Ok, so if it is all of those images, how do you know fixing the background image worked? To call images in the stylesheet, you need to put them in the skin1/images directory and call them like this:

background: url(images/imagename.jpg);

To call images in the templates, you use:

<img src="{$ImagesDir}/imagename.jpg">

If you do that, they won't give you that warning. If they do, something is either incorrect with your http/https setup, or you have an absolute path called somewhere.

Again... This still makes the background image unsecure.

css file = skin1 directory
background = skin1 directory

I also tried it in the skin1/images directory

Still listing as unsecure.

<img src="{$ImagesDir}/imagename.jpg">

I can not put the topsite images into my images/ directory.. so what do I do with those? I need to test out the information w/ the txt_welcome that somekindahate forgot to add originally, and will do that later.

the backgroud image is fine... I only see the ones at the bottom as unsecure.

Is there a way to call images from another website without getting a security worning? I know it is not recommended. I get the worning even when my website is in "http" mode!
Can anyone help please
Thanks

You need to call them via https, but that will slow down your site, and you risk having empty images when/if the third party moves/removes/edits their images. Plus, most sites don't allow you to link to their images.

Balinor,
I am calling the pictures from my dropshiper dedicated website. They wouldnt move the pictures. (about 20000 pictures, I can not download them one by one)
How would i call them via https? just by replacing http with https? but the problem is when i put an "s" in the url it wouldnt open the page
http://website.com/images/abc.jpg
I can see the picture when I put the url in browser link bar but with https I cant open the page:
https://website.com/images/abc.jpg
their website is not set up for https.
IS there a way to call http urls via https?
Thanks, Balinor. Your contribution in this forum is really appriciated

[balinor]

If your dropshipper doesn't have https setup then no, you can't call them securely

[vahidnia]

If they had https set up. what it would require to call the images securely is to replace the http in the url with https is that correct?

[balinor]

Correct
