### What issue or error are you experiencing? The parts of my website like images and texts are transparent when I view the website through live link. When I view the website while editting or from wordpress, it shows how it should be. How can I fix this? Another problem is that when I open the live link, I don’t go to the homepage, but a page that I can’t find. The page is probably from the template I used, but I deleted all pages I didn’t make and it still goes to that random page. Can I select the page I want the live link to start from? ![Local live link page](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/lwpforums/original/3X/8/c/8c24c485a0b671a9c6c0259a4d40ef8b570191fb.jpeg) * * * ### System Details - **Local Version: latest version** ---

Hi @Guven Live Links don’t match your Local Site URL (ie: mysite.local), so Local attempts to rewrite these on the fly. Live Links is broadly compatible with many themes, plugins, and custom code snippets. However, some images, front-end assets, or other HTML elements may be missing from your site when viewing it over Live Links. As a first step you can try running a search and replace command to help clean up any mixed content type errors. To do this you can simply click on `Open Site Shell` in your Local app under your site name. The command would look something like this: `wp search-replace 'SITEURL' 'LOCALURL' --skip-columns=guid` As a tip you would: - Replace SITEURL with your production URL like [https://localwp.com](https://localwp.com) - Replace LOCALURL is your Local Site URL like [https://mysite.local](https://mysite.local) You’ll also want to make sure you `Trust` Local’s SSL certificate, to help avoid insecure content as well. > **[SSL in Local](https://localwp.com/help-docs/getting-started/ssl-in-local/#local-and-ssl)** > > This doc will go over SSL basics, using SSL in Local, and some common issues. If you are experiencing issues and are also using macOS check out this doc. Table of Contents: Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)… If you’re still noticing issues, check to see if you have plugins or themes that retain caching or have a “Regenerate CSS” option. These may need to be refreshed in order for changes to be displayed. > **[Clear your theme/plugin cache](https://getflywheel.com/wordpress-support/the-flywheel-guide-to-clearing-theme-cache/)** > > Flywheel offers expert WordPress support at no charge. We also have a lot of answers to common questions. Dive into our help section for easy answers. There may be other plugins getting in the way as well if they are trying to force SSL/HTTPS. If you’re still having issues you might open up the console of the page and see what errors are present. Is it still showing some mixed content or some other type of issue? > **[How To Open A Browser's Console » Elementor](https://elementor.com/help/how-to-open-a-browsers-console/)** > > Learn how to open a browser's console to inspect any page errors You might try viewing it in an incognito window, a different browser, or over LTE Data instead of WiFi to see if caching is getting in the way as well. As another workaround, if you’re still having trouble, you could try pushing the site up to a Demo to see how it looks there.
