: WMT Change of Address not working I have been asked by a client to install an ssl certificate on her website which I have done and all working well! I have sorted out the security plugin
I have been asked by a client to install an ssl certificate on her website which I have done and all working well! I have sorted out the security plugin and the .htaccess file with correct 301 redirects.
All variations of the site automatically redirect to www.example.com I have also added all the variations to GWT and set the preffered domains to example.com
However with all of this done I cannot use the change of address feature as it's just coming with no available sites. Have I missed something here?

UPDATE
I thought it may be good to add a couple of screenshots showing my clients GWT account...
Here is the change address page for the site also to confirm I want the change of address to goto the version...
Finally if I click on the add it now link on the above page I get this....

You can not use change of address tool to migrate http to https version of website.
Here is official reference webpage, says.
The tool does not currently support the following kinds of site moves:
subdomain name changes, protocol changes (from HTTP to HTTPS), or
path-only changes.
