Hi!  
⭐Environment:  
My discourse docker(Recent version) is deployed on a single server(centOS) and uses a ‘80:3000’ configuration, followed by separate use of nginx to provide HTTPS services.

⭐Problem:  
Users can access it normally “[https://example.com](https://example.com)” . But after logging in, the redirect address changed to “[http://example.com](http://example.com)” (starts with http). The link in the activation email for new users also starts with http.  
The above situation will prevent users from further accessing the website.

⭐What configuration should I modify to make the jump link, redirect address, and email activation link on the page start with https？

Looking forward to answering. Thank you in advance 🌺.

Enabling the `force https` site setting should fix this.
