# HTTPS links on HTTP sub-site

 * Hi!
 * Love the plugin, thanks for the good work.
 * I have a multi-site where the main site is https and the sub-sites are non secure
   http. When I use the shortcode [site-directory] to input the map, the all links
   provided are secure, even though all WordPress settings for my sub-sites are 
   correctly pointing to the non secure link.
 * I guessed this may have something to do with the get_site_permalink or get_site_url
   in includes/functions.php so changed it to get_home_url, but no change.
 * Are you able to help me?
 * Thanks for reading
    James

 * This sounds like a bug in WordPress core because this plugin doesn’t store or
   retrieve site URLs itself, but let me look into it to make sure. What version
   of WordPress core are you using?

 * Hi Meitar, thanks for getting back to me.
 * Recently upgraded to 4.8, however I noticed this in 4.7, just didn’t get round
   to questioning it.

 * Okay, I’ll test on both versions then. I can’t say exactly when I will get to
   this but please pester me if I go radio silent for more than a few days.

 * Your time is appreciated. I’ll set a reminder to give you a poke next week, if
   I don’t hear back from you.

 * [@jrwstevenson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jrwstevenson/) It’s not a
   bug, apparently, it’s [just how WordPress works](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_site_url/#description).
   I’ll be adding support for the `scheme` parameter in this plugin’s `get_site_permalink()`
   wrapper function, but you will still be responsible for altering your template
   such that you correctly select HTTP for your sub-sites and HTTPS for your main
   site, depending on which site’s permalink you are linking.

 * Excellent! Thank you. I like to learn something new every day, and you have provided
   today’s newly acquired knowledge.
 * I look forward to the next update.
