I know nothing about tweaking WordPress for SSL, but here is some code that can change whatever you might currently have in the boxes at Settings > General:
/*-either-*/
/** @ near top of wp-config.php /*toggle on/off*
define('WP_HOME','http://domain.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://domain.com');
/*-or-*/
/** @ near top of wp-config.php /*toggle on/off*
define('WP_HOME','http://www.domain.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://www.domain.com');
/*-end-*/
Select and edit one pair of lines or the other, then temporarily place a slash after /*toggle on/off* just above them to un-comment them.
when i open
http://www.jayaramprabhudurairaj.com/wp-login.php
it takes me to
https://www.jayaramprabhudurairaj.com/404.html
on what page would i use your lines as shown below ?
define('WP_HOME','http://jayaramprabhudurairaj.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://jayaramprabhudurairaj.com');
That guide is incomplete if your hosting setup isn’t correct, the first step after installing the SSL certificate is to see if you can access your website using https://.
1. Clear your cookies.
2. Go into your web host’s control panel and open phpMyAdmin.
3. Open the database for your affected WordPress website.
4. Run the following query changing YOURWEBSITE for your website’s domain:
UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = 'http://YOURWEBSITE' WHERE option_name IN ('siteurl', 'home');
on what page would i use your lines as shown below ?
define('WP_HOME','http://jayaramprabhudurairaj.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://jayaramprabhudurairaj.com');
/** @ near top of wp-config.php
The SQL ItalyExpat has posted is essentially the same via cPanel > phpMyAdmin, but I think you have also changed ‘WP_SITEURL’.
I am hosting this from host gator, where/what/how to edit wp-login.php file and how to open the settings page ?
i would really appreciate if someone could help me with the steps, i
dont even know where to start.
Hi,
Start from scratch and refer following guide to install SSL certificate:
