 * I’m in the process of switching from http to https for my sites.
 * My question is .. for the old http site which has 400 comments, my author name
   link remains as the http version.
 * Without manually changing every comment for my author name to the https version,
   is there a plugin or change in phpmyadmin that would make this job quicker?
 * Thank you,
    Andy.

 * When you properly change your site to https, the links will take care of themselves.
 * Use the plugin “better search replace”. Search for `http://example.com` and replace
   with `https://example.com` and your site will work as an all-https site.

 * Thanks for the help Steve .. but I mean all my own author comment replies to 
   my visitors comments.
 * These all remain at the old site ‘http’ version of my site, pointing to my homepage,
   or rather the http version of my homepage.
 * Any new comments, and my name in the author comment is automatically https, but
   how do I change the other 400-ish comments which show my author name link at 
   http version? Hope that makes sense!!

 * Those links are in the database, so the search and replace will change them.
 * Please provide a link to a page on your site where we can see this. Thanks.
