When I use the tag site_url it should always point to the url I have entered in general config. However Im using a shared SSL, which redirects customers to certain pages like https://secure4.securedomain.com/mydomain_prefix/somepage
In which case, any items using {site_url} are replaced with https://secure4.securedomain.com/

example:

<link href="http://mydomain.com/css/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

comes out as :

<link href="https://secure4.securedomain.com/css/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

How about if you create a global variable called {gv_site_url} (I’m guessing EE won’t let you create one called site_url). Put your site url in here and call it with this tag which is never going to get changed?

Or if you can get away with it - just use relative file paths such as

<a href="/template/page">

which is what I tend to do and then not need the site_url anyway.

Hope one of those might work for you anyway?

Hey imagineer,

You are right, that is the expected behavior.

I like mekonta’s suggestion. That should work quite nicely, just remember snippets will not work with GV’s.

Cheers,
