 * This often happens when there are still URL’s pointing to HTTP or when you have
   a redirect plugin running.
 * Try first:
 * – Use a plugin like “better search replace” [https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/)
   and search and replace all occurrences of [http://example.com](http://example.com)
   to [https://example.com](https://example.com)
    – Check if you have a redirect
   rule in your .htaccess or if you use a redirect plugin that uses a conflicting
   redirect – Delete cookies
 * Does that help?

 * When i have used better search replace it did some changes and then the site 
   get into redirect loop so i had to change the url back from https to http in 
   the site address URL.
    No I don’t use any redirect plugin. Here is the htacess
   file content
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress Multisite
       # Using subdomain network type: https://wordpress.org/support/article/htaccess/#multisite
   
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   
       # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
       RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
   
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
       RewriteRule ^ - [L]
       RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
       RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
       RewriteRule . index.php [L]
   
       # END WordPress Multisite
   
       # php -- BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
       # Set the “ea-php71” package as the default “PHP” programming language.
       <IfModule mime_module>
         AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php71 .php .php7 .phtml
       </IfModule>
       # php -- END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
       ```

 * Your .htaccess looks ok.

 * Thanks for your respond, I was able to fix this issue by adding $_SERVER[‘HTTPS’]
   =’on’; to wp-config file
