Here is how I fix this. (I simply edit my Ghost site files in [the browser-based File Manager of my cPanel-hosted Ghost sites](https://ghost-o-matic.com/my-ghost-dev-tools/).)

(Also note that after making the below change, you may need to Restart your Ghost and/or possibly also re-upload the offending images in your posts to reset the URLs in the database.)

Anyhoo, this first block of code below shows the entire contents of the **config.development.json** file in the root directory of my Ghost site.

Here you can see that that the **“url”:** was (by default, at the time of installation) set to **http** instead of **https** (as it should be, to prevent a bunch of glitchy error notices i.e. images and other content links either not working, or redirecting to https paths):

```
{
  "url": "http://keeper.gwarp.com/",
  "server": {
    "port": 2379,
    "host": "127.0.0.1"
  },
  "database": {
    "client": "sqlite3",
    "connection": {
      "filename": "/home/gwarp/KEEPER/content/data/ghost-local.db"
    }
  },
  "mail": {
    "transport": "Direct"
  },
  "logging": {
    "transports": [
      "file",
      "stdout"
    ]
  },
  "process": "local",
  "paths": {
    "contentPath": "/home/gwarp/KEEPER/content"
  }
}

```

In this second block of code you can see that I’ve just changed **http** to **https** (while leaving everything else as-is):

```
{
  "url": "https://keeper.gwarp.com/",
  "server": {
    "port": 2379,
    "host": "127.0.0.1"
  },
  "database": {
    "client": "sqlite3",
    "connection": {
      "filename": "/home/gwarp/KEEPER/content/data/ghost-local.db"
    }
  },
  "mail": {
    "transport": "Direct"
  },
  "logging": {
    "transports": [
      "file",
      "stdout"
    ]
  },
  "process": "local",
  "paths": {
    "contentPath": "/home/gwarp/KEEPER/content"
  }
}

```
