[Resolved] new SSL certificate is causing View links to break

My host (Bluehost) offers free SSL certificates for WordPress sites - so I activated it for nmi.org and writingmusicaltheatre.com

They did something on the server side to make it re-direct when someone types hidden link - it goes to the right (secure) page - even though you don't see either http or https in the URL.

BUT this doesn't seem to work with links from views!

Within my Views, I often have <a href> links that go to a page - and I have used the "http" preface. Those links are now broken. I tried to change the reference to one of them to "https" - but it is still broken (and besides, I have hundreds so I wouldn't want to change them all manually!)

Any suggestions for how I could fix this???

Thanks!

A clarification - I changed the link inside the view to read:

<a href='https:/admin/renter-management/>MANAGE RENTER</a>

This works - even though the actual domain - hidden link - is not shown

BUT I have hundreds of these links in my views - it would take me forever to change all of them - is there any other way to do it?

Hi Elise,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Based on what you are saying, you have hardcoded all your links in the view to use 'http:'. The best way I see of fixing this is through the database itself to do a find and replace on your database and replace all the http with https.

Failing this the next best thing is to edit your links individually in each view to update them with the https.

Thanks,
Shane
