# Upgraded 4.8 Sites not recognizing HTTPS

 * We have started having a problem with all of our upgraded 4.8 client sites after
   the upgrade. Everything was running fine until we upgraded to 4.8. Now the WordPress
   Settings don’t seem to recognize the **s** under siteurl and home in the database.
   When we view the URLs under Settings, they’re showing up as http (see below).
   This is happening to all client sites that are using an SSL.
 * We are using Cloudflare to create a redirect for HTTP > HTTPS.
 * **Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have any insight as to why this
   might be happening? **
 * We’ve updated all URLs, GUIDs, etc. Because of the missing https in the site 
   settings, it’s pulling in http for all CMS assets, the login form, and anything
   else that utilized the siteurl in the database.
 * _URLs blurred for client privacy:_
 * Wordpress Settings:
    ⌊Settings Pic⌉
 * Database URLs:
    ⌊Database Pic⌉

 * Have you tried:
    – **Flushing any caching plugins you might be running**, as 
   well as server and/or [browser caches](http://www.refreshyourcache.com/). Not
   just your browser, but any op cache or content network cache as well [such as Cloudflare](https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200169246-How-do-I-purge-my-cache-).
   If you are using SiteLock, manage your caching there. – **Flushing Managed host
   caches**. Managed WP hosting often has special caches. If your host has a “Purge
   Varnish” or “Flush Memcache” tool, try that. You can ask your provider to flush
   memcache and Varnish for you if necessary.

 * We have cleared Cloudflare cache and Pantheon caches. We aren’t using any caching
   plugins. WordPress Pantheon Page Cache has been cleared.

 * My coworker found a solution. We followed the instructions here and it fixed 
   our problem.
