 * The password reset link that is emailed to anyone requesting to reset their p/
   w has http prefix and does not work. If I manually replace this with https instead,
   it works fine. How can I change this in the back end? I have tried a search and
   replace plugin but it hasn’t picked it up! Any ideas? Thanks

 * Hey [@deeforce](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deeforce/),
 * Are you using any special security, https, or caching plugins?
 * I believe your Site URL and WordPress URL both are set to [https://coach-unlimited.co.uk](https://coach-unlimited.co.uk),
   correct? If that’s the case, it’s odd that you’d see port 443 appended to the
   URL (that’s usually reserved for SSL/TLS connections via https – so it wouldn’t
   work with an http: link, since that uses port 80.
 * Looks like you’re hosting at GoDaddy, correct? If you’re using their caching 
   or another caching plugin, make sure to clear your cache. If you’re using any
   other HTTPS plugins, you may wish to temporarily disable and see if that changes
   things. Would you have any other script or service that is forcing HTTPS connections
   for your site (CloudFlare, CloudProxy, etc.)?

 * Hi [@sewmyheadon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sewmyheadon/), thanks for
   replying.
 * Yes, urls are set to https. Hosting with TSOhost. Not using any caching plugins,
   but not sure if I’m using host’s cache.
 * I’ve got Wordfence installed, plus Email Address Encoder, plus Easy HTTPS (SSL)
   Redirection plugins. No other scripts or services to force https.
 * Perhaps I’ll start by deactivating these plugins and see what happens. Just doesn’t
   make any sense though!
 * Really apprecaite your input, thank you 🙂

 * My test site had all the same plugins and worked fine. The only difference is
   that it doesn’t have an ssl cert. So it generated a url without the port reference“
   443” in it. Not sure why the live site generates the url with 443, but I figured
   if I could get rid of it from the url then that would fix the issue. I am using
   Paid Member Subscriptions plugin and the support team have issued me with some
   code to add to functions.php. It works perfectly.
 * Thanks again for your input [@sewmyheadon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sewmyheadon/),
   I really appreciate it.
