 * My site _[ redundant link removed ]_ is being added in search console as http,
   but I have changed all URLs to https now, and cleared my browser cache. I’ve 
   also removed the incorrect site from SEarch Console.
 * The issue still happens, the site is still being added to Search Console using
   http not https.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fstuck-in-authentication-loop-related-to-https%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

   is a dump from the Site Health info:

 * Hi, the update has not fixed this, and the issue still remains.
 * This works in another site, but this one is still returning http when going through
   the three steps.
 * Because of this, it returns to the dashbaord asking me to Sign in (which I already
   have).
 * Other people are having the same issue, what’s the reason??

 * [@leec87](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leec87/) thanks for the details.
   Before the update the Site Kit service wouldn’t recognize the change in the URL
   if it was updated (like you did before). The fix I linked to above resolves the
   issue, however it appears you may need to do a few more steps to prompt the update.
 * 1) From the WordPress dashboard under _Settings > General_, could you temporarily
   change the [WordPress Address and Site Address](https://i.imgur.com/MkFLF0E.png)
   to `http://` and then back to `https://`. (you may have to log back into your
   WP admin)
    2) Reset Site Kit 3) Attempt the setup process again
 * Let me know if you have any questions and if you are able to connect.

   The update did not fix it for me either, but this is what worked for me.
    First,
   for good measure, make sure you’ve updated to the latest version of Site Kit.
 * 1.Sign into [Google Search Console](https://search.google.com) and remove your
   site.
    2. Add a new property as a URL prefix and enter your site with the https
   protocol 3. Login to WordPress Admin and reset Site Kit 4. Re-authenticate then
   all should be working if the WordPress Address and Site Address are set to the
   https protocol
 * I’ve been dealing with this for a little while, so I hope this helps.

 * [@gshawii](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gshawii/) thanks for sharing what
   worked for you. [@leec87](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leec87/) it looks
   like you were able to get Site Kit connected per the source code of your site?
