wp_update_urls_to_https(): bool

In this article

Update the ‘home’ and ‘siteurl’ option to use the HTTPS variant of their URL.

Description

If this update does not result in WordPress recognizing that the site is now using HTTPS (e.g. due to constants overriding the URLs used), the changes will be reverted. In such a case the function will return false.

Return

bool True on success, false on failure.
