 * Hello,
 * What an amazing plugin you have! Its so useful! I have 2 questions for you.
 * 1. My website is secure, meaning I use an SSL Certificate, how can we change 
   the file links from starting with http:// to [https://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-http-to-https-1/?output_format=md)?
   The link does not open when it starts with http:// but when I copy it and paste
   it in a new browser and change http:// to https:// then the link works.
 * 2. Is there a virus scanner plugin that works with BuddyDrive?
 * Again thank you for working hard on this amazing plugin. Keep up the good work!
 * Grace

 * Hello,
 * 1/ The ‘https’ thing is surprising me. BuddyDrive is using `bp_get_root_domain()`
   which is using `get_home_url()` to build the urls. So the https url scheme should
   be used.
 * If you add this code somewhere you know you will only be the one to access to
   `
   <?php var_dump( bp_get_root_domain() ) ;?>`
 * What is the url output ?
 * 2/ I’m afraid i have no idea 🙁

 * Ok i’ve been testing in `https` i can’t reproduce your trouble, everything works
   fine. You must have a trouble in your config.
