 * Hi,
 * I have run the setup and cleared the W3TC cache, but i can’t find the sitemap
   in the site root directory in CPanel.
    I have checked Public_html, WP-Content,
   Themes, My Theme and the plugin folder itself. I need to edit the sitemap to 
   reflect the fact that my site is completely under SSL (https) my theme was set
   up with http and i haven’t figured out how to change that yet. (It is a custom
   theme)
 * The link within the plugin works fine for both xml and html sitemaps.
 * Regards,
    John McGrath

 * Hi well the thing is the sitemaps can’t really be found since they don’t actually
   exist 🙂 When the sitemap links are visited it’s not any “actual files” or anything
   that’s viewed, instead it’s dynamic content from the database that’s presented.
 * So this means you can’t really edit them sorry (unless you dig into the plugins
   php files).
 * Have no idea how to change from http to https, but one thing you can do though
   is force it with htaccess. Can’t really remember how to do it, but it’s one way
   to ensure that everyone who visits does it with https.

 * Hi,
 * If you correctly moved your site to https, bc. sitemap are dynamic, all links
   are changed to https. So if some links exist there with http, it means, these
   links real exist with http what is not the best 😉
    Anyway you can try this plugin
   [https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/)
 * To check and replace any old http links to https in database. Also you have to
   put redirect to .htaccess that anything with http is redirected to https.
    Don’t
   forget to backup database first, bc. what you will change with that plugin you
   can change back 🙂

 * Hi Webbjocke and Peter,
 * Thank you for your responses.
 * i will try the better-search-replace plugin. i have been through all of the php
   database files and updates all of the link i found to https.
 * i have set up redirects in .htaccess, but also wanted to tidy up all of the internal
   links to https for whole of site consistency.
 * Many thanks again for your input.
