# Changing https back to http for WordPress URL

 * I’m building a site for a client, but when I try to log into the wp-admin on 
   it it automatically redirects from http and https and says ‘Web page not available’.
   As the site doesn’t show up normally in https, I believe there’s a problem with
   the WordPress address URL (not the site URL which is still http) being https 
   and would like this changed back to just http. I can’t SSH or FTP into it as 
   WordPress is the hosting site.
 * Obviously I don’t want to ask the client for their main account details as there’s
   sensitive information in there, and even with it I don’t know how I can change
   it back. Would it be possible for a site administrator to change it for me, without
   me being logged into the client’s actual account? (I have the user info to log
   into the wp-admin, just not the main one). The site is [http://mediamaven.com.au/wp-admin](http://mediamaven.com.au/wp-admin)
 * Thanks!

 * I guess http to https redirection must have been done via .htaccess.
 * Check the htaccess file and delete that part.

 * Hi,
 * It depends on host of your clients. Many allow more ftp accounts, so probably
   he can create one for you, ask him.
 * If you mean just admin login to WordPress site, just ask your client that he 
   create one user with administrator role in Dashboard – Users.
