issues converting service from http to https

I am trying to convert my WCF service from http to https. I have purchased an SSL certificate and now I am looking at updating references to http to https. However when I do this I am getting the following warnings:

Users\Administrator\source\repos\TiosService\TiosService\App.config(141,79,-1,-1): warning : WCF configuration validation warning: The 'bindingConfiguration' attribute is invalid - The value 'webHttpsBinding_ITransaction2' is invalid according to its datatype 'serviceBindingConfigurationType'.

Below is the app.config with the changes I have made highlighted. Appreciate some guidance.
regards
Pat

1) In the Solution Explorer, under the Service References folder, right-click the service reference name with the issue and select 'Configure Service Reference'.

2) The Service Reference Settings window will appear. Uncheck the box labeled 'Reuse types in referenced assemblies' and click the OK button.

3) Rebuild the project.

After rebuilding, retest

Hello, can you please try the following steps

Change mexHttpBinding to mexHttpsBinding in the second end point.

Hide Copy Code
<service name="WCFWSHttps.Service1" behaviorConfiguration="WCFWSHttps.Service1Behavior">

<endpoint address="https://localhost/WCFWSHttps/Service1.svc" binding="wsHttpBinding"

bindingConfiguration="TransportSecurity" contract="WCFWSHttps.IService1"/>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
</service>
