  Even though wordpress.com now automatically runs all sites on https, internal links on existing posts still use http, and when I create a new link to an existing post, the editor defaults to http. This is true both for the old and the new editor.

  I don’t mind manually adding an “s” when creating links, but is there a way to bulk-replace the existing http internal links?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi @dhmacher, I’m not able to duplicate that. Are you adding links through the existing content search or some other way?

  @supernovia, well, this is awkward. It seems that when reading old posts, the links *do* actually come up as https, but when editing them, the links are http.

  Thanks for your time!

  @dhmacher odd. Hmm.

  I’m not sure I totally understand, but can you confirm whether the links are okay now?

  Yeah, so the links are saved as http, and that’s how they appear in the editor, but when you look at the post in the reader, they seem to automatically translate to https.

  So, all good (albeit a bit confusing :).

  @dhmacher aye, it’s odd that they say http in the first place. Mine don’t, even in the editor. If you want to help me chase this down a bit more, let me know which post was giving you trouble, and whether you’re using /wp-admin or wordpress.com/post

  If you’re fine with things as is, though, that’s fine too. Cheers :)
