in the XML or SVG headers should not matter. I even ran the replace URL tool and rebuilt the CSS caches. Still had SSL errors.

My solution, was to replace the background images in all sections with a background image attached. Not sure how Elementor stores these urls, maybe encoded or in a serialized string, but they are not readily found in the database or by using Elementor’s own find/replace tools.

My exact procedure was to go to each background image in EDIT SECTION > STYLE > BACKGROUND, and choose a new image (for simplicity I just chose a temporary neighboring image). After the image was replaced I went back and replaced it with the orginal image. After doing that for EVERY section with a background image, my SSL is locked and I have no more mixed use errors.

My lesson learned here, install the SSL cert FIRST! 🙂
