Insecure Content Warning

Description

Insecure Content Warning helps content creators with secure (HTTPS) websites avoid insecure-content warnings in the browser by flagging any elements in the content editor (such as images, videos, and embeds) that are being delivered or sourced from an insecure (HTTP) web address. All insecure elements are flagged before the content is published, and can be fixed manually or simply by clicking “fix it.”

Compatible with the “classic” editor as well as the block editor (aka Gutenberg).

Technical Notes

  • Requires PHP 7.4+.
  • Requires WordPress 5.8+.
  • Requires a secure / SSL (HTTPS) website, front and back end.

Usage

This plugin requires no configuration. Simply activate and the plugin will prevent posts with insecure elements from being published, as well as provide a banner with information on the offending assets.

Optional WP-CLI Commands
