# Home/URL not being updated to https

 * I have a database restore issue with my site and it seems that it was caused 
   by your plugin.
    I wanted to restore a database backup of that site today and
   the restore dialogue told me that it’s a different site I want to restore it 
   to, but it was the same site.
 * Ashley from UpdraftPlus asked if home/URL was still http and when i checked, 
   Home/URL (settings->general) was still http! I changed it to https and I have
   to test, if a restore will work after next scheduled backup now.
 * I used Really Simple SSL (Pro) to convert the site to https weeks ago.
 * Please check if this is a bug or is this not changed to not to lockout admin?
   It caused a big confusion and a few hours to find out.

 * As stated in another topic, your plugin changes site url back to http when deactivating
   plugin. It is likely to be the reason for this issue.

 * Ah, ok, as you explained in the other thread, this happened because you deactivated
   the plugin. Can I mark this thread as resolved?
