I had a similar problem: [Insecure content from markdown-it-bundle when using https](https://meta.discourse.org/t/insecure-content-from-markdown-it-bundle-when-using-https/66559)

You need to let discourse know you want the SSL version of the site by specifying https in your outer nginx config by adding:

```
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;

```

or

```
proxy_set_header Host https

```

Then just reload nginx and it should work correctly!  
Hope this helps!
