# https in sitemaps instead of http

 * Hi,
 * We use the Yoast SEO tool for sitemaps and SEO optimalisation most of our websites.
   But i am now running into a problem with generating a sitemap.
 * After the sitemap is generated, all links get HTTPS instead of the regular http.
   Since the website isnt using SSL, i want all links to be normal http ones.
 * As far as i know there is no option to include https in the SEO plugin.
    Also
   tried wordpress general settings, but there the site url is set without https.
 * Anyone any idea how to replace the https with http?
 * Kind regards,
    Rob van der Pol

 * Is your website HTTPS? If not, are you using regular HTTP in the website’s URL,
   in the general settings of your website?

 * Hi Nile,
 * Thank you for your support.
    The website has no SSL certificate and so is not
   HTTPS. All website URL’s are HTTP as you can see on the site itself: [http://www.desmaakvancroy.nl/](http://www.desmaakvancroy.nl/)
 * Hope you have any idea’s?

 * Hi Mediaversa,
 * Please log into your website, and in “Settings” under “General settings” (for
   WordPress, not for our plugin), look at both the “WordPerss Address URL” and “
   Site Address URL” and ensure that neither has accidentally picked up a stray 
   https entry.

 * One more thing, some people are also reporting this on sites using Cloudflare’s
   flexible SSL. If that applies to you, then this entry might help: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cloudflare-flexible-ssl-making-sitemap-https?replies=3#post-7664695](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cloudflare-flexible-ssl-making-sitemap-https?replies=3#post-7664695)

 * Hi Kim,
 * Thnx for the response.
    Both URL’s are set without https, that was the first 
   thing i checked. 🙂 We had a few sites with the same problem, but i just checked
   both sitemaps and all https links are gone.
 * There are still a few https paged indexed in google, but those should be gone
   soon.
 * Thnx!
