    Hi,

    I’m developing a site here: http://wp.cessecurity.com/

    I changed the General Settings from http to https. for both URLs.

    I was prompted to log out and then Admin access went missing:
    http://wp.cessecurity.com/wp-admin (404)

    I have FTP access. When I delete .htaccess, the site yields a 500 error.

    When I define the URLs in .htaccess as “https”, the whole site breaks.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    Frank

    Hello,

    Have you edited your wp-config.php file? You need to add the following before the “stop editing” section:
    define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);
    Have a look at this article which explains how to use SSL for WordPress.

    Cheers,

    Rob

    Thanks for the prompt response, Rob!

    I was able to get back into the admin panel.

    Best wishes,

    Frank
