 * Hello,
 * I have created a multisite and it is set up as follows:
    Main: mainsite.com Site1:
   site1.mainsite.com Site2: site2.com
 * I enabled ssl through LetsEncrypt and when I visit the https versions of all 
   three of the sites above everything works great; however, if i specify http all
   of the sites will forward to mainsite.com as https. More specifically:
 * [https://mainsite.com](https://mainsite.com) -> [https://mainsite.com](https://mainsite.com)
   
   [http://mainsite.com](http://mainsite.com) -> [https://mainsite.com](https://mainsite.com)
 * [https://site1.mainsite.com](https://site1.mainsite.com) -> [https://site1.mainsite.com](https://site1.mainsite.com)
   
   [http://site1.mainsite.com](http://site1.mainsite.com) -> [https://mainsite.com](https://mainsite.com)
 * [https://site2.com](https://site2.com) -> [https://site2.com](https://site2.com)
   
   [http://site2.com](http://site2.com) -> [https://mainsite.com](https://mainsite.com)
 * Does anyone have any insight? I have tried several things in the htaccess file,
   apache config files, and wp-config with no luck. I’ve been wracking my brain 
   on this for 2 days…

 * Read through this tutorial to get your main domain working right then attack 
   the rest of the problem.

 * [@jnashhawkins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jnashhawkins/) Thanks for
   your response.
 * I have followed the tutorial with no luck. I first tried the htaccess method,
   which I’ve tried in several variations at this point, and then even tried the
   plugin with the wordpress 301 and javascript redirections enabled and everything
   http is still forwarding to the main site.
