# Change main website site url from http to https for Multisite

 * I found a similar topic but it didn´t solve my problem. I installed a WordPress
   Multisite. I changed all the values manually that are described in endless forums
   and tutorials.
 * My Website > Network > Website > Edit > Info –> Here the site url stays with 
   http.
 * My Website > Network > Website > Edit > Settings –> Here the site url and home
   have been changed to https.
 * Why?
 * I checked my changes endless times. The changes should be all correct and done
   where they should. Still the main site url stays at http what I don´t understand.
   I have done the changes regarding to this tutorial and others:
 * [https://wpengine.com/support/how-to-change-a-multi-site-primary-domain/](https://wpengine.com/support/how-to-change-a-multi-site-primary-domain/)
 * Also I put in the values
 *     ```
       define( 'WP_HOME', 'http://somedomain.com' );
       define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://somedomain.com' );
       ```
   
 * just to be sure! It didn´t do anything so I deleted this last part again.
 * Can u please help me. This is so frustrating.

 * Someone from the German wordpress.org site helped me out with a link form Stack
   Exchange. So in case someone had the same issue, here is a possible solution 
   that helped me out. That´s his words regarding to this link: [https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/355888/129212](https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/355888/129212)
 * “Workaround:
 * 1.) Make a backup of the database. No backup, no pity.
 * 2.) In wp-config.php, comment out the code block for multisite with the prefix//
   in front of each line (do not delete).
 * Analogous:
 *     ```
       // define ('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
       // define ('MULTISITE', true);
       // define ('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true);
       // $ base = '/';
       // define ('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'example.com');
       // define ('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
       // define ('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
       // define ('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
       ```
   
 * 3.) Login again and change the URL to [https://example.com](https://example.com)(
   with your domain) under Settings > General
 * 4.) In the wp-config.php delete in the code block the comment characters // for
   multisite.
 * Analogous:
 *     ```
       define ('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
       define ('MULTISITE', true);
       define ('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true);
       $ base = '/';
       define ('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'example.com');
       define ('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
       define ('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
       define ('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
       ```
   
 * 5.) Carry on as if nothing had happened.”
 * He said that it seems that WordPress didn´t consider that the main page / parent
   page would change in any way. So it is the easiest way to return with the previous
   steps to a “normal site”, change the urls and then “activate” Multisite again.
 * Hope it helps! See ya!
