 * Hello, and thanks for the great plugin!
 * There is an affiliate site with about 500 posts and most of them contain affiliate
   links created with Thirsty Affiliates and using the http:// address of the site.
 * If I move the site to https:// will ALL the old affiliate links break or will
   they be redirected to the [https://example.com/recommends/xxxxx](https://example.com/recommends/xxxxx)
   version ( by just adding a redirection from http -> https in htaccess)
 * I am a bit confused.

 * Hi [@imarketingr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/imarketingr/)
 * They should redirect fine but it also depends a bit on if you have a redirect
   from http to https on your host. I recommend you set that up anyway to catch 
   any old links.
 * What I would suggest you do is export the DB using something like WP Migrate 
   DB, replace all [http://example.com](http://example.com) with [https://example.com](https://example.com)
   during the export and re-import your database.
 * If you go this path, I have to say it: Take lots of backups!!!
 * Hope this helps!
 * Cheers,
