verification email link needs https

I have WordPress MU enabled with sub-domains and Buddypress 2.8.2 plugin network activated. I am using Buddyboss Boss 2.1.3 Child Theme. I also have a Comodo Wildcard SSL Cert
The thing I am trying to figure out is how can I make the registration confirmation email produce a link with https. As it is now I am getting http which when clicked on sends me back to my home page. If I manually put the url in the browser using https I get to the sub-site front page.

The site is https://atblogpages.com
I have also started this topic in wordpress.org support

I know there is a way to get this correct.
Any help? Please. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

if you already have an SSL certificate, you need to add a line of code to wp-config:
define ( 'FORCE_SSL_ADMIN' , true);
and to change the site permalinks: Dashboard > General and to add some redirection rules to your htaccess file.
More details here.

You should use HTTPS throughout your site if you want to force the email to use SSL links.

Or force HTTPS on individual pages like the registration page so activation email links will use SSL.

The other alternative is filtering the email tokens to use HTTPS:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.8.2/src/bp-core/bp-core-functions.php#L3120

If you’re a WordPress developer, hook on to the 'bp_after_send_email_parse_args' filter and do checks against the 'tokens' array key.

For more info on the 'bp_after_X_parse_args' filter, see:

If you’re talking about this specific instance where a user has registered a site during registration:

Must change BLOG_URL and user-site.url from http to https

Then, I’ve added a fix for this here:
