 I've been having SSL issues on my site driving me crazy (I'm not a novice
 developer), and today I decided to look into the database. When I looked
 at the WordPress Address (URL) and the Site Address (URL) fields in the
 site's settings, both displayed the website as https://mysite.com (that
 is, with the "s" in "https"). But when I looked into the database, both
 were just plain "http".

 This seems very odd, especially since when both of the fields in the
 settings were showing "https" and I clicked "Save Changes" it gave me a
 "Settings saved" confirmation. But when I look into the database again,
 nothing changed and both URLs are just "http".

 I was logged into the admin area with https when this was happening, so
 maybe the fields were somehow filled out automatically with "https" in the
 start of the site URL and home URL because I was logged in with https. Or
 is it something else? Why did the two fields for the URLs not display what
 was saved in the database? And why weren't the settings saved when I
 clicked Save?
