SharePoint Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for SharePoint enthusiasts. It's 100% free, no registration required.

Using a corportte server (don't know where it is or who the administrators are) we used the "create a site" on the portal. The server was http at the time of the site creation. Sometime later it was converted to https. Now, some of the preloaded themes cause a popup box to appear everytime you click on a new page. The box says: "This page contains both secure and nonsecure items. Do you want to display the nonsecure items?" With some of the themes this does not happen. I used out of the box tools, don't have access to the server, have administrative rights, nor know who does. Does anyone know how to tell what within these themes is causing this mixed content warning and how to fix it? Thanks. My browser security is checked to allow mixed content but I still get the box and so does everyone else.

it seems to me like you need to probably contact your company's support team to get them to look at this. It probably is an issue when they moved the server from HTTP to HTTPS. At any rate, this problem is probably only relevant to your company. Anyone else feel free to jump in and leave a comment. – Kit Menke May 26 '11 at 14:40

You can use tools like the Internet Explorer Developer Tools (hit F12 with IE open) or Firebug in Firefox to track these down or just do a view source of the page and look for http://. The likely culprit is a link to a stylesheet or external script like a CDN copy of jQuery or something that is not being delivered over https, and thus throwing the mixed content message.
