I am getting many queries by emails that “users already install SSL certificate properly but still in website SSL lock is not showing. In this case I would say read below customer query and I think anyone may be yours.
Few users queries received by me are:

You should read this solution very carefully. I have received this type queries mostly from who have installed external theme on website. Because if your secure website have any external link or url without https then you will not see SSL green lock So if you are using premium or paid theme for your website then you have to check theme and web pages one by one.
How to find unsecured content on a webpage?
Here is shortcut to reduce your work 50% to 100% to find unsecure urls from your webpage’s. Just search in Google “why no padlock” then you will see many websites to check unsecure links.
If you have find few or more unsecure urls by using online tools then you can modify them http to https or you can remove these links.
Now find unsecured urls / content on a webpage manually:
Now if you still not able to recover your green ssl lock then you have to check your theme by accessing these files in Opencart.
public_html/catalog/view/theme/XXXX/template/common
Mainly check “header.tpl” and “footer.tpl” file by ctrl+f and find “http”. If you find any url start with http then change that to https. If same url not available in https, I mean https://www.example.com not working then remove this url from theme file or WebPages.
You can also check any banner image or code in your webpage where external links available remove or change them. If your webpage have many comments with author urls then you have to delete all comments because always remember now your website can not accept single unsecure (http://) urls.
