Moving from http to https

    Hello, and thanks for the great plugin!

    There is an affiliate site with about 500 posts and most of them contain affiliate links created with Thirsty Affiliates and using the https:// address of the site.

    If I move the site to https:// will ALL the old affiliate links break or will they be redirected to the https://example.com/recommends/xxxxx version ( by just adding a redirection from http -> https in htaccess)

    I am a bit confused.

  • Hi @imarketingr

    They should redirect fine but it also depends a bit on if you have a redirect from http to https on your host. I recommend you set that up anyway to catch any old links.

    What I would suggest you do is export the DB using something like WP Migrate DB, replace all https://example.com with https://example.com during the export and re-import your database.

    If you go this path, I have to say it: Take lots of backups!!!

    Hope this helps!

    Cheers,
