I've tried setting a background image on our Propulsion site, but as soon a I go secure it's the one bit of content that it doesn't pull securely. How do I force the theme to grab the background image via HTTPS?

Thanks for the reply! Maybe I'm unclear about the options panel you are referring to... From the Theme Styling page, I just pull down the list and choose a background. It doesn't give me any options for that image. Here's a quick screen shot...

Do I have to upload the same image again to get access to the panel you refer to?

Tried uploading a renamed version of the same file. It would allow me to select it as the background, but would not let me modify the URL to indicate https.
What next? Thanks.

Hi!
Try following - go to Settings > General and replace the "WordPress Address (URL)"/"Site URL" with your https:// address - eg replace http://www.botpix.com/ with: https://www.botpix.com

Hi Drew,
Yes, by changing the Site URL you'll be redirecting them to the https:// from the beginning. As far as whether that's what you want to do really that's up to you.
The only other work around I know of is to bypass the background setting under theme options and change the CSS file directly to pull the background image from the https://.

ModeratorHi BOTPIX,
As for the speed, that's entirely up to your server. You can add the background in by putting the following in your custom.css file or Quick CSS at the bottom of the Styling tab:
html.html_boxed, body { background-image: url(https://www.botpix.com/img/BG_selection.jpg); }Change the image path if its different than what you had as a sample above.
Regards,
Devin
