 * I run Synology DS118 incl. website domain and SSL certificate.
    I install wordpress
   directly to the root (excl. wordpress directory) I install plugin Easy HTTPS (
   SSL) Redirection working fine My Website running Secure with https:// everything
   running fine..
 * I get conflicting information from my “Media Library files” this URL is still
   http:// when I use “Edit more details” that URL shows https://
 * QST, How can I get my “Media Library files” URL on https:// instead of [http://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/my-media-library-files-url-http-wrong-should-be-https/?output_format=md)?
 * Thxs Rob, The Netherlands

 * Use the plugin “better search replace”. Search for `http://example.com` and replace
   with `https://example.com`. When done, make sure you clear any caches. No plugins
   are necessary to have an https site.

 * Do you have any caching/optimization plugins? Does the synology server do its
   own caching?

 * I have no idea what that means. If there’s no caching, results should be immediate
   after running better-search-replace.

 * I do WP in parallel directories:
 * /var/www/siteone.comn
    /var/www/sitetwo.com
 * etc. It makes things a lot easier when I try to go find a site.

 * Finaly I take an other route to solve my problem
 * Open phpMyAdmin
    Goto wp_dbase left panel wp_options Goto Option_id 1: edit siteurl
   from [http://&#8230](http://&#8230); to [https://&#8230](https://&#8230); press
   go Goto Option_id 2: edit home from [http://&#8230](http://&#8230); to [https://&#8230](https://&#8230);
   press go Close phpMyAdmin
 * Now my Media Library files URL show [https://&#8230](https://&#8230);
    Problem
   solved…
