# http:// missing in URL

 * Hello there !
 * In the process of changing my website’s domain, I made the mistake to change 
   the WordPress Address and site Address in my general settings.
    As I could not
   access my backend nor my website anymore, I follow instructions found on this
   forum, modified my functions.php file and got access to the website and backend
   again.
 * But since then, the http:// of my URL’s have disappeared.
    If anyone has already
   had this kind of problem, I would greatly appreciate help.
 * Thanks in advance

 * When you modified you functions.php, did you add http:// there?
 * eg:
    define(‘WP_HOME’,’[http://somesite.com&#8217](http://somesite.com&#8217););
   define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’[http://somesite.com&#8217](http://somesite.com&#8217););

 * Thanks for your answer
 * Yes I did.
 * I used the update_option tag.
 * I just tried the define tag you wrote and with it the site doesn’t work.
 * Needless to say that on my WP general settings the address and site URL have 
   the HTTP but it doesn’t appear.

 * Can you post the url to your website so I can look at it?

 * If your website is [http://livinlille.fr/](http://livinlille.fr/) then it displays
   with http:// part.

 * It is indeed livinlille.fr.
 * I tried on several computers and on my mobile and it doesn’t display it.

 * Look, the simple fact is that http:// is a protocol, so it has to be there if
   your website works. 🙂 The fact that some browsers due to reasons I can’t comprehend
   don’t actually show http:// part in url window doesn’t mean http:// is not there.
