The main reason for Mixed content issue is because of Plugins conflicting with each other. Especially the “WP User Avatar” plugin with "Jetpack" Plugins.

If the issue is still present, Deactivate and uninstall “Jetpack Plugin” and re-install and activate it. (You may need to manually connect to Jetpack services and then configure again at Jetpack plugin settings).

3rd Method: Install “SSL Insecure Content Fixer” WordPress plugin:

If none of the above method is working, install Free “SSL Insecure Content Fixer” WordPress plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/ssl-insecure-content-fixer/ and follow the below steps.

(Before activating, do not forget to check FAQs (https://wordpress.org/plugins/ssl-insecure-content-fixer/#faq) for this plugin)

Once activating go to Tools >> SSL Tests to check HTTPS detection for your site. If you can see the Green Tick mark means, everything fine from your server side.

Then go to Settings >> SSL Insecure Content Section, and select all from 1st level of fixing to “Capture”. But not the “Capture All” method. “Capture All” can break things inside your WordPress. But If none of the above levels are not working, you can use this level and try.

Now select “HTTPS detection” method from 1st one to last. Mostly “standard WordPress function” will work. If not select other detection methods and check again.
