# Hard coded URLs losing "https"

* I have a URL in my WordPress install’s header.php that calls a CSS file from
our CDN.
* ``
* But it’s getting changed to
* ``
* As you can see, the “s” gets lost and this isn’t a vallid non-HTTPS URL on the
Rackspace CDN system. In the Rackspace CDN system, the “ssl” sub-sub-domain is
replaced with an “r” and a random number on non-HTTPS.
* I’ve tried setting “Force SSL Exclusively” and “Remove Unsecure Elements” on
and off and it still does this. I’ve also tried using the “domain mapping” feature
to rewrite [http://randomstring.r22.cf2.rackcdn.com](http://randomstring.r22.cf2.rackcdn.com)
to [https://randomstring.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com](https://randomstring.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com).
Neither works.
* Any ideas?

* Domain Mapping doesn’t work from HTTPS to HTTP, but that is purely an oversight
on my part. I’ll get it fixed in the next version.
* In the meantime, you’re more the welcome to try this hack using a filter I provide.
* ```
function wphttps_fix_cdn($url) {
return str_replace('ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com', 'r22.cf2.rackcdn.com', $url);
}
add_filter('http_external_url', 'wphttps_fix_cdn');
```

* [@mvied](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvied/): Awesome! Thanks.
* Just to confirm, which file do I add this string to?

* It should _probably_ go in the active theme’s `functions.php` file. For example,
if your site’s active theme is TwentyTwelve, look into the folder named `/wp-
content/themes/twentytwelve/` for the file named `functions.php`. The code snippet
should go to the end of the `functions.php` file. Please remove this code, once
the next version is up, though.

* That sort of worked, but now on the pages I have set to be secure, it rewrites
them to just HTTP.

* [@venkat008](https://wordpress.org/support/users/venkat008/) Not sure what you’re
asking, but start a new topic and be as descriptive as possible.
* Now, back on topic. I’ve recoded Domain Mapping into URL Mapping in my [development version](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wordpress-https.zip).
It’s probably going to be a while before I release this version, so you’re more
than welcome to give it a shot.
