Hi Elise,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Based on what you are saying, you have hardcoded all your links in the view to use 'http:'. The best way I see of fixing this is through the database itself to do a find and replace on your database and replace all the http with https.

Failing this the next best thing is to edit your links individually in each view to update them with the https.

Thanks,
Shane
