The link problem after install SSL on the site

  • Hi everyone
    I working on one of a client site, new install SSL (not from me) have an issue with their image and a tag source link, I believe some other developers check on database and remove the old HTTP to https, or he/she use a function to rewrite that link.
    Most of the site link work on HTTPS, but some part of site link still broken, so I use chrome console inspect the element, find out their link like this below:

    
//////// A tag link in SSL site ////////
<a href="https://https://www.yourdomain.com/products/product-2/" title="my-title 2">Continue ?</a>

    and after I click it, the link shows up in the chrome URL browser like this, missing the colon. and have http still

    
https://https//www.yourdomain.com/products/product-2/

    So my question is how can fix that link, besides go inside their database( I have an issue to access their database from their hosting account info, I do have the FTP access), can I use Jquery to fix that link for a short-term solution? because have a lot of page link is broken.

    Sorry about the long post, but really want to fix this site up. Thank you so much for all of your help.

    I suggest you install and use Interconnect/IT’s search and replace script. It searches the WP database and properly replaces within serialized arrays without breaking the format. It’s installed via FTP and runs from your browser. You do not need direct access to the DB or WP to use the tool.

    It gets the DB credentials from wp-config.php, so be sure to install its folder at the same level as WP root so it can find this file. This tool introduces a huge security risk by its presence, be sure to remove it when you are done using it.
