 * Hi,

 * The problem is, that internal links in WordPress have the http:// URL and not
   the https:// version after set them:
 * [Picture 2](https://imgur.com/a/0G5eo)
 * They all should also be set to https:// automatically.
 * Do you have any idea how to fix it?
 * Best regards
 * Chekki

 * Hi, check to make sure your SSL certificate is set up correctly in your server.
   Can you also share a link in your site that is still set to http instead of https?
 * Do you have a cache plugin? If you do have you cleared your cache?
 * There is also another area in WordPress that you need to set up correctly if 
   you choose to secure your whole domain. Go to **Settings -> General** in the 
   admin panel of your website and set up the following options to point to https//.
 * **WordPress Address (URL).
    Site Address (URL).
 * Regards

       2. on this site ([https://handangeln.de/news/angelschein-konstanz/](https://handangeln.de/news/angelschein-konstanz/))
      I set a link with http:// (after saving it switched automatically to https://–
      its the link after the first sentence (“dd”) 3. I have cleared the cache already(
      I am using WP Super Cache and JCH Optimize Pro) 4. WordPress Address (URL)

 * Hi, try the following. Can you disable all other plugins except this one. Can
   you then carry out a test. Let me know how you go.
 * In regards to the URL for the image above can you change the http to https.
 * In regards to the following comment. Something fishy is happening to your certificate.
   Have you contacted your host about this issue?

 * Hi, I have disabled all plugins and the problem with post images and internal
   links ([http://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-link-stay-http/?output_format=md))
   does not go.
 * I have the same problem on other websites were I installed you plugin.
    (I only
   set up your plugin, I didn´t changed anything in the sql database or in the htaccess
   file)
 * Hoster says, that everything is ok with the certificate.
 * I have made a small vidoe to show you the “problem”:

 * Hi, I think I know what might be the problem in your site. Did you read the following
   on the front page of this plugin.
 * >  However, if you have an existing website where you have a lot of static files
   > that are embedded in your posts and pages using NON-HTTPS URL then you will
   > need to change those. Otherwise, the browser will show an SSL warning to your
   > visitors.
 * Let me know if you understand the above.
