I am trying to bring RJM Audio up to the times by activating the https protocol (SSL). My hosting service has done it for me, but although the web pages serve ok none of the images, either inline or linked, load.
I have tried re-uploading the images.
I have checked and all the SRC links are relative i.e. SRC="images/image.png"
I have tried disabling hotlink protection.
Anyone have any ideas?

If your images have stopped working since the https update, I'd be asking the web hosting to look into it.
I was told to change the links to https, but regardless the images don't work with relative paths.
I think I should change to absolute path to an https link, but I'm not sure what the directory structure should look like and the obvious one "https://phonoclone.com/images/image.jpg" doesn't work.

Your absolute images won't work, eg on your home page:
"https://phonoclone.com/images/logo-main.jpg" gets
403 Forbidden
You'd need to alter the permissions for the images folder to get that to work.
But generally - you should speak to tech support at your hosting provider, as has been said.

Richard has been here for many years. His website is about audio. He knows there's a lot more smart people here than on most hosting companies' support staff.
Yes. This is very strange. When I put SSL on my mini-site last year it was transparent from the first. The http worked and the https worked. When browsers stopped taking http the server quietly sent the file as https. So I wonder what is different at your host.
I changed my website to https a years ago.
You have to get a certificate and upload it with your website.
Then simply use https instead of http.
It is a while so maybe I missed a step somewhere.
Contact your web host if you cant get it working.

Dude, this is The Lounge.
Here people discuss retirement, UFOs, Movies, Recipes and what nots.
We might even discuss people who think they OWN the Forum, how´s that?
Hey, we even discuss Health!!!
Such as: Caffeine: MedlinePlus
Thanks for all the replies. Support from my hosting provider has been reasonable, the problem is I have difficulty interpreting their answers.
I was told "I have cheked the issue and I could see that internal URLs under the index files are http. Kindly please contact a web developer and replace all the http URLs with https to fix the issue."
As PRR and others note, I think relative links src=images/image.png are supposed to work transparently. Mine don't even though the relative links to html and even pdf and zip files work fine. So it's some specific restriction placed on images.
Doh. This is so frustrating.
I dont understand why it seems such an issue for them.
I have a small website with a lot of images and links to external pages.
When I asked the host to switch it to a secure site, he organised and applied the certificate, and it all just worked except now in secure mode.
Sorry I know that doesn't help you.
Best of luck to you and hope it gets sorted soon.

RJM, you can popup browser developer tools hitting F12 on the keyboard. Checkout "console" tab to see the errors on the images. In the random case I checked the images really don't seem to exist. Have you checked they really are on the images folder?
Some images seem to be working fine as seen in the second attachment. The console shows a javascript error as well but this shouldn't affect the images.
Some hosting companies have separate directory structure for the secure and non secure connections, like "public_html" and "private_html" or something like that. Maybe some of the files haven't transfered if you had to copy them to different location on the disk?

Thanks again for all the support. My website is working now.
The problem was hotlink protection needed to be disabled. The host service was kind enough to fix the settings for me.
