IE8 Security Certificate Errors

[boundlessdata]

The page appears fine in Chrome https://www.businesslocallistings.com/i ... s2-ssl=yes but in IE 8 there is an error saying "Internet Explorer has blocked this website from displaying content with security certificate errors." When I click on display blocked content, I can't see anything different on the page. So I'm not sure what exactly it is referring to. I disabled all the non-essential plugins such as the Hello bar, easy buttons, Facebook, ZoPIM Chat, etc. So if the problem is in the theme, exactly what do I tell the theme developer to fix? Your assistance is appreciated.

Best Regards,

Tina

Tina, you could review the source code to find any resource with a non-secure URL. Maybe another plugin is loading something with http instead of https.

Even when all plugins except s2Member are disabled, IE8 displays this message. "Internet Explorer has blocked this website from displaying content with security certificate errors." Everything looks fine in Chrome. I haven't seen it for myself but I hear Safari is complaining about security on the Facebook widget.

Is it possible I have incorrectly applied the custom field? Is there something specifically I can tell the theme developer to fix?

Thanks,

Tina

I downloaded the latest version of Safari and it works fine. It also works fine in Chrome, FireFox, and Opera. The only browser complaining is IE and it continues to complain even after I deactivate all other plugins. There has to be something that can be done to fix this!

Maybe you have the same thing happening, that one of the embedded files doesn't have a valid SSL certificate.

I finally found a difference. When the IE error appears, there is also an error at the bottom of the page.

When I tell IE to display content with security certificate errors, it goes away. I"m not quite sure what it is trying to tell me but I think I'm on to something here.

Maybe you are.

In that file, search for google.com and you'll find a couple of images near the end which aren't using SSL. Maybe that's what's causing the warning.

Changing gmap.js image links to https did not solve the problem. This file is used for displaying Google Maps but I don't have any defined so I don't understand why it is showing up. I also tried removing the file altogether. That didn't work either. Any other ideas?

The theme developer helped me get rid of any reference to the script gmap.js and that solved the problem.

Awesome! Thanks for reporting back what the solution was.
