Title: Site with combined https://url and https://www.url Last modified: May 20, 2021 --- # Site with combined https://url and https://www.url * Resolved [MiKeZZa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikezza/) * (@mikezza) * [4 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-with-combined-https-url-and-https-www-url/) * Hi, * I’m having issues with the provided URL. When you check the sourcecode it’s visible that there is sometimes [https://url.com](https://url.com) and sometimes [https://www.url.com](https://www.url.com). So sometimes the www. is missing. * I want to solve this, because of multiple reasons. * I’ve tried the following things: - Add url with [https://www](https://www) in admin - Use ‘Better Search Replace’ plugin to replace [https://url](https://url) by [https://www.url](https://www.url) - What can I do to achieve this? * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsite-with-combined-https-url-and-https-www-url%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-with-combined-https-url-and-https-www-url/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-with-combined-https-url-and-https-www-url/page/2/?output_format=md) * [oiler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eulerarthur/) * (@eulerarthur) * [4 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-with-combined-https-url-and-https-www-url/#post-14464215) * Hey there, There are four other standard methods to change your URL.

For example,` wp search-replace 'http://example.com' 'https://www.example.com' --precise -- all-tables --skip-plugins --skip-themes --dry-run` & `wp search-replace 'http:// www.example.com' 'https://www.example.com' --precise --all-tables --skip-plugins-- skip-themes --dry-run` * This will help get the protocol for both the non-www and www over to `https://`. - This reply was modified 4 years, 11 months ago by [Matthew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atxmatt/).

I don’t know that tool. * But I’ve made an export of the whole database, opened it in Notepad and can’t find [https://b](https://b) at all.

You may want to see if your theme has some sort of regenerate CSS option. * Have you already purged cache from everywhere? That is, site, plugins, hosting, CDN. * [Website Rob](https://wordpress.org/support/users/website-rob/) * (@website-rob) * [4 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-with-combined-https-url-and-https-www-url/#post-14464763) * I can see 20 site links without ‘www’ and 13 of them are found under the “Onze kernwaarden” in the block with the 6 images and 6 links plus one more. The others come from various place which you should be able to determine by looking at source code, as I did. * Thread Starter [MiKeZZa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikezza/) * (@mikezza) * [4 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-with-combined-https-url-and-https-www-url/#post-14467731) * Hi [@atxmatt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atxmatt/) No I’m not familiar with it. * I’ve purged cache in my plugin. Hosting is not caching and CDN is not used. And we are 4 days after changing some URL things. So I assume that the cache must be updates in the meantime? * [@website-rob](https://wordpress.org/support/users/website-rob/) I know where they are. But I really can’t understand why I can’t find it my database or files at all. Where is this coming from… * [Website Rob](https://wordpress.org/support/users/website-rob/) * (@website-rob) * [4 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-with-combined-https-url-and-https-www-url/#post-14468387) * If you know where the URLs are, then changing them should not be a problem. By that I mean the page is edited through Admin -> Pages. * Sometimes when looking for something, especially within code/text, we are not looking for the correct bit of kit. For example, I would search for ‘what-we- do’ in the database. * Although I’m not familiar with the Fusion Builder plugin, it is possible the data is stored somewhere other than your database. Not uncommon for a plugin to use their own services/server. You could also check where the Fusion Builder plugin is located (wp-content/plugins/plugin-name) as flat files are still used by some plugins. * Thread Starter [MiKeZZa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikezza/) * (@mikezza) * [4 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-with-combined-https-url-and-https-www-url/#post-14469690) * Hi [@website-rob](https://wordpress.org/support/users/website-rob/), yes it’s possible to find all the issues and adjust it manually but that’s a lot of work and I don’t know how to take care of not let this happen again. * About the location of storage; Fusion Builder is part of Avada. I think they use the database. * The strange thing is that this website was running at [https://companyname.otherwebsite.nl](https://companyname.otherwebsite.nl) untill this weekend and then I migrated it to [https://www.companyname.nl](https://www.companyname.nl). This by changing URL in the admin and a database search and replace by the Better Search Replace plugin. That did work for every part of the site. otherwebsite. nl is not visible anymore in database or pagesource at all. So also the parts that now are without www are changed in the last few days by these 2 actions. That’s what is so strange… * [Website Rob](https://wordpress.org/support/users/website-rob/) * (@website-rob) * [4 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-with-combined-https-url-and-https-www-url/#post-14469766) * Being able to make 13 corrections out of 20 on one page sounds to me like it’s worth the effort. 🙂 * You didn’t mention if searching your database for ‘what-we-do’ returned any results. That will help determine if WordPress is saving the Domain name in URL, which I believe it does not–it appends it based on Site URL used in Admin settings. * Thread Starter [MiKeZZa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikezza/) * (@mikezza) * [4 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-with-combined-https-url-and-https-www-url/#post-14469791) * But there are really more pages where this is [@website-rob](https://wordpress.org/support/users/website-rob/). so it will be many corrections. * Searching for ‘what-we-do’ results in some results in Yoast but also in these tables: wp_postmeta (10 results) wp_posts (59 results) * Also there [https://b](https://b) was not found. But this trick brought me on track! The value in the database was not [https://b](https://b) but it was [http://b](http://b) and then my SSL-settings turned it into [https://b…](https://b…); I think I’m (almost) there. Thanks a lot!
