 * Hi there
 * We’re having a problem with the Hummingbird plugin. When the plugin is activated
   it doesn’t forward http:// to https://
 * ie. if you visit [http://www.hellofego.com](http://www.hellofego.com) it does
   not forward to [https://www.hellofego.com](https://www.hellofego.com)
 * I’ve identified this plugin to be causing the issue. If I disable it, the forwarding
   works fine.
 * ps. We have both site urls in general settings set to https://
 * Thanks
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fhttps-forwarding-issue%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hello there [@padcreative](https://wordpress.org/support/users/padcreative/)
 * This doesn’t seem like a Hummingbird issue as it doesn’t change any redirections
   that happen.
 * Did you manage to identify which module exactly is causing that?
 * Also, can you please perform a complete conflict test, so we’re sure that Hummingbird
   is the cause of that?
    First, create a new backup in case you lose any settings
   during the test and have to restore to a previous working state. Then deactivate
   all plugins and MU-plugins apart from Hummingbird, activate a default theme like
   TwentyNineteen, clear all caches and check again if the issue is still there.
   If not, it means that something is conflicting, so start activating the remaining
   plugins and theme, one by one this time, checking every time for the reported
   issue, until you reproduce the issue, thus finding the conflicted combination.
   The following flowchart image can assist you during this test: [https://premium.wpmudev.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Support-Process-Support-Process.gif](https://premium.wpmudev.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Support-Process-Support-Process.gif)
   If this is a live website with traffic, I’d rather advise to create a staging
   environment, meaning a complete and exact copy of this installation into another
   location/folder in the same server, using a separate database, and perform the
   test in there instead without worrying about the live site.
 * Warm regards,
