 * If anybody still looking for converting http to https by default when they create
   a new site in the multisite network.
 * You need the following code, You can make a Must Use plugin for this:
 *     ```
       //setup default options
       //apply_filters( 'wp_initialize_site_args', $args, $site, $network );
       add_filter( 'wp_initialize_site_args', 'rm_wp_initialize_site_args', 10, 2 );
   
       function rm_wp_initialize_site_args( $args, $site ){
   
   
       	$args['options']['home'] 	= 'https://'.$site->domain;
       	$args['options']['siteurl'] 	= 'https://'.$site->domain;
   
       	return $args;
       }
       ```
   
 * Because default http scehem is hard coded into the new workpress 5.4.6 – Unless
   you are using sub directory setup.
 * For sub domain setup it’s been hard coded here:
 * wp-includes/ms-site.php
    line: 725 and Line: 726

 * Hope this will help someone.
 * Thanks.
