 * Why does the plugin not see its on a fully SSL site and write [https://links](https://links)
   and not [http://links](http://links)?

 * Hi [@pubdirltd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pubdirltd/),
 * Thanks for getting in touch!
 * Could you please check your Site Address (URL) under your Settings -> General,
   to verify if you have the https:// saved on your settings? It is likely that 
   you might have a different protocol ([http://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-http-instead-of-https/?output_format=md))
   saved on your Site Address (URL) that’s why it writes differently.
 * I hope this helps! Please let me know how it goes!
