 * 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](http://www.jayaramprabhudurairaj.com/wp-login.php)
   it takes me to [https://www.jayaramprabhudurairaj.com/404.html](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://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-worpress-https/?output_format=md).
 * 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');`

 * The SQL ItalyExpat has posted is essentially the same via cPanel > phpMyAdmin,
   but I think you have also changed ‘WP_SITEURL’.
