# Session Expired After Viewing Sitemap with HTTPS Admin

 * I just turned ON the Sitemaps feature and testing it out. When I click to view
   the sitemap to verify the entries in the linked sitemap xml files, I am constantly
   getting logged out of WordPress. It happens after a few minutes or clicking a
   link ([http://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/session-expired-after-viewing-sitemap-with-https-admin/?output_format=md))
   from the sitemap (not sure what is the exact trigger).
 * I get the “Session Expired” popup and must login again for no reason. I do not
   have SSL forced admin turned on but I always access the WordPress admin over 
   HTTPS.
 * Has anyone seen this issue and have any suggestions on whether it is a plugin
   conflict, config issue, or bug with Yoast SEO Sitemaps (or other) feature? Please
   help – thanks!

 * UPDATE: I do not know if it is the sitemap feature specifically but now I’m seeing
   the “Session Expired” re-login popup after previewing a new post that is not 
   yet published. My “Edit” post page is using HTTPS but when I click on the “Preview”
   button, the post preview opens without SSL encryption.
 * Perhaps there is something loading as part of the SEO Toolbar that causes WordPress
   to logout since there is a mismatch of HTTP and HTTPS. Does that make any sense?
 * Thanks for any feedback and advice you can share!
