SSL upgrade to site not reflecting HTTPS in sitemap | WordPress.org

I am running wordpress 4.0 with Google XML Sitemaps 4.0.7.1. I recently purchased an SSL and am logging in just fine to my site at https://thesmt.com/wp-admin

It doesn’t seem to matter how I build the sitemap (which is a struggle in itself since the “manually build sitemap” option has disappeared), the resulting sitemap exists at http://thesmt.com/sitemap.xml with only the http tree… there is nothing at https://thesmt.com/sitemap.xml this is problematic because I need to submit the updated, SSL version of the site and it’s sitemap to Google Webamster Tools

Yes, it turns out that when you update to https, you need to go into your WordPress dashboard and update under settings>general the WordPress Address URL and the Site Address URL… This worked for me, I just updated the xml-sitemap after making these changes and I was good to go on each of these three sites where I use the plugin:

I’m having the same problem. However I installed the plugin when I was already using https:// everywhere.

Any clues on how to solve this – I mean I cannot change it from https:// to https://

(the sitemap is correctly put at https://domain.com/sitemap.xml but all links inside the sitemap are http:// – even though inside the plugin settings it tells me sitemap location is https:// )

Oh actually – the sitemap was still from v3 of the plugin. v4 only generates an empty sitemap for me (meaning no links – the rest of the text/layout is there).
