 * Activating the WordPress HTTPS plugin takes [http://www.siteB.com](http://www.siteB.com)(
   domain name changed) down with a parse_url error:-
 * parse_url([http:///www.siteA.com/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse_url-error/?output_format=md))[
   [function.parse-url](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse_url-error/function.parse-url?output_format=md)]:
   Unable to parse URL
 * The strange thing is that other than a link in the footer (valid html) I can 
   find no reference to [http://www.siteA.com](http://www.siteA.com) in the database,.
   htaccess, wp-config or anywhere else I could think of.
 * Any ideas?
