It would be nice if, when the SSL cert has been trusted, the Admin and View Site buttons opened the site using https. ---

I just came across this issue too. Not a biggie but it’s a minor annoyance to have to manually set the site protocol to `https` once the site cert has been trusted and you click on either **Admin** or **View Site** buttons. It might be nice to have an option for each site to open via `http` or `https`, and if the site SSL cert is set then this could be set to `https` for convenience. ---

This should be simple enough to implement to be added asap and ship with the next release. @clay would you folks please consider adding it? ---

Closing this thread out as we have a duplicate bug over here: > [@Site opens in http only](https://community.localwp.com/t/site-opens-in-http-only/41890/): > > Bug Summary The WP-admin and the Open Site button opens the site in question only via http not https, even though a SSL is set and the cert is trusted in OS X. You CAN change the protocol manually. Once changing the home and siteurl options in the db manually. I can use the WP-admin to force the site via https but not the Open Site button/link. This is both for existing and NEW sites. Apache and NginX do not seem to make a difference. Why is this important? To ensure that remote loaded asset… The Devs have a bug filed for this and it’s on the roadmap! ---
