[liberationtech] HTTPS links on wordpress blog post have S removed automatically, odd

[SiNA]

Try adding this to wp-config.php, it should make all the core parts of
wordpress, use https for urls that are loading from an HTTPS site:

if(strlen(strstr( $_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL'],"HTTPS"))>0) {
    define('WP_HOME',    'https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '');
    define('WP_SITEURL',     'https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '');
}
else {
    define('WP_HOME',    'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '');
    define('WP_SITEURL',     'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '');
}


Hope it helps!
