    The new feature in v 4.x to use the Wordpress theme header and footer on the signup, login, member pages is great as it provides nice consistency for the user without having to code a custom template.

    However, when I choose this option, my fully encrypted signup page becomes only partially encrypted and I lose the lock icon in browsers. I am worried this will drive away potential members.

    Support has said to: "change your wordpress theme so it uses all included files (css,js,images) only by https."

    Does anyone know how to do this with a Wordpress theme? I am using the Atahualpa theme, but am hoping there may be some easy universal solution for making the header/footer files of a Wordpress theme pull only by https???

    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Try to change wordpress root url to HTTPS.
    Also you can use code in htaccess in order to redirect all requests to https, so your whole site will be loaded through https.
    Code:
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
    RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

    Thanks Alex. I changed my Wordpress Address (URL) to HTTPS. I also figured out that one of my plugins, statcounter, added code to the footer that was pulling URLs via HTTP. I edited the file by changing all addresses within it to https and now my signup page is fully encrypted with the lock icon displaying.

    I appreciate your help!
