## Description

Insecure Content Warning helps content creators with secure (HTTPS) websites avoid
insecure-content warnings in the browser by flagging any elements in the content
editor (such as images, videos, and embeds) that are being delivered or sourced 
from an insecure (HTTP) web address. All insecure elements are flagged before the
content is published, and can be fixed manually or simply by clicking “fix it.”

Compatible with the “classic” editor as well as the block editor (aka Gutenberg).

### Technical Notes

 * Requires PHP 7.4+.
 * Requires a secure / SSL (HTTPS) website, front and back end.

### Usage

This plugin requires no configuration. Simply activate and the plugin will prevent
posts with insecure elements from being published, as well as provide a banner with
information on the offending assets.

### Optional WP-CLI Commands

These are not required for normal usage of the plugin, but are available as a utility
for more advanced usage.

#### wp icw fix

Used to fix insecure elements in existing content. Can target specific posts or 
bulk batches.

    ```
    wp icw fix [<id>] [--include] [--all] [--post_type] [--limit] [--offset] [--dry-run]
    ```

Example:
 `$ wp icw fix --all --post_type=page Checking post content... Total posts
checked for insecure URL(s): 10 +-------------------------------------+ | URL(s)
fixed summary | +-------------------------------------+ | 0/0 URL(s) fixed in post
98 | | 0/0 URL(s) fixed in post 96 | | 0/0 URL(s) fixed in post 76 | | ...........................
| | 0/0 URL(s) fixed in post 6 | | 0/0 URL(s) fixed in post 1 | +-------------------------------------
+

Run `wp help icw fix` for more information on the command args.
