Place the following code into your functions.php:

add_filter( 'redirect_canonical', function ( $redirect_url = '', $requested_url = '' ) {
    if ( preg_match( '/^http:\/\//', $redirect_url ) ) {
        $redirect_url = preg_replace( '/^http:\/\//', 'https://', $redirect_url );
    }

    return $redirect_url;
}, 10, 2 );

This will check all redirect url’s on having https:// instead of https://, fixing them as it goes.

Hi @dcavins,

The first thing I checked ?? worth to be noticed that the URL’s had indeed a https:// prefix and we changed it to have https://.
The problem still existed after we updated the settings.

After that we did a Search and Replace, checked the .htaccess for unusual configuration, ran a check on configured redirects, reactivated the plugins.
But no results so far.

Hi @dcavins,

I used httpstatus.io to figure out the redirects.

Status Code, Scheme,    Host,                                 Path

The first redirect, to ?p=%d&bp-attachment=%s is the one to HTTP.

– Edit
Good to let you know that when attachments are not private, the problem is not there.

We encoutered the same issue.
Somewhere in the process the URL is redirected a couple of times.

We solved the problem (for now) by editing /wp-content/plugins/buddypress-docs/includes/templatetags.php:2203

We fixed the attachment URL:

$markup = sprintf(
			'<li id="doc-attachment-%d"><span class="doc-attachment-mime-icon doc-attachment-mime-%s"></span><a href="%s" title="%s">%s</a>%s</li>',
			$attachment_id,
			$attachment_ext,
			
			// $att_url,
			sprintf( "%s?bp-attachment=%s", $doc_url, $att_base ),
			
			esc_attr( $att_base ),
			esc_html( $att_base ),
			$attachment_delete_html
		);

I know this is not the correct way to do it, but we needed it to work quickly.
Please update the plugin.
