Title: Assigning HTTPS to Site_Url & Home_Url Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Assigning HTTPS to Site_Url & Home_Url * [sarindufit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sarindufit/) * (@sarindufit) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/assigning-https-to-site_url-home_url/) * Hi all, * I have a slight issue with changing the SITE_URL and HOME_URL of wordpress installation. I want to assign a “htttps://” url to both the aforementioned parameters. When do so, some of the stylesheet and javascript links come out as “[http://”](http://”); URLs. Is there any issue with assigning “[https://”](https://”); URLs to SITE_UTL and HOME_URL? * Thank you in advance.

On a “bad idea” scale of 1 to 10 that is about a 13. 😉 * Yes, I know that’s in the Codex link but it should not be and that’s soon going to be corrected. 😀 * _*Drinks coffee*_ * [@sarindufit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sarindufit/) Before you do any of that make sure your web site has a working https URL first. Once that’s confirmed (and it sounds like you’ve done that part) then make a full backup of your database and files. * [http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups](http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups) [http://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database](http://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database) [http://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup](http://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup) * Backups are your friend and should be respected. 😉 * Once that’s done then give this a read as indicated byregan.khadgi. * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Changing_Your_Domain_Name_and_URLs](http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Changing_Your_Domain_Name_and_URLs) * See the part for updating your URLs? You want to search and replace all old URL` http://your-url-here` with `https://your-url-here` and the script on this page will safely let you do that. * [https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/](https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/) * But please read the instructions very carefully and delete that script when done. If something goes wrong then you will have that backup to revert to.
