 * Hi there
 * I have a site that uses the primary domain as it’s network admin, as well as 
   the main website install.
 * Now whenever I go into the admin and go to sites then any of the subdomains still
   have the https on their dashboard/viewlinks, even if the corresponding subdomain
   hasn’t got an ssl.
 * Any ideas?

 * The link “view site” is http, while the admin link is https. This suggests it
   is core WP behaviour. I’d have to see if it’s possible to override the way this
   link is generated. I’ll add it to the wish list.
 * As a workaround you can visit the admin directly.

 * The issue is caused by get_admin_url(), which doesn’t look at the subsite, but
   at the current protocol apparently. I’ve added a function that filters the get_admin_url()
   function when on multisite and when used per page, and when the site is not SSL,
   replaces the url back to [http://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-network-admin-always-uses-ssl/?output_format=md).
   This is included in the next update, which is scheduled to be released within
   the next two weeks.
