 * The email sent summarizing some backups states Updraft backed up the http site
   vs. https. Is this a concern upon restore? Is there a way to configure Updraft/
   Wordpress to backup the site with the security certificate?

 * Hi,
 * Can you clarify what was in your email sent? We have more than one person who
   works on support. If you’ve already sent to one of our paid channels, then it’s
   best just to leave it there – wordpress.org don’t allow their forums to be used
   for commercial support ([https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/forum-welcome/#do-not-post-about-commercial-products](https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/forum-welcome/#do-not-post-about-commercial-products)).

 * Hi Rick,
 * This usually occurs when https is enforced, but not set as part of the site URL
   or Home URL options.
 * In your WP-Admin->Settings->General page, what is the ‘site URL’ option set to?

 * Hi,
 * Please could you send us a copy of the latest backup log?
 * The contents will be too large to post here directly, but you can use an online
   service such as Pastebin, and post the link here.

 * Hi Rick,
 * Thank you.
 * UpdraftPlus uses the WordPress `network_site_url()` function to fetch the site
   URL. This in turn uses `is_ssl()` to determine whether to return a https or http
   address.
 * In some cases where the site is behind a load balancer, this can fail to detect
   https.
 * However, this is not an issue in UpdraftPlus’ case, as the site URL is simply
   for user information. The log shows that the backup is completing correctly, 
   and the site and home URL will be stored correctly in the database.
    As such,
   the difference can be ignored.
