 * The site scan is, of course, reporting the warning for wp 6.1.1. Free version,
   no mute button displayed. The site recently (12/5) had a SSL certificate installed
   and so is https:
 * However, the report shows http: I noticed this on another site as well. Is there
   something in the settings I need to change? Where is it picking up the http: ?
   I did a search of the database posts, and there are no instances of http:
 * I noticed this on another site with SSL as well.

   Are you referring to the site web address displayed in the upper right corner
   of the report (eg [http://www.example.com](http://www.example.com)) ?

 * Hi [@terry777](https://wordpress.org/support/users/terry777/),
 * Ah ok. That report is generated by iThemes from:
 * > [https://itsec-site-scanner.ithemes.com/](https://itsec-site-scanner.ithemes.com/)
 * So that makes me think the data on iThemes server is not yet updated to reflect
   the change to SSL for your site. Kind of an educated guess, to be honest. Any
   thoughts [@shanedelierrr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shanedelierrr/)?

 * Hi [@terry777](https://wordpress.org/support/users/terry777/), thank you for 
   reaching out. Could you please try adding the below to your wp-config.php file
   then re-run a manual Site Scan and see if the vulnerability information reflects
   the HTTPS URL with the mute option?
 *     ```wp-block-code
       define('WP_HOME','https://example.com');
       define('WP_SITEURL','https://example.com');
       ```
   
 * Hi [@nlpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nlpro/), that could be the case,
   we also received a similar report on the pro version, and the above steps helped
   update the HTTPS site URL on the vulnerability information.

   a response, I’ll mark this post resolved. If you still need assistance, feel
