    Hi,

    I have a question and I hope you can help.

    I plan to change the whole website from HTTP to HTTPS.

    I’m using a plugin to do this and also htaccess rewrite rules.

    Do I have to make any changes in Yoast, regarding the XML sitemap or Yoast will do this automatically?

    I did a test and I could see that the links in the sitemap are now https. Then, I deactivated the HTTPS plugin I’m using and I also deleted the htaccess rule.

    Basically, I switched back to http. I checked the Yoast XML sitemap and all links are still https. I also cleared the cache. They are the same.

    I’m not sure how or when will be the XML links updated, if I switch to HTTPS on the live website.

    Now I did it on a test website.

    I hope you can help.

    Thank you.

    Regards,
    Alin

    Yoast SEO uses the WordPress URLs listed in Admin > Settings > General and works well with https sites.

    If the sitemap doesn’t reflect the WordPress URLs, please deactivate sitemaps, clear your cache, and reactivate the sitemaps.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your reply. Google removed that option. You can no longer change the URL.

    I have a multisite and the URL is in wp-config.php. I’ll change it also there and deactivate-activate the sitemaps.

    Thank you for your help and time.
