 * Good morning,
 * I have been having this error for the past few days now. I first thought it was
   a single page until I discovered that it is a sitewide issue.
 * All INTERNAL LINKS on my site is showing **[https://https//https://](https://https//https://)
   in front of the URL** instead of direct link. Please check the link below.
 * For example:
    [https://allianceinmotionnigeria.com/registration] interlinks to[
   https://https//https://allianceinmotionnigeria.com/shop/] thereby making the 
   links not accessible. I have tried to removed all plugins but nothing is working.
 * NB: In some instances, it will show it like this [https://www.https://https://%5BWEBSITE](https://www.https://https://%5BWEBSITE)
   ADDRESS]
 * I once used an SSL plugin to change my site from http to HTTPS but I discovered
   that the site is not forcing people to secured version, so I used Really Simple
   SSL plugin to do that according to a guide I read online.
 * Please I am newbie, please guide me on where to go and what to do in order for
   the link to go to the right page without those long [https://https://https://](https://https://https://)
   in front of the site link.
 * Thank you for your help.
 * ps: I tried to avoid linking because I don’t want to sound spamming. I urgently
   needed help and please and please, help me. Thank you so much.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fssl-error-internal-link-is-showing-https-https-https-in-front%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Thanks James. But after using this Velvet Blues, it is showing errors. Not updating
   at all.
 * HERE’S THE ERROR MESSAGE:
 * Velvet Blues Update URLs
    ERROR: Something may have gone wrong. Your URLs have
   not been updated.

 * Why do the results show 0 URLs updated?
    This happens if a URL is incorrect OR
   if it is not found in the content. Check your URLs and try again.

 * For that, I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/velvet-blues-update-urls](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/velvet-blues-update-urls)
   so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.
 * Or, try a different plugin, like [https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/)

 * The plugin didn’t work. Please is there any other way I could get this sorted?
   I am thinking maybe there’s a misconfiguration on my website server or something.\
 * Don’t really know why.

 * Are the URLs in the content itself actually wrong, when you edit the posts/pages,
   or are they being changed only when the content is viewed?

 * Oh I see, never mind, it’s the non-content links.
 * Double-check your WordPress and Site Addresses at Settings > General in your 
   site’s Dashboard.
